Great way to experience the outdoors in Sweden - My family and I were visiting Stockholm, and decided to take a 3 hour morning kayak tour with our kids and some friends with Skargardens Kanotcenter. We had a fantastic time! Even though it rained, Theresa and Joshua made sure everyone had an amazing, fun and exciting day. We even had a Fika (traditional Swedish coffee break) on a small island, which was a delicious touch that we weren't expecting. After we were finished with the trip, we enjoyed the sauna, which was a great way to end a perfect morning. We will do this again for sure when we are in Stockholm next time!

Don't leave Stockholm without kayaking with Andy and Milena at Vaxholm/Resarö ! Try it, you'll love it - Andy and Milena are very caring and smiling people ! Milena always ensured that we were OK with our dry suits and all the equipments. She was extremely kind and patient when providing us guidance and tips on how to handle the kayak and securing our stuff from water !
We felt ultra safe when paddling with Andy. He always ensured that we were OK in spite of very windy conditions. Andy gave us just enough explanations about the fauna (birds, beavers and son), the local settings when we were paddling.
Our son loved the fika and the overall experience. So did we !
Getting to the kayak center from Stockholm by bus is ultra easy.
Try it you'll love it !

Don't miss this lovely experience, Company run by awesome people. - Milena and Andy are amazing, fun, and caring people. We did a winter kayak tour and had such a good time. They make it possible for anyone to be able to have a great trip, regardless of experience. Great location to start from and easy access to beautiful islands to kayak around.

The best experience in Archipelagio - We had our best experience in the Archipel thanks to Milena.
The place is very easy to access by bus from Stockholm. We were with our 3 kids + suitcases and could let all our belongings on site.
Milena was very helpful to explain all the tips to manipulate easily the canoe. We stopped by a very nice spot where the kids could swim for a delightful fika - hot chocolate cannelbullar etc. .
Milena is very friendly and we could have a very nice conversation about Sweden culture and food as we are food lovers... We finish the day with a sauna with all the family - According to our kids, It was the best experience we had in Sweden .. ! We recommend highly this Kayak tour.

Best place if you're new to kayaking - Me and my friends (total 3) were new to kayaking and also don't have much swimming experience. The instructor was very understanding and made sure we were comfortable with the water around us, and made us do some training exercises as it was our first time kayaking, and guided us along the beautiful archipelago. I would totally recommend this place. We would definitely visit again for another kayak tour. They provide you with all the necessary safety equipment as well.

Amazing first Kayak experience - We had a lovely tour with Milena. As we were pure beginners she helped us to get comfortable with our kayak. She also accomodated our need for a gluten free fika. We can recomment the tour to anyone who wants to go kayaking for their very first time.
We loved the calm and relaxed atmosphere of the archipelago in winter. Thanks to gloves and drysuit you wont feel cold.
