Wonderful, professional - I rented a sea kayak from Skargardens Kanotcenter for a daytrip around the archipelago this summer in July, and it was such a seamless experience. The staff at Skargardens are very knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent insights on what routes to take within the archipelago, which parts to avoid e.g. due to boat traffic. Theresa and Maeli were excellent, attentive and very helpful. Overall, highly recommend visiting if you're looking for a nature adventure near the outskirts of Stockholm. Kudos to the team for keeping such an immaculate and well-stocked place!

Amazing experience - Excellent trip with Florian! The trip was safe, fun and he was a great guide. It was a great workout. All safety precautions are taken and I felt safe at all times. The lunch picnic was so great and Swedish food was excellent. Only thing I would point out is this site is about 30-45 min outside of Stockholm so it's a bit of travel. Uber is not an option out there, but there's a bus station across the street and you can tap-pay the bus with any credit card.

A highlight of our trip to Sweden. - This was a real highlight of our trip to Stockholm. We had a terrific tour of the Archipelago around Vaxholm, with Fika, and very much enjoyed spending time with our guide Linnea. The centre also has a Sauna which we very much enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Highlight of our Trip to Scandinavia - I will never forget this kayak trip for as long as I live. The Outfitters kindly picked us up at the ferry dock and delivered us back when our kayak trip was over. Our guide Linnea was knowledgeable kind and patient with us. I had. I idea these would be sea kayaks on the actual Baltic Sea, but the trips between islands were not long and were very exciting. I would highly recommend this activity. So far it’s been the highlight of our trip to Scandinavia.

Lasting Memories in the Stunning Stockholm Archipelago! - My husband and I recently went on a kayak tour with Skargardens Kanotcenter Kayaks & Outdoor in the stunning Stockholm archipelago, and it was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Jessica, was incredible. The scenery was breathtaking, and we enjoyed a delightful Fika break on a charming little island. The team even took photos for us so we could fully immerse ourselves in the adventure. Although we encountered a fierce storm with hail and lightning on our return, Jessica's professionalism and care ensured our safety and comfort throughout. The tour concluded with a warm, relaxing sauna session. This tour is perfect for both beginners and experts. We are in our mid-fifties and have limited kayaking experience. Highly recommended!

Serene kayak trip through small islands! - Great trip and Max was a great guide! Two- person ocean kayak can be hard to operate the rudder pedals if you have large sneakers on. Should recommend flat shoes or sandals for the person who steers the kayak.
