Belka experience - Great experience. lucky because I found a sunny day and hot water. It is easy even for beginners. A new way to see the city from the water by paddling. There are small stops where the Guide explains the highlights. If you do not want to get wet I would recommend accepting the cover offered.

Fun, Amazing Kayak trip in Stockholm - Kayaking in the canals and waters around Stockholm was amazing. The dock was pretty easy to find. The tour guide was fabulous. The trip takes you through lovely canals around Stockholm and across one large waterway. It is a great way to see the city and learn a bit about the history. There are plenty of places where we paused to learn about a site and/or history, so the kayaking was not too strenuous. A great way to spend a lovely couple of hours with a friend or family member.

Great experience. Philippa was a wonderful guide! - Seeing the city from the water was a fantastic experience. The tour operator, Stockholm adventures, is a well organized and professional company and I would recommend this and any of their other activities. Our guide, Philippa, was wonderful. She is knowledgeable, friendly and was very patient and encouraging of those of us who were not the strongest kayakers. You would be lucky to have her as your guide if you decide to sign up for this activity.

Great first time kayaking - Oline was a wonderful guide! It was my first time kayaking and she was very patient as the whole group learned what we needed to do. It was a windy day but it just made the experience more adventurous. It’s a really unique way to see the main sites of Stockholm and would definitely recommend, even for first time kayakers like me!

A must do in Stockholm - The kayaks were in excellent condition, and our group size was only 10 people, allowing you to ask questions and have pleasant conversations. Our guide was incredibly informative, pleasant, and made the entire experience a one of a kind afternoon!
