ARCHIPELAGO SEA KAYAK ADVENTURE - Camping

Enjoy a 3-day archipelago adventure, just north of Stockholm, where you'll experience a different world in the heart of Roslagen Archipelago. Start from Västernäs in the island of Rådmansö and paddle in the exciting borderland of the inner and outer archipelago. The unique environment in this region is protected as a nature preserve and the islands are rich in history and culture. The pace is calm so that you can really enjoy the paddling and the wonderful atmosphere this region offers. Small groups of up to 12 people makes this experience unforgettable for both beginners and advanced kayakers alike.

Is it for me?
This trip is rated intermediate. Prior kayaking experience is good to have, but not required. You paddle between 10 and 15 kilometers per day and spend 2 nights camping on the islands. In order to enjoy your trip to the fullest extent, it’s great to work on your upper body strength prior to departure. This is a great adventure for those of you looking to add some activity to your Stockholm visit.

"Great experience – Angel was very capable and knowledgeable. Left to myself, I probably would have liked to cover a bit more ground, but compromises are part of the group experience...Great campsites; having my own tent was a luxury...Excellent food – liked the efforts to incorporate typical swedish dishes, and everyone I’ve talked to about the trip was impressed by the tale of the support launch appearing with the smoked sik! (Mind you, real coffee at breakfast would have been a plus, but then I forgot to mention caffeine addiction in the medical info!). Really pleased I signed up for the trip – best of luck for your future expeditions."
