See Stockholm from a fresh angle on a small-group kayaking tour through its central waterways. Paddle past landmarks like City Hall, Gamla Stan, and Riddarholmen Kyrka, with gear and guidance included for a smooth, beginner-friendly experience.

Details

Meet your guide and small group at the designated time and location for a short safety briefing and orientation on dry land. You’ll launch from one of Stockholm’s most protected bays, where you can practice your paddling technique before the main route. Feel free to ask your guide any questions—their role is to support your comfort and safety.

Once ready, paddle out into the city’s waterways and admire a mix of modern and vintage architecture along the way. You’ll see landmarks including City Hall, the medieval neighborhood of Gamla Stan, and vibrant areas like Södermalm, plus more. After two hours of exploring one of Scandinavia’s most dynamic cities by water, you’ll return to your departure point.

The trip was the perfect length of time for our family. My arms were just getting tired when we were done. We had experienced and new people in our group. The guide was so good at helping new people kayak. He paced the trip to match the mixed abilities. We learned a lot and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the water.

kayak tour is the best way to see Stockholm ! You can really appreciate how the canals make up the heart of the city . Matej was the best guide, super friendly and patient, making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun and keeping pace. Loved hearing all the stories Matej told about the history of Stockholm. Got plenty of great photos as well as a light morning workout. An excellent tour even with overcast clouds - I imagine all that much better with the sun shining ! Thanks again Matej and Stockholm adventures!

We had a great time doing the city kayak tour today.. Fun memories made. It takes a moment to tune into the paddling and steering with your kayak partner but once we had it there was no stopping us :) Misael is a friendly and patient guide. We’d recommend this for anyone looking to add something a little different to their city break!

Today proved to be an excellent day to kayak with this company. We had the opportunity to make it around the island and back, due to favourable conditions. Learned much about the city during the tour. It was a great way to see the city from its lakes and rivers!

Fun way to see some sites around Stockholm and enjoy some time on the water. We had a great guide who told us about the sites once we got to them in the kayaks. Be ready to put in some effort- the kayaking requires significant paddling for a few hours- was very fun and a great way to see some great parts of Stockholm. We really enjoyed it.

Our guide was amazing! His instructions were clear and delivered with a sense of humor. He stopped along the way to tell us tales of Stockholm history. Not dry mind you…did anyone know Absolute Vodka was started in Stockholm….we traveled on waterways that wooden boats from the 1920’s were moored at.
