If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable way to experience Stockholm, this is your tour! As the sun sets over the horizon, you paddle along the waters and have the perfect vantage point to take in the stunning views of the city.

This tour is perfect for beginners and novice paddlers, and the experienced kayak guide will provide safety and paddle introductions before departure.

The tour takes you through some of Stockholm's most historic neighbourhoods, including Langholmen, Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Kungsholmen, and Lila Essingen. You'll paddle under charming bridges, past colourful buildings, and through peaceful waterways.

During the tour, we'll take a traditional Swedish Fika break, featuring organic ingredients. It's the perfect time to relax, refuel, and chat with your fellow paddlers.
