About this experience
Take off on an exhilarating journey around Stockholm’s waterways on this unforgettable 2-hour RIB (rigid-inflatable boat) cruise with a Swedish Fika break! You will receive a lifejacket and waterproof gear, and then you will be ready to hold on tight for a high-speed ride, passing towards Stockholm’s idyllic archipelago. Feel your adrenaline pulse and the wind in your hair as you whizz towards the open Baltic Sea. Then, admire the lush green islands, wooden villages and majestic Vaxholm Fortress in the archipelago before your boat returns to port. You will stop in the middle of the tour to get your breath back and enjoy a traditional Swedish fika (soft drink and sweet pastry). While you enjoy the sweat treat, your captain will tell you all about the uniqueness of the Stockholm archipelago, before turning back to the city.
