Common questions (FAQ)

We run the Stockholm Archipelago Sunset Kayak Tour only during the summer months, when the weather is generally pleasant.

Temperatures usually range between 16°C and 28°C. However, since we are paddling in the open ocean, conditions can vary. It is possible to experience wind or occasional rain during the tour, so we recommend coming prepared just in case.

Below is our recommended packing list for the Stockholm Archipelago Sunset Kayak Tour, which should be adjusted based on the actual weather forecast (activity date) and your personal preferences.

Recommended clothing

  • Swim Trunks / Shorts – Long-sleeve Top / T-Shirt
  • Waterproof-Rain Jacket – Baseball Cap
  • Water shoes or sandals (recommended)
  • Gloves: Bicycling or kayak gloves (recommended)

Personal items

  • Insect Repellent – Sunscreen, UV Lip Balm

  • Reusable water bottles, please think eco-friendly!

Remember to check the weather before you pack and adjust your clothing accordingly.

You will step into the ocean when getting in and out of the kayak during our Stockholm Archipelago Kayak Tours, so it can be a bit slippery. We recommend wearing sandals or water shoes for better grip and comfort. That said, you don’t need to buy special gear just for this tour. If you already have something suitable, great. If not, the experience works just fine without water shoes too.

No worries about your luggage. You are welcome to leave larger items like suitcases or travel backpacks at our office. Smaller items can come with you in the kayak and fit nicely into the dry compartments, keeping your essentials safe and dry throughout the tour.

 

The Stockholm Archipelago Sunset Kayak Tour covers around 8 to 10 kilometers, which makes it a light to medium light physical activity. Most of our guests manage the distance without any issues. We keep a relaxed pace, unlike other companies that complete the same distance in just a few hours.

You just need to be in normal health and bring a positive mindset. Our guides are always there to help, though the level of individual support may vary depending on the group size. If needed, we even tow kayaks to ensure everyone has a great experience.

That said, for some participants, it can still be a bit of a workout, especially in the arms. Weather conditions such as wind can also affect how demanding the tour feels.

The likelihood of tipping over during any Stockholm Archipelago Kayak Tours is very low. Our kayaks are designed to be stable and suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers, and the calm waters of our route further minimize the risk.

We provide a thorough briefing before the trip, covering essential paddling techniques and safety measures. Our guides are also on hand to assist and ensure everyone feels confident and secure throughout the journey. While it’s natural to have some concerns, rest assured that tipping over is a rare occurrence. Should it happen, our guides are trained to handle such situations quickly and effectively, ensuring your safety at all times.

Double kayaks rarely tip over; it’s more likely to happen in single kayaks. Therefore, if you’re not an experienced kayaker, please choose a double kayak during the booking process.

When deciding whether to use a single or tandem kayak, consider your experience level and what you’re looking for in your archipelago kayak adventure. We typically provide tandem kayaks by default, as they cater well to various skill levels and promote a shared experience. Tandem kayaks are particularly suitable for beginners or those who prefer the company and added stability that comes with a two-person setup. Additionally, all our kayaks are sea kayaks equipped with a rudder, enhancing steering and control, making them ideal for navigating our coastal waters. If you have a preference for a single kayak, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate your request. This allows us to ensure that everyone has the best possible experience on the water, tailored to their skills and comfort level.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your kids on our Stockholm Archipelago Kayak Tours We love hosting families and make sure our adventures are safe and enjoyable for all ages.

  • Public tours: Minimum age is 12 years
  • Private tours: Suitable for children from 6 years

We use double kayaks, which are ideal for families with younger children. They offer extra stability and let an adult paddle together with a child. Our guides provide clear instructions and support to help everyone feel confident on the water. We have life jackets in all sizes and always take extra care to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable. For the most flexible experience, we recommend booking a private tour for your family.
