Below is our recommended packing list for your Stockholm Archipelago day trip excursion, which should be adjusted based on the actual weather forecast (activity date) and your personal preferences.
PADDLING CLOTHING
Remember to check the weather before you pack and adjust your clothing accordingly.
Please note that you will step into the ocean during the Stockholm Archipelago day trip, while entering and exiting the kayak. We recommend some kind of sandals or water shoes, as it can get slippery. There are many cheap options in stores like XXL or Decathlon available. However, don’t feel the need to buy water shoes just for this experience if you don’t plan to use them again. Our kayaking adventure works just fine without water shoes as well!
No disponemos de espacio específico para guardar equipaje de gran tamaño (maletas, por ejemplo). Sin embargo, puede llevar mochilas más pequeñas directamente en el kayak (compartimento seco). De lo contrario, le recomendamos que utilice uno de los proveedores de maleteros de Estocolmo.

When deciding whether to use a single or tandem kayak, consider your experience level and what you’re looking for in your Stockholm Archipelago day trip 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.
