Tours and Activities

We offer a variety of outdoor experiences, including city kayak tours, archipelago kayaking, hiking tours, and multi-day adventures in the Stockholm region. For more specific details, visit the individual activity pages.

Most of our tours are designed for beginners or those with moderate fitness levels. For example, the city kayak tours are suitable for first-timers, while multi-day kayak trips might require a bit more stamina. Details about fitness levels can be found on each activity page.

No prior experience is necessary for most of our tours. Both our city and archipelago kayaking tours and our hiking tours are beginner-friendly. Our guides will provide a safety briefing, instructions, and support to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Please be on time, as we need to respect the schedule of other guests. If you are late, we will wait for a few minutes, but we may need to start the activity as planned to keep the schedule. Unfortunately, no refunds will be given to latecomers.

Gear and Equipment

Archipelago Kayaking
We do not have dedicated storage for larger luggage (such as suitcases). You can take smaller backpacks (daypacks) into the kayak's dry compartment.

Alternatively, you can use luggage storage providers in Stockholm, such as
Luggage Hero T-Centralen.

City Kayaking:
You can store belongings at the kayak station, but we do not take responsibility for the luggage itself. Please bring valuables into the kayak (dry compartment or dry bag).

We provide all necessary gear for our guided outdoor activities. For multi-day trips, we also provide the necessary camping equipment. You just need to show up with suitable clothing.

Public car parking is available at all starting points. Please note that you will need to pay for parking yourself, and it's recommended to download a parking/payment app, such as EasyPark, in advance.

Weather and Safety

We monitor the weather closely, and tours are designed to proceed safely in a variety of conditions. Rain isn't considered bad weather for us, and tours will not be canceled because of it. However, we will cancel or reschedule in the case of strong winds that make kayaking unsafe, or occasionally when hiking in the forest. In the rare case of extreme weather, if it's unsafe to continue, we may offer a refund or reschedule your tour.

Yes, many of our tours are family-friendly, but it depends on the specific activity. For kayak tours, children aged 12 and older are welcome, but check the specific tour details for any age restrictions. Private tours, however, have no age restrictions, allowing families with younger children to join.

Sustainability and Food

We offer a variety of meal options tailored to dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices. We emphasize fresh, locally sourced, and eco-friendly ingredients to create meals that not only meet dietary needs but also reflect our commitment to sustainability.

Yes, sustainability is at the core of our approach. We focus on minimizing our environmental footprint by running small group tours, using public transportation whenever possible, and adopting eco-friendly practices. From waste reduction to respecting local ecosystems, we ensure that our activities align with environmentally conscious standards.

Special Services

Yes, we offer kayak rentals in partnership with Lek Mer and camping equipment rentals for those looking to explore the Stockholm archipelago on their own.

Pets are generally not allowed on our kayaking or hiking tours, but contact us in advance if you have a specific request.

At STOCKHOLM NATURE, we take pride in delivering the best possible experience. We offer a money-back satisfaction guarantee for our tours. If you're unsatisfied with your experience, please inform your guide directly after the tour. We take customer feedback seriously and will work toward a solution. If the complaint is based on common reasoning, we will refund you in full within 6–10 days. Note that complaints unrelated to common sense (e.g., booking a kayak tour and not enjoying kayaking) will not qualify for a refund.

A tip of 10% of the booking price is a good guideline if you are happy with the service.
