Description - What to expect

Start your Stockholm canoeing by preparing and packing your gear and food in dry bags before loading everything in the canoes. When it’s all packed, begin paddling gently alongside the shore of a lake. Canoes are not made to go fast but are very stable and comfortable which makes this adventure family-friendly. After a few hours of paddling on blue-green water, you’ll stop and unpack our canoes.

Pitch the tents and build a fire at a nice wild campsite. The area isn’t populated so no worries of being disturbed. When only the treetops are lit by the setting sun, you’ll head out for a beaver safari or a fishing session. Pikes and perches are fairly easy to catch from the shore. After a good night's sleep in tents, you’ll start the second day with a nice outdoor breakfast including wild blueberries that you just picked.

For the bravest, a dip in the river will be enjoyed. You’ll have time for more adventures such as hiking an easy path to a viewpoint tower from which you can observe the endless forest and explore more lakes with your canoe before your Stockholm Canoeing comes to an end and you are driven back to the city center.
