”Having done a few kayak trips around the world, this is by far the best. Highly recommended! Our guide Pierre took the time to check what we wanted to get out of the trip, and delivered exactly that – a relaxing and enjoyable paddle around some beautiful islands, some great camping, and just the right amount of time on the water to suit the group. Everything was taken care of in a thoughtful and well-planned way, including firewood in case we couldn’t collect enough ourselves, extra sleeping bags for everyone in case the September night was cooler, and more than enough food. Pierre kept a relaxed but close eye on us, and hit exactly the right balance between tips and instruction, and letting us explore a little ourselves. Finally, the efficiency of the booking and advance info from Pieter and team all delivered on expectation on the day. Overall a great trip!”

”Ben our guide was excellent in finding out what we wanted, showing us what to do and looking after us in general. We did some great kayaking, taking in amazing views, stopping for coffee and breaks and short hikes. We jumped off cliffs into rock pools, ate wild salad as well as sun bathing. By the time we reached our camping island we were ready to stop. We set up camp, watched the sunset, swapped stories around an open fire and enjoyed Ben’s cooking. The archipelago is beautiful and peaceful. The guiding was of the highest order and the firm a pleasure to deal with. They coped with our dietary requirements without a fuss. Green Trails offer a very special experience and we look forward to using them again.”

”Where should I start? These people are amazing, I have traveled to more than 10 countries before and did all kind of activities but this one tops everything. Starting from the idea, you get a chance of camp with professionals and do a 3 days kayaking! Pieter and Pierre are professionals in dealing with every situation, and so kind and friendly, the actually treated us as friends from the second we met and provided the best service! They speak fluent English, very well trained in camping, tour planning etc.. They are flexible and always made all the plans to fit our best interests. They provided us with the best food experience also! I loved every second and if there is any chance that I can give them 6 starts out 5 I wouldn’t hesitate 
Thank you Guys! Greetings from Me and the others”

 What to see?

Environment:  You can expect a varying scenery consisting of forest covered mainland, mazes of rocky islands, crossings of open sea and hidden bays to relax. Beautiful sunsets during an after-dinner sunset-paddle, and waters smooth as mirrors during early mornings.

Wildlife: The most spectacular bird on this kayak tour is without a doubt the white tailed eagle. Other spectacular wildlife are ospreys, swimming deer that we sometimes encounter, moving from island to island, curious seals, and a large amount of other bird life.

 

 Kayak tour Stockholm: in depth info (no time? check itinerary)

Day one: After going through all of the gear, maps and techniques we set out on our multiple day kayak tour. We start off in a sheltered bay, paddling between two cliffs to avoid head wind and waves to get the hang of it. We stay close to the shore, and after some hours it's time for lunch. After a short hike to a viewpoint, we can see many of the islands that we will visit during the following days. We continue paddling and move towards the island groups. Maybe we'll even spot some swimming deer! During late afternoon / early evening we make camp and enjoy the rhythmical sound of the sea, birds and the absence of everything else. We enjoy a campfire meal which we prepare together. Later we share stories, but not before taking out the kayaks one more time to experience the sunset from the water!

Day two: Rise and shine for yet another day of adventure! After a healthy breakfast we eagerly set out once again. We cross a short stretch of open sea and arrive to yet another group of islands. The ever changing environment never seems to bore. On the way we meet swans, white tailed eagles and more curious birds. We pick any island for lunch and do the same in the evening if it's a three day kayak tour. We can fish, swim, nap or just hang around camp before hitting the sheets (or sleeping bags) once more.

Optional, day three: The 3-day trip means that we spend the 2nd day completely outdoors, something you don't experience on the 2-day trip: no transfers, meeting points, restaurant meals or hotels. Instead we wake up & go to sleep by the sound of the sea. We enjoy all of our meals in nature using different outdoor cooking techniques. Of course, we don't paddle the same way back but explore new areas instead, returning to the starting point from a different direction. Once we've unpacked our belongings we drop you off in Stockholm, and leave you with memories for a lifetime.
