Want the best weekend story to tell your colleagues on a Monday? Join us in Sweden kayaking around stunning islands in the Stockholm Archipelago! Wild camp on a private uninhabited island and explore tranquil coves and rugged nature. No days off work too!

What to expect:

Explore the stunning archipelago by kayak during the day time finding beautiful beaches and coves for lunch breaks and uninhabited islands to camp on during the night. The the archipelago is relatively protected and the paddling shouldn't be too strenuous (we can pair people up accordingly), but you will need to be prepared to leave luxuries of civilisation behind. We will hopefully find a sauna to reward you at the end :)

Itinerary: 

Day 1: Pick up from NYO (Skavsta) airport to meet 11:45 Ryanair flight or arrive the night before. Transfer to starting location to begin paddling late in the afternoon. Set up camp after a few hours of paddling and prepare dinner by the fire followed by a few drinks and games. 

Day 2: Have breakfast and jump back in the kayak to continue exploring the archipelago in search of a nice lunch spot, maybe a game of volleyball or a swim depending on what we come across. Continue paddling into the evening and a well earned dinner and drink by the fire after a long day.

Day 3: Start your day with another healthy breakfast and begin paddling back, hopefully find a sauna and some time to chill before being dropped back at NYO in the evening.
