Unforgettable views, nice picknick, just a great experience, can only recommend! - Enjoyed a great tour today. The equipment was in perfect shape. Our tour guide was Iben today and she made the trip unforgettable for us. She was super nice and welcomed us warmly. Her professionalism and experience gave us a very safe feeling during the entire trip. As I said to Iben today, water is not my very favorite element but she made me enjoy the experience. The views from the water were breathtaking. The fika was very nice, thanks for bringing the vegan spread that was awesome and also very yummy by the way! We had a fun group today, very much enjoyed the trip. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat and can only 100% recommend this company!

Highly recommended, a great kayaking experience - The guided kayak tour through the fascinating Archipelago with passionate expert Milena was a highlight, such joy and informative.
High quality equipment is provided.
Super friendly Milena knows the area very well, the paddling was relaxed through her guidance, with great technical tips and choosing a route according to the wind saves a lot of power. Including traditional "Fika" coffee break with cake.
Glady again!

Absolutely amazing!! - The owners are super friendly and accommodating, and know the archipelago very well as they are passionate sea kayakers themselves! They provided us with all the gear we needed, maps, suggestions, and the latest wildlife sightings around the area :) Ended the trip with a refreshing sauna. Strongly recommend coming here to explore the beautiful islands! We’ll definitely come back! —Taylor and Adam
