Beautiful Waterways - Wonderful day on the water with Karl as our guide. The facility and equipment were very good. Just a note that it is not "in" Vaxholm, so you will need to take the bus or taxi to the location. It is only 30 minutes from central Stockholm so it is easy to take a taxi to and from if you pre-arrange. The three hour window was about 90 minutes of actual paddling, so if you want to travel further you should arrange a longer outing.

Family Kayak Trip - We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Louisa was great! She was very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed the trip and the lovely Fika and tasty Swedish food that Louisa prepared for us on one of the Islands. It was lots of fun for the whole family. We highly recommend this trip.

Great way to experience the outdoors in Sweden - My family and I were visiting Stockholm, and decided to take a 3 hour morning kayak tour with our kids and some friends with Skargardens Kanotcenter. We had a fantastic time! Even though it rained, Theresa and Joshua made sure everyone had an amazing, fun and exciting day. We even had a Fika (traditional Swedish coffee break) on a small island, which was a delicious touch that we weren't expecting. After we were finished with the trip, we enjoyed the sauna, which was a great way to end a perfect morning. We will do this again for sure when we are in Stockholm next time!

Don't leave Stockholm without kayaking with Andy and Milena at Vaxholm/Resarö ! Try it, you'll love it - Andy and Milena are very caring and smiling people ! Milena always ensured that we were OK with our dry suits and all the equipments. She was extremely kind and patient when providing us guidance and tips on how to handle the kayak and securing our stuff from water ! We felt ultra safe when paddling with Andy. He always ensured that we were OK in spite of very windy conditions. Andy gave us just enough explanations about the fauna (birds, beavers and son), the local settings when we were paddling. Our son loved the fika and the overall experience. So did we ! Getting to the kayak center from Stockholm by bus is ultra easy. Try it you'll love it !

Don't miss this lovely experience, Company run by awesome people. - Milena and Andy are amazing, fun, and caring people. We did a winter kayak tour and had such a good time. They make it possible for anyone to be able to have a great trip, regardless of experience. Great location to start from and easy access to beautiful islands to kayak around.

The best experience in Archipelagio - We had our best experience in the Archipel thanks to Milena. The place is very easy to access by bus from Stockholm. We were with our 3 kids + suitcases and could let all our belongings on site. Milena was very helpful to explain all the tips to manipulate easily the canoe. We stopped by a very nice spot where the kids could swim for a delightful fika - hot chocolate cannelbullar etc. . Milena is very friendly and we could have a very nice conversation about Sweden culture and food as we are food lovers... We finish the day with a sauna with all the family - According to our kids, It was the best experience we had in Sweden .. ! We recommend highly this Kayak tour.
