You either arrive to Stockholm in the morning or you wake up at your hotel for a nice breakfast. At around 9.30 you begin your journey from Stockholm city by car, cab or public transport out to the Kayak Center at Stavsnäs, Värmdö. The bus departs from Slussen bus terminal, takes about 60 minutes and cost about 4 EUR.

Upon arrival at the Stavsnäs Kayak Center you will be welcomed by our certified wilderness and kayak guide who will be preparing you for your self-guided 3-Day Kayak Tour Experience. With a beverage and snack, you sit down together and talk about the kayaks, the camping gear, the suggested route and all the nice places to visit. The guide will also introduce you to kayak safety, how to travel sustainably and take care of nature, wildlife protection, “Dos and Don’ts” as well as other practical matters. The guide will show you how to pack the kayak and get everything ready for departure. There will be plenty of time to ask all your questions. Time for take-off! After eating some lunch, in stable two-person kayaks you will venture out on the water to start your self-guided Kayak Tour Experience. With the wind in your hair, sea birds and waves are soon the only sounds you hear while you make your way towards the smaller uninhabited islands further out. The exploration has begun!

In the afternoon, it is time to start looking for a good place to camp for the night. Using the advice given by your guide before departure, you soon find your own little island with a spot you can call your own for the evening. Perhaps you will end up in the beautiful Bullerö Nature Reserve. After a refreshing swim and preparing the tent, it is dinner time. Cooking the food you have brought is easy on the cooking stove provided, and food taste fantastic when you eat in nature. Let the waves and wind put you to sleep.
