September isn’t done with the archipelago yet. And neither are we. 🛶

There’s still plenty happening out here — food markets, island weekends, kayaking, cycling, wildlife and those quiet September evenings that make you want to stay outside just a little longer.

But there’s one good reason not to wait too long.

These are the final two weeks of our rental season.

Two more weeks to grab a kayak and disappear for a few days. To find your own island, make your own route, cook outside, sleep under the stars and wake up somewhere new.

After September, the rentals take their winter break until next season.

But we don’t. 😏

Our guided adventures continue through autumn and winter, so there will still be plenty of ways to experience the archipelago with us.

For now, though?

You’ve got two weeks. Make them count.

Save our September guide, grab a kayak or a bike, and go explore.

LATE SUMMER HITS DIFFERENT OUT HERE.

The days are getting shorter, but somehow the evenings are getting better.

Sunset arrives at the perfect time. The air gets cooler. Campfires feel warmer. And when the last light disappears, the sky finally gets dark enough to show off again.

Paddle until sunset.
Cook dinner by the fire.
Stay outside a little longer.
Look up and wait for a shooting star.

Summer isn’t over yet.

It just feels completely different out here now.

And honestly? We might like this version even more. 🌅🔥✨

Funny how three days can stay with you for years.

Three years ago, three friends packed three kayaks and disappeared into the Stockholm Archipelago for a few days.

We had sunshine, rain, fog, perfectly still water and some properly rough crossings. We cooked together, found islands to call home for the night, laughed a lot and woke up each morning ready to see what was waiting around the next corner.

And looking back at these photos now, it’s not really the distance we paddled that we remember.

It’s the dinners in the evening light.
The questionable decisions.
The weather we pushed through.
The places we found by accident.
And having good friends there for all of it.

Three days go by quickly.

The memories don’t.

Vaxholm is better on two wheels. 🚲

Small enough to explore in a day, but packed with little places worth stopping for. So grab a bike, take your time, and save this list for your next visit:

1. Start with a bike
Pick up a regular or electric bike from Skärgårdens Outdoor at Hamngatan 1 and start exploring Vaxholm at your own pace.

2. Visit Vaxholm Fortress
Take the short boat ride across to the historic fortress. Explore the museum, stay overnight, grab something to eat — or simply enjoy one of Vaxholm’s most iconic places.

3. Get lost in old Vaxholm
Slow down and ride through the old quarters around Norrhamnen, filled with colorful wooden houses, tiny streets and plenty of archipelago character.

4. Take a break by the water
Norrbergsbadet and Batteriparken are perfect for slowing down, walking along the waterfront, finding a bench with a view — or taking a Baltic swim if you’re feeling brave.

5. Find Camilles Trädgård
A little garden café hidden among the old streets. Definitely worth getting off the bike for.

6. Fika at Hembygdsgården
Because no proper Swedish day is complete without fika. Come hungry — the famous cake table makes choosing just one dangerously difficult.

7. Lunch at Bistro Magasinet
When it’s time for something more substantial, stop by the harbour for a proper lunch before continuing your ride.

8. Finish with ice cream
Glass på Hörnet. No complicated explanation needed. 🍦

9. And why take the bus when you can take a boat?
Travel between Stockholm and Vaxholm with Waxholmsbolaget and make the journey part of the adventure.

Bike. Explore. Eat. Fika. Swim. Eat again. 😏

Save this for your next day in Vaxholm — and start your adventure at our Bike Rental Hub, Hamngatan 1.

Okay… apparently they really were onto something. 😏

We can tell you about the archipelago, the adventures, our guides and everything we love about being out here — but sometimes it’s better to let the people who actually joined us do the talking.

These are real words from real guests after their adventures with us.

And maybe the next review will be yours?

Come see what everyone’s talking about. 🛶

Apparently, holidays are supposed to include crowded beaches, traffic, room service and a swimming pool.

We may have misunderstood the assignment.

We brought kayaks, tents, food, a few good people and disappeared into 30,000 islands instead.

No check-in. No buffet wristband. No fighting for a sunbed.

Terrible service. Would absolutely recommend.

What is a normal holiday anyway?

Come get lost with us. Link in bio.

Apparently, Sweden can now come with a prescription.

Visit Sweden’s “The Swedish Prescription” is built around a simple idea: more time in nature, movement, fresh air and real breaks from everyday life can be good for your wellbeing.

And we might know a pretty good way to take that prescription.

A few days paddling through the Stockholm Archipelago. Swimming in the Baltic. Cooking outdoors. Camping on wild islands. Waking up somewhere new.

Our guided multi-day tours give you the whole experience — with guides, equipment and everything you need included.

So if your prescription says more Sweden, more nature, less city…

we know where to start. 😏

Only a few spots left this summer.
Check the link in bio and join us in the archipelago.

12/08/2026

We think we’ve found the best way to explore the Stockholm Archipelago. 🛶

A few days of paddling, hidden passages, island lunches, wild camps, dinners in the sunset — and waking up ready to do it all again.

Our last guided multi-day adventures of the summer have only a few spots left:

2-Day Trip — 21 August
3-Day Trips — 21 & 28 August

Small groups, everything you need provided. You just need to show up ready for an adventure. 🌿

Last spots — grab yours through the link in bio.
