What To Expect
What about having a dinner on an island and arriving there with your kayak, 10 minutes walk from the tube station Hornstull.
We will start from Stockholm Långholmen Island at 18.00 and paddle one hour before having a dinner break on a very nice place. Enjoy the sunset or have a swim in the water while your guide is grilling the sausages. We’ll then get back to paddling and make our way back to the starting point.
On the way you will see Stockholm and notice the special colours that the old buildings take when the sun is setting this very special Scandinavian light on them. The colours reflect also on the water and makes the experience very unique. You are in a city center but it feels like being in the countryside. Indeed Stockholm has the reputation of being a very green city and yes it is true. Trees all along the cost, migratory birds hanging around or even fisherman trying to catch big are all present all summer.

Oscar led a great tour
murnere, 07-09-2022
The kayaking was beautiful and easy. Oscar was our guide and he guided, but also gave us our space. Oscar pointed out several areas of interest and was very informative.
Once the kayaking was over Oscar prepared an impressive meal with only a fold-out grill. Our entire group, 8 of us from Kentucky,USA, were glad to have met Oscar and have him as our guide. Oscar even took time to teach me a skill I hope I can master.
The next day we received an email with several pictures that Oscar had taken along the way. It is this kind of “above and beyond” customer service that makes it easy for me to give a 5 star review to that company (and their guide).

Oscar was a wonderful guide for our sunset kayaking adventure. He was energetic, congenial and helpful. The weather was perfect and the grilled dinner just right.
Kayak autour d’une île en soirée

Très belle expérience de kayak autour d’une île de Stockholm ! Guide très sympa et attentif ! Le barbecue était copieux !
Possibly better than sitting at home

We didn’t have a BAD time, per se, but we probably could have had a better time on our own.
For one: it is difficult for a group to kayak around Stockholm’s islands because the waterways are narrow and boat traffic is unpredictable/wake-inducing. Our group was constantly bumping into each other trying to avoid the boats without running aground.
Next: dinner is more of a snack and I’m pretty sure everyone left hungry. My partner and I actually hit up McDonald’s after we left. Also, there is nothing to drink except for coffee, which the guide forgot to offer us until the very end. Fortunately, a few of us brought our own water bottles. It was one of the hottest days of the year!
The price is typical for a kayak excursion in a city like this, but the paddles usually last longer than 30 minutes. This one didn’t. And yet they were still charging 20 SK to rent dry bags, which honestly should be free.
The description says we are to kayak “to an island” for dinner, but we just kayaked back to our starting point and ate on a beach nearby. We were offered the use of a WC, which was a porta-potty covered in graffiti with no hand soap inside.
Directions are unclear, as well. Just use Google maps and type in their general address, then stop off at the first kayak place you see - which is NOT branded with this company’s logo. We thought we were in the wrong place, especially since they lost our reservation, but I ended up catching a glimpse of my name on their iPad which saved us from additional wandering.
On the plus side, Oscar was a delight. He answered all of our questions and told us all kinds of fun stories about life in Sweden. He even taught us a Swedish drinking song that we now use when we pound aquavit. So there’s that.
Until TNS makes this a better experience, save your money and rent a kayak on your own. Pack some food and drinks in a backpack and paddle up to whatever island speaks to you that evening. That’s a pretty Swedish thing to do.
