Stockholm Activities 2012

These activities have been awarded 'Natures Best', Sweden's mark of Eco tourism. They offer some of the best opportunities to get out into the archipelago or witness the proximity of wildlife and nature to the centre of a major city.
Many of the tours are not suitable for children under 12yrs. We can often arrange a more child friendly activity for kayaking and walking. Please ask.
Most transfers to the start point of your activity are self transfers and are easily accessible by an efficient and reliable public transport system, often part of the Stockholm Card. We will of course let you know exactly where the start point is and how to get there. We will advise on what to pack for these activities. All times are approx. Min group size is 2 unless otherwise stated.

Sailing

Archipelago Sail Escape
A sailing escape through one of the worlds most amazing archipelagoes under the guidance of an experienced skipper, who will also act as your guide. Some 24,000 islands make up this archipelago and we haven't counted the Finnish side! A boat is the best way to explore as many islands are uninhabited and the Swedish right of public access allows everyone to explore.
No prior sailing experience is required and you can even make suggestions about where to visit. The weather also plays a part in distance travelled! Our normal day tours start just 15 minutes by commuter train from central Stockholm. From here you will pass the narrow straight of Baggensstäket, with an interesting historical background, the fashionable suburbs of Saltsjöbaden and Älgö before reaching the wilder and uninhabited islands of Ingaröfjärden. Here you can chose one of the islands to take a swim, explore ashore and have lunch. In the end it is the wind and you that decides the program.

Wildlife Safari

Elk, deer, wild boar and hare are just a short bus tour from the city wild animals wander undisturbed through meadows and woodlands in one of Stockholm's most wildlife rich areas. Visit a historical landscape with our expert guides and also see rune stones from the Viking era. This evening bus safari tour lasts 3-4 hours. Time can vary slightly due to animal activity. There is also a short walk (15-20 minutes) to read a rune stone and to see some remnants from the bronze age.
