3-Day Self-guided Kayak Weekend Tour
Overview
The self-guided weekend tour is the signature experience of Get Out Kayak in which our wilderness guides help you plan your perfect kayak tour, with everything you need included and with a suggested itinerary tailored to your preferences and to the current weather conditions. You then set out on the tour on your own, with all the knowledge and equipment you need provided by us.
Our guides are carefully selected for their competence and level of service, which is reflected in the kind words of our guests in their reviews. They are all certified wilderness guides with kayak specialization and they all know the archipelago very well.
The Stockholm archipelago is a truly unique place to go kayaking with its tens of thousands of islands. With the Kayak Tour Experience, you can go explore on your own with the comfort of the knowledge, advice and equipment provided by our guides.
