Stockholm: Winter Kayaking, Swedish Fika and hot Sauna Experience - How the Timing Works: A 3-Hour Half-Day Outside Central Stockholm

1.Winter Kayaking, Swedish Fika and hot Sauna Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 156 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $160Our pick

Winter sea kayaking near Stockholm with dry suits, Swedish fika, and a hot sauna plus Baltic cold plunge option.

“Great time out on the water with a leisurely paddle around the area. The water was iced over in places so it was fun to "ice break" through with your kayak. You get fully suited up in dry gear which was comfortable and 100% dry. A little fika break was nice. Then once you put away your kayak, you can get naked with your group for the cold plunge and sauna. Not as scary as it sounds. The cold part. Europeans love getting naked so that was just fun. Make a friend or two, go for it!”

“We rode the fat bike through 21 km of woods and lakeside trails. There was some technical parts that require almost a bit of bike experience to face them. We saw magical places and Simas, our tourguide, told us some cultural and historical snippets of Sweden and it was very interesting! After the tour we had a sauna and took a shower to restore our energies, and then Simas offered us a delicious soup of red lentils with a tasting of local dairy products and a cake with forest berries!”

“Alexandra is an exceptional guide! I have so much gratitude that she shared her time with me on a quiet and meditative hike in the woods just a few miles out of Stockholm. I learned about the local fauna and enjoyed a tea break with a view. A visit to a community sauna and ice plunge was restorative and energizing. I particularly enjoyed a shared meal with Alexandra in a cozy cabin that felt quite distant from the usual tourist spots; precisely the experience I was seeking on this trip to Sweden. Above all, Alexandra is an absolute delight; informative, kind, and passionate. I hope to have an opportunity to…”
