"Swedes, on the whole, love a little sport in the water and kayaking is an agreeable way to see the city from a new perspective. Companies such as Stockholm Adventures offer two-hour guided tours around the harbour in two-seaters, starting at Djurgårdsbron, the bridge connecting Östermalm and Djurgården. If you’re feeling lazy, however, fear not. The many islands prevent stronger currents or riptides from holding sway or swell, allowing paddlers to enjoy smooth sailing all round. It’s worth heading out to the archipelago too. The pristine waters surrounding the island of Runmarö, an hour-long ferry ride from the capital, are a popular destination for day-long kayaking trips. The hardier can opt for a three-day jaunt, complete with camping on the remote isle."

On thin ice: Stockholm's long-distance skaters brave the elements - SilverKris

"Run by Joakim Malm, this Stockholm-based guiding operation fields about 25 guides who lead everyone from complete beginners to experienced skaters out onto Mälaren and into the archipelago; the beginner trips prioritize a one-of-a-kind, emotional experience over distance or speed, and guides regularly witness strong reactions — wet eyes and hugs — when newcomers encounter wide, silent expanses of natural ice." - Richard Orange

The Three Day Ice Adventure was the trip of a lifetime! We were fortunate to have amazing conditions, stretching kilometers of black ice, sunshine, and even some snow. Combining that with some wonderful travel companions made for an overall fulfilling and beautiful experience. The guides were true masters of their element and a pleasure to talk with both about skating as well as life. While I cannot say conditions each year will be as good as what we experienced, I would recommend this trip to any and all who wish to get onto the ice for a little adventure. Thank you!

We did "Introduction to Nordic ice skating". Short: exceeded all expectations we had or might have had, superb, 5/5 will definitely go again. Long: as someone who does a lot of outdoor sports, including offroad motorsport racing, camping, skiing etc. I felt both appropriately cared for and challenged at the same time. The tour was prepared with everything we might need, the scenery was great as expected from Sweden. We felt completely safe through the comprehensive guidance on equipment and technique which really helps to put open-ice skating in perspective, compared to skating on a closed rink. The guides were really accommodating with every possible need and made sure everyone was having a great time. For someone moderately experienced with figure skating, the introduction was more than enough to get properly tired and satisfied, but I definitely plan to go back for more.

I did the Södermalm Island e-bike tour with Samma. It was very interesting and a great tour. Samma was a very patient and knowledgeable guide, patiently answering our questions. She showed highlights of the island, choosing really unique spots. It was also very nice to get out of Stockholm proper and see the hipster island of Södermalm! Thanks Samma! P.S. I have seen posts asking about doing these tours alone. Absolutely, do it! I went by myself for two bike tours with Stockholm Adventures and loved both.

We booked a skating tour as a group of six people. The tour was perfectly tailored to the participants and highly recommended. Everything was explained in detail and we felt safe at all times. Special thanks go to our tour guide Anders, who made the tour a great experience.

Excellent guiding from Lucas who handled our group of 16 with care and attention. The tour was excellent and during our 3 hours of cycling (we covered about 7 miles) there was lots of information about the city combined with pleasant, not too challenging, cycling. It’s a great way to see and learn plenty. The bikes are easy to use and are well maintained. Cycle helmets are provided and rules of the road clearly explained. Thoroughly recommended.

Experiencing Stockholm's history from two wheels was truly unforgettable. The guided bike tour offered by Stockholm Adventures was nothing short of excellent – informative, engaging, and perfectly paced. Riding through the city gave us a unique perspective on Stockholm’s rich and layered past. You we got to see the highlights and hidden corners alike. The guide brought the city’s stories to life, weaving together centuries of history with fascinating insights and local anecdotes. Being on a bike allowed us to cover more ground than on foot, yet still move slowly enough to really absorb each place we visited. Every stop felt meaningful – from royal landmarks to quiet backstreets – and the experience as a whole felt both energizing and enriching. A huge thank-you to Stockholm Adventures for such a well-organized and inspiring tour. Whether you're new to the city or have lived here for years, seeing Stockholm’s history by bike is something I’d highly recommend

We rented a two-person kayak for 4 hours to explore Stockholm's canals and it was wonderful. We also rented bikes for 24h and were very satisfied. The staff was very nice and helpful all along the way, at the headquarters and at the pier.

I would recommend the bike-tour to people on their first few days in Stockholm. The earlier, the better, it really gives you an idea about the interesting things in the city and what you might want to discover on a deeper level. Not only did we see Stockholms most important parts, we also learned many things. Even though he had to improvise a little bit due to a Marathon that crossed our route, Stephen kept his good sense of humour. He also had many funny anecdotes to share. Overall a great experience!
