🤔 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need prior paddling experience to rent this package?
No, you don’t need to be an expert, but we recommend that you have tried paddling a Sea Kayak at least once before setting out on a multi-day tour. We have Sea Kayaks for all types of paddlers, including beginners. For those who are unsure, we recommend the 2-3 day package on Lake Mälaren. We always provide a thorough safety briefing before departure.
Where are you allowed to camp when paddling on Lake Mälaren?
That is the best part of all! Thanks to the Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten), you can camp virtually anywhere you like, as long as you show respect for nature and landowners. Lake Mälaren is full of uninhabited islands where you can set up camp for the night. The rule is simple: do not disturb, do not destroy. We are happy to help you with tips on beautiful camping spots.
How much food and gear can you fit in the sea kayak?
More than you think! Our sea kayaks are designed for overnight tours and feature spacious, waterproof bulkheads (storage compartments). You can easily fit food and personal gear for 2-7 days. Choose to add waterproof drybags to make it easy to organize and keep your equipment dry.
Is it difficult to paddle from Lake Mälaren to the Stockholm archipelago?
It is a fantastic experience that requires a bit of planning. The route passes through central Stockholm and involves a simple lock passage at Hammarbyslussen. We recommend this option for those booking the 7-day package who have some paddling experience, as you will cross some busy waters. We provide you with all the information and maps you need for the tour.
What is not included in the package?
You will need to bring your own food, water, weather-appropriate clothing, and personal belongings. We will send a recommended packing list to you after you have booked.
What happens if the weather turns bad (e.g., strong winds)?
Your safety is our top priority. We are experts at sea kayaking in Stockholm and always monitor the weather forecast closely. If we determine that the weather is unsuitable for paddling (e.g., during thunderstorms or gale-force winds), we will help you reschedule your adventure to another date, completely free of charge.
