🤔 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need prior paddling experience to book this package?
No, you don’t need to be an expert, but we strongly recommend that you have tried kayaking at least once before if you plan to embark on a multi-day trip. We have kayaks suitable for all levels, including stable models for beginners.
Recommendation: If you feel unsure, we suggest starting with the 2–3 day package on Lake Mälaren.
Safety: We always provide a thorough safety briefing before you launch.
Where can I camp when paddling on Lake Mälaren?
That’s the best part! Thanks to the Swedish Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten), you are allowed to camp almost anywhere, provided you show respect to nature and landowners. Lake Mälaren is full of uninhabited islands where you can set up camp for the night. The golden rule is simple: Do not disturb, do not destroy.

Tip: Add dry bags to your booking to make it easier to organize your packing and keep your gear bone-dry.
Is it difficult to paddle from Lake Mälaren to the Stockholm Archipelago?
It is a fantastic experience, but it requires a bit of planning. The route takes you through central Stockholm and involves a simple passage through the Hammarby Lock (Hammarbyslussen).
Recommendation: We recommend this route for the 7-day package and for paddlers with some prior experience, as you will be crossing areas with boat traffic. We provide all the necessary information and charts for the trip.

ou need to bring your own food, drinks, and clothing suitable for the weather, as well as personal toiletries.
Don’t worry: We will send you a recommended packing list immediately after you book! 📝

Your safety is our top priority. As experts on paddling in Stockholm, we constantly monitor the weather forecast. If we assess that the weather is unsuitable for paddling (e.g., during thunderstorms or storm-force winds), we will help you reschedule your adventure to another date, completely free of charge. ⛈️
