Escape Stockholm for a sunset wildlife safari with moose, deer, wild boar, a Swedish midsummer meal, and Viking runestones.

Escape Stockholm for a four-hour evening safari with Swedish food, forest walks, Viking rune stones, and chances to see moose and wild boar.
“Although we didn't see as many wild animals, as we'd hoped for, we still had a lovely time. Chris, our guide, looked after us so well, laying out our midsummer picnic beautifully and informing us about our wild surroundings. He also finished a little bit later, helping us to see a couple of extra things. We did see a moose, briefly, quite a few roe deer, plus a hare or two and a couple of birds of prey. The main thing, was to escape the city, which we did and do something which we'd never have achieved so well on our own. Thank you Chris!”
Review of Stockholm’s Tyresta sunset hike, with forest trails, lake views, Swedish fika, a seasonal meal, and practical planning tips.
“Had an absolutely lovely hike! Tour guide was great, very personable and knowledgeable. Everything went smoothly, and it was nice to get out of the city and see a stunning forest and breathe the fresh air. Had a tasty fika while admiring the sunset. A trip highlight for sure!”
Review of Stockholm’s evening wildlife safari, with deer, moose sightings, forest walks, campfire dinner, fika, binoculars, and practical tips.
“We actually had a run in with a moose! Super exciting and memorable. Saw loads of other animals—wild boar, dozens of deer, and had a very committed young guide. Teriffic walk in the woods. Yucky dinner and no water or wine. Just beer and apple juice. Anyway, it wasn’t about the food.”
Paddle Stockholm’s calm archipelago at sunset, spot wildlife, enjoy Swedish fika, and finish with an optional sauna near the city.
“Incredible activity! We had Theresa as our guide and she was phenomenal — friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The nature in the archipelago is so cool to witness; we saw swans, ducks and even a wild boar in the reeds. Sadly we didn’t spot any beavers, but we did see their dens, which were crazy. We chose to do activity at sunset, and we had fika while parked near a beaver den. This was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to Europe, and I couldn’t recommend it more.”
Paddle Stockholm at sunset, enjoy organic Swedish fika, and see Gamla Stan, Södermalm, and city waterways with a friendly local guide.
“The tour was really, REALLY great! It is a totally different way to explore Stockholm. The lake was surprisingly warm. You can not only see these great places, but be there, feel the water, the sun and the great athmosphere! I worried about my fitness level. But it was fine. Just do it!👍🙂 Thanks to the guide Bobby! He did a great job. Very friendly, nice and welcoming!”
Paddle through central Stockholm at sunset, enjoy Swedish fika by the water, and see the city from a small-group kayak tour.
“Beautiful weather, scenery and knowledgeable guide. We went at a comfortable pace and I learned a lot about Stockholm while seeing it in a new perspective.”
Review of Stockholm’s private sunset kayaking tour, with peaceful archipelago paddling, hotel pickup, Swedish fika, picnic stops, and practical tips.
“It’s hard to put into words how much I deeply enjoyed this experience. It’s not really just about the kayaking. The kayaking is wonderful, but the location and the company takes this to a whole different level. First off, having the guide pick you up and take you home is incredible. Alexandra was kind enough to do that. Secondly, getting to meet and chat with the man responsible for loaning us the kayaks was a huge pleasure. His name is Pierre and the more I learned about him the more I recognized the world would be a better place if there were two of him. And lastly (and most importantly)…”
Review of Stockholm’s private M/Y Gaia yacht tour, with harbor views, drinks, snacks, sunset options, pricing, itinerary, and booking tips.
“We took the boat to my first Swedish Midsommer party ever. It was a fantastic trip with a group of fantastic people, and the boat was the perfect icing on the cake. Went back to the boat with my husband and friends at 4 AM, and slept like a baby. The comfort level of the boat and the beds are just perfect. And then we sailed back to Stockholm the next day. Also a perfect way to experience Swedens beautiful coast lines.”
Review of Stockholm’s sunset kayak and fika tour, with Viking history, wildlife, island views, practical tips, pricing, and booking advice.
“Unreal and incredible experience. The company was very reliable. I booked a group sunset kayak and I was the only person who booked. I was fully expecting to be told the activity would be cancelled but the company persisted with a private guided tour of the archipalego. The weather was incredible the guide Paul was an incredible man. We covered a great amount of distance and passed by many different island. What Paul would usually do in a half day tour we did in a touch over 3 hours given it was just us two. Can't recommend this highly enough. One of the greatest things I've ever done made all…”
Paddle Stockholm at sunset, then enjoy a beach BBQ on LĂĄngholmen Island. A small-group evening kayak trip with city views and flexible plans.
“The setting was beautiful. The directions to the location were not great. The guide was nice, but shared very little information about the city. We were told the BBQ was not allowed due to heat, but the only substitute was sandwiches the guide needed to assemble from his car and we weren’t offered any sort of price deduction. The cost we paid was nearly double the cost posted at the place we got the kayaks and I don’t understand why.”
Review of Stockholm’s Tyresta National Park evening hike, with a campfire meal, Swedish fika, forest trails, lake views, and midnight sun.
“This experience is personalized and unique. Communication was clear and the meet up went well as scheduled. We thoroughly enjoyed our guide’s company and all the preparations she made for an enjoyable outing out of the city.”
Paddle Stockholm at dusk, see City Hall from the water, and enjoy a traditional Swedish Midsummer meal on this small-group kayak tour.
“This was a wonderful tour. Callum was an excellent tour guide. He was informative and very personal. We did this with our 19 and 17 year sons. The sites from the water were amazing and what a great way to see 7 of 14 islands that make up Stockholm.”
