“Loved the trip. Patrick was the guide and he was very helpful and patient. I think we kayaked for 12-13 km and had a short hiking trip as well on one of the island. The weather was very good and taking a halt at the sandy beach was a cherry on top. We enjoyed the vegetarian lunch and fika was also very good. It was a great experience overall, would definitely do it again with other friends. P.S: The trivia told by Patrick was also very interesting and thanks for the driving tips :)”

“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.”
