2.Winter Kayaking, Swedish Fika and hot Sauna Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 156 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $160Top rated

You’ll paddle a sea kayak through the winter waters near Vaxholm, often passing ice and channels toward Vaxholm Fortress. Guides such as Sam, Jules, Rowan, Karl, and Theresa coach beginners with calm safety briefings. Dry suits keep you warm, while coffee, fika, sauna access, and an optional Baltic plunge complete this three-hour outing.

“Great time out on the water with a leisurely paddle around the area. The water was iced over in places so it was fun to "ice break" through with your kayak. You get fully suited up in dry gear which was comfortable and 100% dry. A little fika break was nice. Then once you put away your kayak, you can get naked with your group for the cold plunge and sauna. Not as scary as it sounds. The cold part. Europeans love getting naked so that was just fun. Make a friend or two, go for it!”
