What To Expect
Escape the city and spend an evening exploring the waterways of Bogesund Nature Reserve by canoe, just 30 minutes from Stockholm. Meet your guide at Skärgårdens Kanotcenter for a short safety briefing before setting off on a relaxed paddle through the Stockholm Archipelago.
After your first stretch on the water, stop on a small island for a freshly prepared BBQ dinner. Take time to enjoy the surroundings before continuing your journey as the evening light begins to fade.
As dusk approaches, paddle through quiet inlets where beavers are most active. Keep an eye on the shoreline and use the provided binoculars to look for beavers, sea eagles, ospreys, grey herons, oystercatchers, and other wildlife. While sightings can never be guaranteed, the peaceful evening paddle through the nature reserve is a memorable experience in itself before returning to the starting point.
