    Absolute must do in Stockholm!

    Had an amazing morning! Emil was fantastic! Kayaking and breaking thin ice in some spots added to the charm of this whole experience. I'll remember for a long time! And it is extremely safe if that's a worry!

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for joining and for the great feedback. Sounds like you got one of those special winter mornings with just the right amount of ice. Emil will be glad to hear this. Happy you felt safe and had a memorable time out on the water. Hope to see you again on another adventure.

    Breaking the ice

    Wonderful way to see Stockholm from a different angle. We were lucky to have had a beautiful day with clear skies . Cold but the dry suits keep you warm and dry . Breaking ice was an experience and hard work at times but great fun. Emile , our guide was warm and knowledgable . Would really recommend this experience . D&N London

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the kind words. Sounds like you got one of those perfect winter days. Breaking ice definitely adds a special twist to the experience. Emil will be happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and felt well taken care of. Great having you with us and thanks again for the recommendation.

    Great option for seeing the sights of Gamla Stan from an alternative perspective

    Viewing Gamla Stan from the water gave a great alternative perspective of the main sights. Our guide, Bobby, was really informative and provided clear instructions to help keep us safe on the water. We even had the opportunity to kayak through some ice sheets. Definitely bring waterproof gloves and wrap up warm!

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for joining and for the great feedback. Seeing Gamla Stan from the water really gives a whole different feel and it is nice to hear you enjoyed it. Bobby will be happy to know his guidance helped you feel safe out there. Good tip about the gloves too. Hope the rest of your time in Stockholm was just as fun.

    Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.

    How much does Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stockholm is not rushed.

    Is Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking)?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stockholm can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Winter Kayak Tour in Stockholm City (Dry Suit Kayaking) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stockholm within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Stockholm?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Stockholm?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Stockholm?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
