Sea Kayaking in the Stockholm Archipelago from Graddo

This outing is if you would like a shorter and more intense kayaking course then the operator's Beginners course. Your instructor will go through the basics of paddling and then you will have the kayak for the rest of the afternoon to continue practicing the techniques or just have a good look around our beautiful area. Please note that this course will not cover the Buddy-rescue.

You will start on land at 9:30am with some theory about the kayaks and kayaking. After that, the group will go out on the water and try the different techniques and practice the most basic ones. Around 12:30pm, you will be back on shore again and have a small evaluation. After that, you will have the kayak for yourself until 5pm.

The course includes both theoretical and practical exercises.

– How to get in and out of the kayak safely
