5-daagse kajak en wildkamp de archipel van Zweden - zelfstandig

We took the train to Norrköping (Interrail) and joined the self-guided kayak trip with Do the North. As an outdoor nerd, I was genuinely impressed: the gear was absolutely top – high functionality, in excellent condition, and clearly chosen by people who know what they're doing. Everything we needed was ready for us when we arrived. The kayaks themselves were easy to handle – stable even in rougher patches of water, and spacious enough to pack some real food (Greek salad and Köttbullar taste even better on a rocky outcrop in the sun). Before setting off, we had a 1-hour briefing plus a guidebook, which gave us all the info we needed to navigate the archipelago confidently and choose safe, comfortable sleeping spots. Once out on the water, we quickly tuned into a slower rhythm. Water in every direction, birds flying overhead – some curious enough to circle us. We even spotted a few seals. Out in the outer archipelago, we watched ospreys glide high above the sea – silent and majestic. This wasn’t just a trip – it was a chance to reset, reconnect with nature, and feel deeply resourced by the simplicity and wildness of the place.

Do the North really have everything taken care of and thought of, both in terms of logistics and equipment. Organising your gear, packing your kayak efficiently, and setting up camp all take a lot of time. However, we got used to it quite fast and it wasn't an issue. The whole experience was just like we imagined. There are very, very few people around, even in peak season. You just come across a few sailing boats, but that's pretty much it. The rest of the time, it's just peaceful, quiet, and you have a true sense of freedom. All in all, an awesome holiday. Thanks guys!!

Thank you so much to the whole team! Helena helped us a lot with organizing everything before the trip, Jonny gave us great and easy to follow introduction when setting off and we have a smooth and fun pick up/transfer back with Ryan. :) The equipment we received was high quality and we had everything we needed! The wildlife and the area itself is absolutely magnificient, you will have a great time! :)
