The story about the tour
With approximately one-third of the city of Stockholm being made up of water, it’s no wonder that
many activities revolve around it. Spend a day like a local and enjoy a day in the Stockholm
Archipelago, leaving the bustling city behind for the refreshing nature on our Stockholm
Archipelago Adventure: Archipelago Fishing & Vaxholm Day Trip.
Start your day trip by hopping on one of the public ferries to the archipelago destination of
Vaxholm, approximately one hour away. Once you arrive in Vaxholm, known as the capital of the
Stockholm archipelago, meet your certified fishing guide who will take you out on a four-hour
fishing adventure. You’ll be equipped with high-quality fishing gear as you search for some of the
common fish in the area, such as sea trout, northern pike, perch and perch pike. Hopefully, you’ll
catch some too!
When you’re feeling a bit peckish, snacks and beverages are available as part of the experience,
so you’ll have the energy to keep on catching those fish. When the four hours are up, you’ll return
to Vaxholm and have some free time to enjoy the quaint archipelago town. There are excellent
local places to get a bite to eat, cute shops and historical buildings to be discovered. Stroll
through town or if you’re interested, hop on the ferry to the fortress. Built in the 1500s, Vaxholm
Fortress was a strategic installation, built to protect the entrance to Stockholm and today, is a
landmark of the area.
Once you’ve enjoyed some relaxing free time it’s time to jump back on the ferry to Stockholm. Sit
back and admire the picturesque journey, passing islands and summer houses. Be greeted by the
stunning view of Stockholm as you arrive back in the city, after your day of fun on our Stockholm
Archipelago Adventure: Archipelago Fishing & Vaxholm Day Trip.
Please note: The fishing guide meets the guests in Vaxholm. The journey to and from Vaxholm is
unescorted. The guests will make their own way to and from the ferry to and from Vaxholm.
