Stockholm Archipelago Boat Tour
Description
Hop aboard and set sail from the heart of Stockholm into the breathtaking Stockholm Archipelago. Leave the busy city centre behind and watch as the urban landscape gradually transforms into a peaceful landscape of sparkling waterways, charming summer houses, and rugged rocky shores. This 2-hour boat tour offers the perfect introduction to this unique island world. Along the way, your English-speaking guide will share fascinating stories about the surrounding sights, the history of the archipelago, the boat itself, the Swedish royal family, local traditions, and much more. The boat also has a bar on board, where you can purchase drinks and snacks while taking in the panoramic views. The tour departs from in front of the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan. Look for the Stockholm RED Sightseeing tour kiosk next to the Gustav III Statue, where your journey into the archipelago begins. As the tour runs once a day, we recommend booking in advance to secure your spot.

Very pleasant and informative tour of the archipelago. We had a great weather day so that helped a lot,
Name of company and boat to look for. Have restrooms on board and nice bar with snacks and blankets in case it gets to chill outside.
Even with a little rain, it was a fun and interesting tour. The tour guide was excellent. Informative and fun.
This was nice to do. The city is gorgeous anyways but it's a great way to see the city and just sit back and enjoy. Would recommend
A nice ride around the archipelago

You depart near the royal palace with a comfortable motorboat. The route winds through the various islands of the Swedish archipelago and lasts two hours. Valid and well organized.

It was lovely. My only complaint is that there were not enough seats for everyone outside. So I spent much of the trip standing up on deck. There were plenty of seats in the cabin. However, it was a very interesting little cruise and I would recommend it.

We had a beautiful day and enjoyed the commentary. Passengers standing on the top deck blocked the view. Maybe everyone should be seated.

Very nice cruise, the guide provided lots of interesting information. It was very relaxing. Very friendly staff. Departure and arrival time was sharp on time
The tour guide was a very nice Spanish lady who spoke quite good English and provided quite a lot of information about the archipelago. The boat was comfortable and enclosed, so that light rain was not an issue relaxing way to spend a couple of hours.
