All Inclusive, Kajakpaket (5 dagar, 4 nätter)

Five days paddling the inner reaches of Mälaren, launching from Pampas kajak & SUP at Pampas Marina (Karlbergs strand 6A, 171 73 Solna, Sweden), is a close-to-home escape that feels remote. This all-inclusive kayak-and-camp package supplies a sea kayak or tandem, paddles, PFDs, a two-person dome tent, sleeping kit, stove, navigation tools and a safety briefing—everything you need to head out for four nights on the water. The route options thread through the freshwater archipelago of Mälaren, where glacially scoured granite, sandy beaches and tiny uninhabited skerries form a compact wilderness a short paddle from the city.

Allemansrätten—the Swedish right of public access—means you can camp on most of these islands, and that freedom shapes the itinerary: pick a sheltered bay each night, cook on the provided stove, and wake to the slow light over rock and reed. Look for seals hauled out on ledges, migratory waterfowl in spring and summer, and scattered stands of pine and juniper clinging to exposed bedrock. The supplied waterproof charts and compass make route-finding simple, but tides, wind and sudden weather shifts in Mälaren reward conservative planning.

The outfitter provides a thorough safety briefing at pickup from LEK MER so paddlers of modest experience can leave confident. This package is singular for the Stockholm region: you trade the commute for islands that change with wind and season, yet you sleep in a tent beneath stars visible from clear rock shelves. Because pickup is at Pampas kajak & SUP in Solna, the logistics are tidy—arrive, get briefed, and launch within an hour.

Note that food and personal clothing are not included; bring provisions or arrange meal gear and weather packs from the outfitter. Kayaks and equipment are yours from 10:00 on day one until 20:00 on day five, offering flexibility for late starts or early returns with prior notice. Practical sense pays off here: pack layered, waterproof clothing, a dry bag for electronics and simple, calorie-dense food for backcountry stoves.

Paddling between islands can mean short exposed crossings where steady strokes and conservative route choices keep you safe; if conditions look risky, land early and wait. The trip suits couples, small groups and competent solo paddlers who want minimalist overnight comfort rather than luxury camping. What distinguishes this offering is the access it provides: modern, reliable kit paired with the island freedom of Mälaren and the short drive from Stockholm’s center.

For anyone wanting a compact wilderness arc without complicated logistics, this five‑day self-guided loop is hard to beat—book a launch window at Pampas kajak & SUP and let the islands set the pace.
