THE ROUTE

Paddle the leafy canals of central Stockholm

The course departs from Pampas Marina and explores the quiet, tree-lined waterways around Karlberg and Kungsholmen — a longer, full-day route that lets you take in more of the city from the water.

THE TEACHING

Slow pace, focused skill work

Unlike an evening lesson, the heldag format gives time to hone basic paddling technique and safety drills without rush — ideal for first-timers and those wanting deliberate practice.

THE REWARD

Earn your Yellow Paddlepass (EPP 1)

The course is structured to deliver the knowledge and skills required for the Yellow Paddlepass, giving formal confirmation of basic paddling and safety competence.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day unfolds at an unhurried pace: a morning meet at the Pampas pier, progressive skill sessions on the water, a social beach lunch, and more paddling in the afternoon. Instruction mirrors the operator’s evening curriculum but stretched across a full seven-hour outing so you spend more time in the boat and less time watching the clock.
