Start with a short 15-minute (approximate) transfer by minivan to the RIB (rigid inflatable boat) pick-up location and board a RIB for a tour of the Stockholm's archipelago at up to 50 knots! The Stockholm archipelago is one of the world's most spectacular. Stretching about 50 miles east of the city and about 150 miles from north to south, the archipelago comprises 30,000 islands, inlets and rocks from big to small. Some are inhabited, while others are large enough for only a smattering of wildflowers. During the nineteenth century the archipelago became a favorite retreat for the rich and famous, who began to build summer residences here. More recently the archipelago has become a recreation area for the people of Stockholm, with summer cottages and an intense boating life. Note: Guests should be in good physical condition. For safety reasons, expectant mothers, Guests with heart or respiratory conditions and those with back/neck injuries cannot participate.
A RIB is a cross between a speed boat and a Sea-Doo and makes for an exciting way to see the archipelago. Your expert pilot will guide the nimble vessel through the waterways, swishing and zipping from here to there, reaching speeds of up to 50 knots.
After approximately 60 minutes on the water, disembark on the picturesque island of Grinda, where you will enjoy a delicious Swedish-style lunch (included in the price of this tour).
