Itinerary
Day 1: Into the Maze
Stop At: Do the North, Nedre Yxno, Norrkoping 61498 Sweden
All the provided gear, food and water are waiting for us at the launch. We'll repack our clothes into dry bags and load the kayaks. Using our top-of-the-line equipment is a real treat! It can be hard to justify purchasing gear of that caliber on your own!
Our launch site is situated in a sheltered bay โ soon we round the first islands and see a maze of islands spreading out in all directions.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Aspรถja Gรฅrden, ASPรJA 1, 610 25 Vikbolandet, Sweden
During our paddle northeast towards Aspรถja weโll pass through many clusters of forested islands and islets. A variety of different ducks, as well as swans and Grey herons breed around here, and White-tailed eagles are sighted regularly since they nest in large trees nearby.
We continue paddling through the Uggelholmarna Nature Reserve, a great spot for a break. Three hundred year-old pine and linden trees grow here, and the open forest is perfect for a short stroll. We aim east towards the narrow inlet between Lammskรคr and Kalvskรคr - we'll end up surrounded by a beautiful and sheltered atoll formation of islands.
A short distance north we reach the cluster of islets south of Aspรถja - one of the most gorgeous settings of the archipelago with spectacular sunset views.
Duration: 12 hours
Meals included:
โข Lunch: We eat lunch and drinks coffee/tea before launching our kayaks.
โข Dinner
Accommodation included: Wild camping permitted anywhere in the area. We provide top quality Hilleberg solo tents, Exped airbeds, pillow etc.
Day 2: A Band of Islands against the Horizon
Stop At: Sรถdling's, 1, NORREUDDEN, 614 98 Sankt ANNA, Sweden
Our following day is a fantastic paddle southeast through the outer archipelago and its barren, wind-pined little islets. The blue horizon and the open sea is our backdrop. If we're lucky we may spot seals and there is an amazing variety of coastal birds out here โ large colonies of gulls and Arctic terns, Black guillemots, Mergansers, Velvet scoters, Eiders, Shelducks, Oystercatchers and Redshanks. Large birds like White-tailed eagles and Great cormorants are common, and maybe we spot Arctic skuas and Ospreys.
After a quite strenuous day we reach the famous navigation mark Kupa Klint. Itโs a lookout with spectacular views of the hundreds of skerries of the Missjรถ Archipelago spreading out below โ the most finely-chiselled archipelago that exists in Sweden.
Inside the outer band of skerries we reach the large island Missjรถ with its parallel islands. Our guides know all the nooks and crannies and will find a superb sheltered spot for the night.
Duration: 1 day

Accommodation included: Wild camping permitted anywhere in the area. We provide top quality Hilleberg solo tents, Exped airbeds, pillow etc.
Day 3: The Village that Time Forgot
Stop At: Harstena 610 42 Sweden
We steer our kayaks south towards the most visited island in the area โ Harstena. An idyllic view of the village greets us as we paddle the narrow inlet. Harstena is famous far and wide for its picturesque and historic beauty. We learn more about the history at the museum in the old school, stroll around the village and munch on delicious cinnamon swirls from the bakery
After a visit to this village seemingly frozen in time, we head southeast aiming for the magical Ytterรถ island with its smooth rocky beaches and gnarly old pine trees. Itโs right on the open sea and we find higher ground for a spectacular view of the archipelago and the horizon. When we fall asleep tonight all we can hear are the waves crashing against the smooth rocks and calls from the many birds that breed on the little islets surrounding the island.

Day 4: A Paddle to the Edge of the World
Stop At: Hรคradskรคrs fyr, 610 42 Gryt, Sweden
Weather conditions permitting, weโll try to make it to Hรคradskรคr today. The old lighthouse on the island is the last outpost of the archipelago right on the open sea. Few make it to this historic spot at the edge of the world!
Weโll pass Gubbรถ on the way, and climb the hill for an amazing view of this part of the archipelago. We paddle south through the beautiful clusters of islands at Laxvarp and make an assessment whether we can reach our goal.
After an exposed crossing, the red iron lighthouse finally appears. The only sounds out here are bird calls and the rhythmic crashing of the sea against the flat rocks. We're as far out as we're going to get and it's absolutely beautiful!
Duration: 1 day

Day 5: Due west for the mainland
Stop At: Fyruddens Gรคsthamn, Fyrudden, 615 96 Gryt, Sweden
We set up camp site south of Fรฅngรถ island last night, and it's our very last morning we in our island wonderland. After a hearty breakfast and a final dip in the sea, we're homeward bound.
We visit the abandoned copper mine on Fรฅngรถ on our way back, then round the island and paddle through a small canal that takes us opposite Fyrudden. A short paddle west takes us to the mainland and the finish point.
Far from strangers anymore, we're a crew of seasoned explorers whoโve just been through an unforgettable kayaking expedition together!
