Historical walk around Vaxön

Hike around Växön with a guide who takes you to the island's favourite places -

along walking paths close to the sea.

The tour starts in Söderhamnen in central Vaxholm and then follows the southern coastline to the island's western tip on Eriksö. There we take a short break to rest our legs, eat any packed lunch or take a refreshing swim in the sea. On the way back, we walk along the northern part of the island until we come back to Söderhamnen. We always hike as far as possible right near the shoreline.

The guide tells you about what we pass along the way and will show you the main sights, small hidden gems and take you to the places that have the best views and that give you the best pictures for the photo albums or social media. On this tour you will have the opportunity to see the whole of Vaxön with the picturesque town center, the pastel-colored wholesale villas, the old fishermen's quarters and the fantastic natural areas.

Throughout the tour we stay close to the water and maybe we see wild animals such as seals, beavers, hares or squirrels. However, the tour may need to be rescheduled based on the current weather and then the guide will choose alternative routes. The hike is 9 km long and takes about 3-4 hours including a break of about 20 minutes at Eriksö. The start time for the hike is adapted according to wishes. The hike can be carried out and booked all year round, but needs to be booked no later than one week before the current date. The guides speak Swedish, English and to some extent German. The hike is not accessible for wheelchairs, walkers etc as we hike along forest paths, stairs and steep mountains. No special equipment is required apart from comfortable shoes and maybe a water bottle. If you want to bring a packed lunch, you arrange it on your own in advance.

Price: SEK 500 per person, at least three participants per occasion.
