Kayak Introduction - Pampas (White Paddle Pass)

Experience the excitement of kayaking for the first time with our beginner-friendly course designed to make you feel safe and confident on the water. Starting from the calm and protected waters of Pampas Marina, you will learn in an ideal environment where wind and waves are minimal. Led by experienced instructors, the course combines both theory on land and practical exercises in the water. You will learn how to set up your kayak and paddle for the best ergonomics, practice basic strokes including forward, backward, and stopping, and gain skills in steering and using the rudder effectively. The focus is on building your confidence so that you can enjoy paddling on your own in the future and explore Stockholm’s waterways safely and comfortably.

Discover the joy of exploring Stockholm from the water as you practice your new skills in small groups that allow for personal feedback and guidance. Our instructors ensure a relaxed pace, giving you time to master each technique while enjoying the unique environment of the Karlberg Canal and the leafy beaches of Kungsholmen. By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to rent a kayak independently and discover the city at your own pace. This experience is perfect for anyone with no prior kayaking experience who wants to combine outdoor adventure, exercise, and learning in a supportive and scenic setting.
