What people love about touring Sweden solo
- Team Expedition - Guided Kayak & Wild Camp the Archipelago
The Do The North team were efficient friendly and professional. The equipment was easy to use and the information given by Thomas was clear and he made it sound simple.The menus and food all planned by Helena were amazing ...she is a goddess. We loved helping prepare the food and developed great teamwork which made it all a lot of fun with plenty of laughing.What can I say about where we paddled...I was awestruck by the geological history of the area,it was so beautiful.The guidebook provided had good information and of course Thomas was a fount of information and new the islands well.I never felt outside my " comfort zone" on the water .I absolutely loved it. Thankyou Do The North.It has made my holiday very special.
- 5-day Kayak & Wild Camp the Archipelago - self-guided
Do The North provided an incredible opportunity to experience true wild camping in the beautiful archipelagos of Saint Anna with absolutely no prior experience required. All we really needed to do prior to the trip was fill in a food order form - anything we choose to buy we paid for at supermarket rates and is all packed and ready to go on our arrival. The selection of food is excellent and of very high quality so we ate very well every night! The evening before our trip we stayed at a basic hostel above Norrkoping train station (booked for us by Thomas). In the morning Thomas picked us up from right outside the hostel and drove us to Saint Anna where we would be kayaking from. Thomas and Sam explained what equipment we had and the basics of navigation. Pretty much everything you could need for the trip was provided - the only things i bought otherwise were clothes, a few toiletries and a camera. All of the equipment was extremely high quality, the tents were some of the best I have ever used - they are incredibly easy to pitch and pack away and can be pitched literally anywhere! After a basic introduction we were let loose into the wild! The next 5 nights were some of the best in my life! 2 of my friends had never kayaked before but it didn't take long to get the hang of it and the kayaks are very stable it is near impossible to tip over. Much of our days were spent kayaking and searching out potential camping spots. Each night we camped on a different island and always had the entire island to ourselves (we didn't even see anyone for the first few days!) It truly is one of the most peaceful places I have ever been, and perfect if you want to escape the 'real world' for a few days. We made camp fires and watched an incredible sunset every night. We even managed to catch some fish (they provide all the equipment for doing that too!) Since there is no light pollution, the stars on a clear night are without a doubt, the best I have ever seen. I've been to desert in Eqypt where the stars don't even compare to this! You can clearly see the galactic arm of the milk way stretching across the entire sky. Sitting under the stars with your mates and a few beers next to a camp fire on a beautiful little island that you have claimed as your own for the night is clearly an experience you won't find much elsewhere. I'd recommend this trip to anyone and will definitely be bringing my girlfriend back in the next couple of years! Highlights: Kupa Klint - definitely worth a visit, this is where most of the pictures I've shown were taken from. We camped here and somehow managed to get up for sunrise at 5.30am, which was definetely worth it. Harstena and Hasko - these are two beautiful little villages that make a nice change to the deserted islands for an afternoon or so. Since we went in off-peak season many of the shops were closed but they are great places to stroll around. We ended up camping in Hasko (requires a small fee to the villagers) and we were even able to fire up our own log burning sauna which was the perfect end to this brilliant holiday!

What our customers ask about Sweden Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best season for solo travel in Sweden?
Sweden offers distinct experiences across its seasons. During summer (June-August) the extended daylight hours make exploring Stockholm and Uppsala comfortable and safe for solo travelers. The weather is mild with temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F). This period works well for archipelago tours and outdoor activities. Winter (December-March) draws visitors to Lapland for Northern Lights viewing around Kiruna with temperatures dropping to -10°C (14°F). A TourRadar traveler shared: "Visiting Stockholm in July was perfect - the long daylight hours meant I felt safe exploring alone and there were lots of other travelers around."
What types of accommodation can I expect as a solo traveler on guided tours in Sweden?
Most tours provide stays in 3-4 star hotels that cater to international travelers. You'll find properties like the Clarion Hotel The Hub in Oslo and Scandic Continental in Stockholm. The accommodations range from modern city hotels to local guesthouses. Some itineraries feature unique stays such as the Ripan hotel village in Swedish Lapland. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The accommodations were excellent throughout the trip especially the centrally located hotels in Stockholm which made exploring the city very convenient."
Which areas of Sweden are most solo traveler-friendly?
Stockholm stands out for its reliable public transport network and safe streets even at night. The city's archipelago region with islands like Utö and Ornö lets you explore at your own pace. Swedish Lapland near Kiruna brings travelers together for group activities like husky safaris. The historic Gamla Stan district in Stockholm has become a hub for solo travelers thanks to its walkable streets and social atmosphere. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Stockholm's Södermalm district was perfect for solo exploration with plenty of trendy cafes and safe streets for evening walks."
What's included in the meal plan for solo tours in Sweden?
Tour packages usually cover daily hotel breakfasts. Special activities often include additional meals such as traditional dinners in Lapland or lunch during boat excursions. Hotels like Quality Hasle Linie in Oslo and Scandic Continental in Stockholm serve extensive breakfast spreads. These include both international options and Swedish specialties. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The included breakfasts were amazing with traditional Swedish options like gravlax and knäckebröd plus the group dinners were great for socializing."
What's the typical group size on solo-friendly tours in Sweden?
Most tours operate with 10-20 participants. This size allows for personal attention during Stockholm walking tours archipelago trips and Lapland activities. The groups often include a mix of solo travelers couples and friends. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our group of 12 was perfect - small enough to get to know everyone but large enough to always find someone to explore with during free time."
Are there any single supplement fees for solo rooms in Sweden?
Single room supplements cost between 200-400 USD varying by tour and season. Many operators provide roommate matching services to help avoid these fees. This option is available at most partner hotels including the Scandic Continental in Stockholm. Some summer departures offer reduced or waived single supplements. A TourRadar traveler commented: "I opted for the room-share option and was paired with another solo traveler - it worked out great and saved me money."
