On the way, you’ll notice one of those magnificent little wooden red houses, discreetly placed among the pines which we’ll tell you more about during the tour.
Will explore different islands by kayak along the way. The kayak tour will be granted by a filling meal on one of the deserted islands. There, will take time to rest, with only companion of the swell of the Baltic Sea and the singing birds. By the end of the afternoon, we will paddle back to Dalarö; our starting point. Will go around other islands and get the opportunity to see other fantastic things from this part of the archipelago that is probably one of the nicest and wildest. It will also be magical to see a sea eagle circling around the islands, looking for the ideal prey. Maybe one of those numerous migratory birds like different types of goose or the famous great cormorant flying over the horizon to the direction up north. Back to hotel.

In the evening when the forest is starting to get mystical, comes the time for go out there. Indeed the wildlife is very often coming out from dusk to dawn.

Will offer a break for a dinner before scouting the forest again. What to expect during this night safari:

- Fallow deer is a magnificent deer slightly bigger than the roe deer but having white dots on the fur.
- See eagle: Can be spotted sometime over the forest as the sea is never far.
