Stockholm: Hike, Forest Lunch, and Cold-Water Floating – Vaxholm, Sweden
Experience floating in icy waters without the cold. Drift weightlessly in the Baltic, hike in a Viking forest, and enjoy fire-cooked Swedish flavors in one unforgettable day.
PRICE: $115
per person
Step into Bogesund’s nature reserve and feel the crunch of the forest path under your boots as golden light filters through tall pines and mossy “troll forests.” Few visitors to Stockholm ever set foot here, but this wild Viking land holds secrets you can only uncover by walking its trails. Breathe in the fresh, earthy scent of the woods while spotting glimpses of wildlife and sweeping views that once guided Viking travelers. There’s a reason locals call these moss-covered woods “troll forests”… and you’ll see why when you’re inside them.
Around the fire, the warmth and smoky aroma wrap around you as we cook meatballs over open flames — a taste that’s rustic, rich, and unlike anything you’ll find in a restaurant. You’ll learn the simple fire-making trick Swedes still use outdoors, and discover why cooking under the trees makes food taste so unforgettable. Afterward, a Swedish fika with strong coffee and pastries will show you why this little ritual is one of the country’s most beloved traditions.
Then comes the magic: slipping into a floating suit and easing back into the cool, glassy Baltic waters. Floating here feels more like flying than swimming, and the sensation is almost impossible to describe until you’ve tried it yourself. Ever wondered what it feels like to drift weightlessly without ever getting cold? That’s the memory you’ll carry home — along with rosy cheeks, a clear mind, and the satisfied glow of having done something truly different in Stockholm.
