Segla i Stockholms Skärgård

The Green Trails offers sailing trips to Gålö, with a skipper aboard. The one-day trip lasts nine hours and is listed as a relaxing option for families with young children. You can relax on the boat, visit islands, swim or fish, or help the skipper and learn about sailing, wind directions and navigation. Visit Stockholm says no sailing experience is needed.

The one-day trip includes meals and transport to and from Stockholm. Adults pay 2,500 SEK (about $250); child and student prices are available. Two- or three-day trips are full-day outings with meals, transport and accommodation included. The operator says you spend the night on the boat and visit islands that cannot be reached on its single-day trips. Adults pay 5,000 SEK (about $500) for either option.

Tours run on request: choose a day and wait for confirmation. The operator says trips depend on wind and weather and are planned around the conditions. Student discounts require valid student and ID cards, do not apply to PhD students, and have a maximum age of 25. Child discounts require valid ID and have a maximum age of 15.
