Imagine setting foot in a land where majestic mountains, serene lakes, and enchanting forests meet to offer an unparalleled backdrop for adventure. Welcome to Sweden, a country that promises extraordinary experiences for those seeking thrilling excursions in the great outdoors. From trekking under the midnight sun to traversing its sprawling archipelagos, Sweden adventure tours captivate the heart and invigorate the soul.

Unforgettable Landscapes

The allure of Sweden lies in its breathtaking natural beauty. One of the must-visit locations for adventure seekers is Abisko National Park. Nestled in the lap of the Swedish Lapland, this park is renowned for its hiking trails that wind through untouched wilderness. Here, the rugged terrain offers not just a challenge but also a front-row seat to the ethereal northern lights, an experience that turns any adventure vacation package to Sweden into a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Water-based Wonders

For those who find solace on the water, the Stockholm Archipelago is a sailor's paradise. Comprising over 30,000 islands, this network provides a sublime setting for kayaking, sailing, and fishing. Quiet islets become your playground, where one can dock their kayaks and indulge in a traditional Swedish fika — an essential cultural experience you shouldn't miss on your trip to Sweden.

Frozen Frontiers

If winter sports are more your style, Åre, the Scandinavian Alps, is your destination of choice. It's the largest ski resort in Northern Europe, offering a multitude of slopes varying in difficulty. Beyond skiing, Åre presents opportunities for ice climbing and dogsledding, where the icy landscapes become a playground for thrill-seekers, solidifying its rightful place in any Swedish adventure itinerary.

Cultural Immersion

No adventure is complete without diving deep into the local culture. Sweden’s rich history and traditions are evident in its many festivals and artistic expressions. The Sámi culture, indigenous to Sweden’s northern parts, offers an immersive experience. Participate in a reindeer sleigh ride or listen to the hauntingly beautiful Joik songs, transforming your adventure vacation into an educational journey.

Conquer the King's Trail

Known as Kungsleden in Swedish, the King's Trail is an iconic trekking route stretching over 400 kilometres through some of Sweden's most stunning landscapes. Crossing through four national parks and a nature reserve, this trail is a top highlight for those booking trips to Sweden. Whether you choose to conquer its entirety or select shorter sections, Kungsleden promises stunning vistas and a deep connection to nature.

Culinary Exploration

Swedish adventures are not only about the landscapes but also about palate-pleasing experiences. Savor fresh seafood along the west coast or relish the homemade delicacies in quaint mountain huts. Traditional dishes like gravlax or reindeer stew take centre stage, promising to delight and offer a taste of Sweden’s culinary prowess.

Travel Tips for Adventurers

  • Best Time to Visit: For hiking and long daylight hours, visit between June and August. For winter sports and aurora borealis, December to March is ideal.
  • Pack Wisely: Whether it's layers for the chilly nights of Lapland or swimwear for the coastal regions, pack appropriate clothing for diverse Swedish weather.
  • Transportation: Sweden boasts excellent public transport, but renting a car can provide the freedom to explore remote locations at your own pace.

As the land of the Vikings and surreal landscapes, Sweden sets the stage for unforgettable adventures that cater to every kind of explorer. Whether you’re charting a course through its historic trails or gliding across pristine lakes, every moment spent is a step towards a grand story of exploration. Time to start planning a trip to Sweden and embrace the myriad adventures waiting to unfold.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

We recently worked with Jacqueline to plan our trip to Greece and had a wonderful experience. We made several revisions to our itinerary and Jacqueline was patient, understanding and prompt in responding to our needs. In addition to the specific tours she booked, she provided extra options and local suggestions for each place we visited in Greece. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made our trip incredibly memorable. Mark Mendell

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen
