Not sure which ticket to choose?
For the best experience in June 2026, choose between a focused 2-hour guided scenic tour or a flexible 24-hour transport pass. While 'skip-the-line' options are available, they primarily function as timed-entry reservations to guarantee a seat on popular summer departures rather than bypassing security queues.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The 2.5-hour Guided Archipelago Tour typically departs from Strandvägen (Berths 15-16), while the shorter 1.5-hour 'Little Archipelago Tour' departs from Nybroviken (Berths 8-12). Verify your specific pier and berth number on your voucher as multiple operators use these docks. Arrive at the pier at least 20–30 minutes before departure to join the boarding line, as 'skip-the-line' tickets only bypass the physical ticket office and do not provide priority boarding. Seating is entirely first-come, first-served; early arrival is the only way to secure highly-coveted outdoor deck spots or window tables.
- Price: Official adult rates for June 2026 start at approximately 340–360 SEK for 1.5-hour tours and 380–400 SEK for 2.5–3 hour guided routes. Partner prices, such as the 366 SEK GetYourGuide offer for a 2-hour tour, typically match or slightly undercut official walk-up kiosk prices by reflecting web-only discounts. Children aged 6–15 generally receive a 50% discount, while those under 6 travel for free on most standard departures but still require a booked '0 SEK' ticket for capacity counts.
- Discounts: For the classic guided archipelago tours, children aged 0–5 typically travel free of charge but MUST still have a booked ticket to comply with maritime safety and capacity regulations; never board without a zero-cost reservation for infants. Children aged 6–15 usually qualify for a reduced fare (approximately 50% off the adult rate). While public transport ferries (Waxholmsbolaget) offer senior and student discounts, private sightseeing operators generally do not, though 'Family Tickets' covering 2 adults and up to 4 children are often available for better value. Note that most historic vessels used for these tours are not wheelchair accessible due to steep gangways and narrow stairs. If traveling with a dog, they are typically permitted on the outer decks but may be restricted from indoor restaurant areas.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket mean I bypass the boarding queue?
No; while these tickets bypass the pier's physical ticket office, all passengers must join the same boarding queue at the quay. Boarding typically begins 15–20 minutes before departure on a first-come, first-served basis for seating.
Can I buy tickets at the pier if online slots are sold out?
In the June peak season, tours frequently sell out days in advance; while kiosks at the pier may have last-minute cancellations, booking online is the only way to guarantee a seat on a specific departure.
What happens if it rains on the day of my tour?
Tours operate in all weather conditions as the boats feature large, heated indoor salons with panoramic windows. Refunds are not provided for rain, so ensure you check the 24-hour cancellation window if you prefer a sunny day.
Are there reduced rates for children or students?
Children under 6 usually travel free but still require a '0 SEK' ticket for coast guard capacity counts; children aged 6–15 typically receive a 50% discount, while student and senior discounts vary by specific tour operator.
Is food included, and can I bring my own snacks?
Standard sightseeing tours do not include food, though most have an on-board cafeteria selling Swedish 'fika' and light lunches. Bringing outside hot food or alcohol is generally prohibited on these vessels.
How do I find the correct departure point in Stockholm?
The 2.5-hour Guided Archipelago Tour typically departs from Strandvägen (Berths 15-16), while the 1.5-hour tour uses Nybroviken (Berths 8-12). Always check your voucher for the specific 'Kajplats' (Berth) number, as multiple boats depart simultaneously.
Do I need to print my GetYourGuide or digital voucher?
No, digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted. Simply present the QR code to the crew at the gangway for scanning as you board the vessel.
