The "Experiences" pages

Nature Travels offers a wide range of year-round outdoor, wildlife and adventure holidays in Sweden, suitable for all ages and levels of experience. We have divided our experiences into summer and winter:

Summer Holidays in Sweden

• Bushcraft: bushcraft holidays and courses for adults and families.
• Canoeing and Timber Rafting: timber rafting, self-guided and guided canoeing.
• Hiking and Trekking: a variety of hiking opportunities in the Swedish wilderness, from self-guided hiking in southern Sweden to challenging treks in Sarek National Park in the far north of Sweden.
• Horse Riding: we have riding holidays in Sweden to suit a wide range of levels of experience, including working holidays.
• Kayaking: guided and self-guided sea kayaking in Sweden's stunning archipelagos on the east and west coast.
• Summer Active Accommodation: log cabins and catered accommodation options for couples, families and small groups - an ideal way to enjoy the long summer days.
• Summer Other: multi-activity options to make the most of the long Swedish summer days.
• Wildlife: Sweden offers excellent opportunities for encounters with animals. Our dedicated wildlife experiences focus particularly on Sweden's wolves, but you may also see a wide variety of other animals during your tour including the "King of the Forest", the moose, as well as tracks and signs of other predators such as lynx.

Winter Holidays in Sweden

• Cross Country Skiing: with thousands of kilometres of possible routes to choose from, Sweden is an excellent destination for cross country skiing, both for day outings or extended ski touring.
• Dog Sledding: lead your own husky dog sled team into a mountain world of snow and silence on a multi-day dog sledding holiday.
• Winter Active Accommodation: a traditional log cabin is a wonderful way to enjoy the magic of the Swedish winter, with activities from cross country skiing to ice fishing.
• Winter Other: there is so much to do in Sweden in the winter - try ice skating on frozen lakes or a winter wonderland forest holiday!

Helping you choose the right holiday for you

With so many ways to enjoy the beauty of the Swedish landscape, we understand that it can sometimes be hard to choose. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the most suitable options for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

You can also see suggestions for a particular kind of Sweden holiday:

• Adventure Travel: Fun and exciting activities in the Swedish wilds! Dog sledding, wilderness canoeing and mountain hiking tours.
• Challenge: More demanding experiences including mountain dog sledding and wilderness trekking.
• Comfort Zone: Love the outdoors but also value good food and a comfortable bed for the night? Find the answer in the Comfort Zone!
• Family Friendly: Sweden is a wonderful destination for families. Here you will find suggestions for families with very young children and also for those with active teenagers.
• Guided Experiences: Having a local guide can add enormously to your enjoyment of your holiday and the opportunity to learn about Swedish nature and culture, and is of course essential for activities such as dog sledding.

Another helpful way to choose or to see possible ways to combine two or more experiences into a single trip is to use our interactive map of Sweden or browse our listings by month.

On each page you will find general information for the experience, including description, itinerary (if appropriate), details of dates, prices, what the price includes, any optional extras and general location information. Additional information you will need for your experience will be included in your booking documentation.

You should find all the information you need prior to booking on these pages, but if you have any questions, please ask. As an ecotourism company which takes our environmental responsibilities very seriously, we try to minimise our consumption of resources and do not publish a printed brochure. As well as having a significant environmental benefit, this also means that we are able to provide you with the latest information on our experiences and update this information regularly.
