In Liljefors' footsteps at the far end of the sea band
Bullerön was for many years a gathering place for the artist elite of the time and other prominent people. Here, the painters Bruno Liljefors, Anders Zorn and the author Albert Engström have worked and socialized. In 1923-1967 Bullerö was owned by Torsten Kreuger and has since been part of the Bullerö nature reserve.
We paddle from Idöborg over Bulleröfjärden, about 45 minutes, have lunch at the hostel in Hemviken on Bullerö, take a look at Liljefors summer house Jaktslottet and walk around the island.

Swin run safari on Ormskär
One of the most beautiful areas in the Nämdö Archipelago with shallow bays, lagoons, narrow straits and clear water. We paddle south from Idöborg for about 40 minutes, pull up the kayaks on the rocks and establish a "basecamp". Then we put on wetsuits and shoes to look south over rocks and water. When we return to the kayaks we eat lunch and then paddle back to Idöborg.
Time: Half day
Price: SEK 1,000 / person
Included: Lunch & coffee, guide, swimsuit & buoy
Open water swimming around Långskär
We swim from Idöborg over to Långskär and follow the shoreline south, into the shallow "canal" between Långskär and Ormskär and Björkkobben. There are several places where you can swim across the "canal". This means that experienced swimmers can swim a little longer and the slower ones can turn earlier. However, we always swim at least two together.
Maximum distance 3,000 meters.
Time: 45 min - 1.5 h
Price: SEK 300 / person, rental of wetsuit and buoy: SEK 300

Join us on a trip through the primeval forest-like nature on the western side of Nämdö. We walk through deep coniferous forest, out on rocks, over meadows and fields.

If we walk quietly, we may see some of the island's many deer.
