Stockholm archipelago

Experience the Stockholm archipelago from above

Join us on a helicopter tour over the Stockholm archipelago and see this world of islands from the air.

From the rooftops and waterways of the city we head out across the islands, bays and skerries of the archipelago – from the inner islands around Vaxholm all the way out to Sandhamn and the open sea.

The Stockholm archipelago is made up of thousands of islands stretching from the city far out into the Baltic. The flight starts at Bromma and takes you over Stockholm before the cityscape gradually turns into archipelago.

Every passenger gets a headset, and during the flight the pilot guides you and talks about the places you pass.

Heading out

From Stockholm to the outer archipelago

One of the most striking parts of the flight is how quickly the landscape changes.

From Stockholm you continue over the denser island world of the inner archipelago. Further out, houses grow sparser, the islands smaller and the open sea ever more present.

On the longer tour the flight continues all the way to Sandhamn and the open sea – where the Stockholm archipelago meets the Baltic.

The team at Arnheli are incredibly professional

We surprised my father on his 80th birthday, and my mother, my husband and I all had a fantastic flight. The team at Arnheli are incredibly professional, service-minded and seem to love their job. We would happily do it again.
