Active Experiences in Småland and Sweden with Swike – Experience Sweden Outdoors
Swike offers sustainable and nature-based Experiences in some of Sweden’s most beautiful and culturally rich areas. Based in Småland and around Lake Vättern, we create meaningful trips for those who want to discover Sweden at a slower pace – on foot, by bike or by kayak.
We believe that the best experiences happen with care for the place and the people who live there. That’s why we collaborate with local actors and offer small-scale tours with a focus on sustainability, adventure and personal service.

Day activities: Hiking, cycling and kayaking
Are you looking for a shorter experience? We offer day activities such as bike tours, kayaking and guided hikes around Jönköping, Bunn and Huskvarna. Our local guides will show you hidden gems and tell you about the history and nature of the area.
Rent a bike or kayak
Do you want to discover Småland on your own? We offer easy rental of bikes and kayaks – both in central Jönköping (at Elite Stora Hotellet) and at Bauergården in Bunn. Electric bikes, touring bikes and stable kayaks make it easy to experience more on your own.

Swike also offers activities and experiences for companies, groups and private parties. It can be conference activities, pentathlons, bachelor and bachelorette parties or an active day together with family, friends or colleagues.
