Thank you for finding me and for being curious about getting out into nature and paddling! Johan Herlitz is my name who runs Kanotkungen. 2017 I took over the business that was established already in 1975 by Christer Andersson.
As a young man I competed in one-man kayaks and my first summer job was renting out Canadians in Katrineholm. A job that I returned to after several years in the forest industry. I don't have much time to paddle right now, but listening to my customers' experiences and adventures makes up for it by far. There is almost nothing I love more than being in nature and I hope to inspire and share my experiences with you and all those who want to have a wonderful nature experience in beautiful Sörmland!
Welcome to the website!
Yours sincerely,

We and our children (9-10 years) got exactly what we were looking for. We only planned an overnight stay but with the help of good staff and the beautiful surroundings we got idyllic nature experiences in an easily accessible way.
We at Tumba Gymnasium have worked with Kanotkungen and Johan for many years and we always come back with new bookings. Johan and his colleagues who have been with us on our outdoor days for many years now have been absolutely awesome. Many students paddle for the first time and during the hours we are out on the water with each class, they get a holistic experience of being out on a trip with professional guides. Everything feels very safe and cozy and Johan and co are good role models for our sometimes anxious students. They convey knowledge about paddling, safety and create security in the groups. They let everyone try at their own pace, but they almost always manage to get everyone on a trip where most of the teaching takes place on the water and where they are skilled at keeping the groups together and creating great memories of canoeing and outdoor life that the students usually talk about long after. Just what we are looking for greetings Anton Sports teacher Tumba
Happy, nice and knowledgeable people who instructed and helped with the reception and departure. We had a fantastic day at Marvikarna.
Super good! Nice review of the history of the area you paddle in and many good laughs and tips before we went out on the water. 10/10 - 3rd time we are here 🙂
After a magical weekend in a canoe, in the waters of Sörmland, we can only say that we are very happy with our experience - as usual! Neither the first nor the last time we paddle with Kanotkungen! A little extra thanks to the nice and flexible staff who helped us make the paddling even better!
