Do you want to experience the stunning nature and mountains from seas? And be surprised how crystal clear the arctic water is and how much life there is under water as well? And maybe even see seals from a kayak, which are living in the bay this tour is taking you. I cannot promise for 100%, but so far we have seen seals on every kayaking tour 🙂 Kayaking in arctic, year-round is an unforgettable experience. During wintertime kayaking is still possible and locals do it a lot! With right gear you will be warm and cozy inside the kayak, while enjoying white mountains and stunning polar night colors around you!
This is an easy tour also for the ones who have never paddled before. If you enjoy being outdoors, can swim and can sit legs straight in the floor, this is a tour for you!
We like to keep the amount of participants low, so that you have a better possibility to experience nature and feel relaxed.
