Everything in Svolvær is connected to the ocean.
With a kayak, you sit directly on the surface of the ocean, in perfect height to enjoy the view of the iconic fisherman's cabins, the wooden racks used to dry stockfish and the tall mountain peaks. You get to watch everything that makes Lofoten unique and beautiful, but from the waterside.
During the activity you will be seated in a double seated wide bodied kayak, providing good stability for both beginners and more experienced paddlers.
The trip starts from Svolvær harbor, and follows a 2-hour-long route through calm and crystal clear waters.
Join us for a unique winter activity out on the winter sea - a truly Arctic experience!
