Kayaking and Canoeing

There's something quite meditative about gliding through the water on a kayak or canoe. The change of perspective, the rhythmic movements and the proximity to the water create the perfect balance between action and relaxation. Both kayaking and canoeing are a skill easily acquired but hard to master-there's a learning curve for all skill levels. In Scandinavia and Canada canoeing and kayaking means to explore craggy shores, hidden fjords, extensive lake networks including the occasional encounter with local wildlife.

Multi-day kayaking holidays

Steer the tip of your canoe or kayak towards territories reigned by nature. Paddle down the remote fjords of the Lofoten, relive the journey of the early gold miners in the Yukon or retrace the the trails of Norway’s Vikings. Multi-day adventures are ideal if you like to experience nature first-hand. The trips take kayakers and canoers of all skills levels to different camping spots each night. 

  • Suitable for all levels of skill
  • Tours can be combined with other activities
  • Small groups with experienced guides
