Paddle with seals

To meet free animals in their natural habitat is always a great experience. From the cockpit of a kayak it’s unforgettable. We set out on a peaceful journey to the seals’ home. We do our best to locate some of the approximately 12 000 harbor seals that live along the Bohuslän coast.
In Havstensfjord the water is often calm. The fjord is protected from westerly winds by Orust and we can usually quietly slide around and look for the fjord’s natural inhabitants. The chances of getting company from the fjord’s seal colony is good. We help each other to look out for heads emerging near the kayaks curiously peering at us. But who is actually checking out who?
Havstensfjord is also Sweden’s eider densest area, partly thanks to the blue mussel farms evenly spread out on the water, offering a favorite buffet of food for the birds. With a decent portion of good luck we can also spot a white tailed sea eagle circling in the sky above. What is definitely certain is that we will spot many other species sea birds and have a nice lunch and coffee break on an island along the way.

Testimonials
We were all very happy with the paddling on Friday. There were several who were worried about whether they would dare, make it, etc., but it went really well. All the instructors were calm, nice and patient and gave good information and instruction. We had a lot of fun, so we're completely satisfied.

A wonderfully lovely day that it will be good to think about now when autumn darkness and cold creeps in. A compliment to both of you also for being such nice and good guides. Hope to see you again when we do a replay!
