The combination of a sea kayak and the West Sweden archipelago (Bohuslän) is among the most amazing experiences one can have. An absolute world class outdoor adventure. Our ambition is to pass on that feeling. We simply hope to create memories that will last a lifetime.
For three days / two nights we explore one of Bohuslän’s, and the world’s, finest paddling areas. We visit the most beautiful places, stay at the most idyllic beaches, look out for, and learn about, the area’s flora, fauna, history and traditions. We cook good food together and watch the sun set in the west.
Areas
• 6-8 of June, 11-13 of July, 8-10 of August. Havstenssund archipelago – the hidden sea kayaking jewel of the coast. An archipelago divided by the islands Trossö, Kalvö and Lindö. To the east of the islands, lies a sheltered inner archipelago with sandy beaches and vegetated islands, and on the west side an exposed archipelago of granite as beautiful as an archipelago ever can be.
• 27-29 of June, 25-27 of July, 22-24 of August. Koster Sea Marine National Park – A maze of islands in Sweden’s only marine national park. We look for seals and seabirds, visit Sweden’s westernmost lighthouse and glide around in an islands world home to six thousand marine species.

Orust west side – Käringön and Gullholmen are well known island communities, where houses friendly leaning against each other offer a classic view of Bohuslän.

Many thanks, Oskar, for kindness, patience and skillful navigation in the gneiss labyrinths of the Koster Sea paradise. Exciting and varied kayaking! Unexpected close encounters with giant black-backed gulls gave further thoughts...

I totally have something to share with you. Thank you for an absolutely fantastic experience. Kayaking is nice, the archipelago is wonderful but you made the whole trip into something very special. A very sympathetic and interesting guide who both showed techniques and told us stories about herring barons and pilots. A guide who surprises with hand-pumped espresso served on sun-warmed rocks. I was prepared for simple food and as an amateur gourmet and bon vivant, I was overwhelmed by the visit to the local fish shop and the good organic ingredients that you offered - talk about delivering more than expected!! I am absolutely thrilled with all that you have done!! :-) This was the vitamin pill of the year.

Just want to thank you for the kayak trip with you. It was a really nice weekend even though I had a bit of a struggle with the waves sometimes ;) But I felt well taken care of and safe with your skills. (The only thing I missed was a paddle leash, I was a bit worried about losing it sometimes...) I would love to return on more guided tours!

Through wind, water and waves exploring far out shores, challenging our paddling skills, Joakim guided us. We gained new insights in geology, marin biology and coastal animal life. I had such a good time. A vacation at its best.

I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic trip to Fjallbacka last month. We had a fabulous time as a family and felt really disconnected and relaxed by the time we came back to England.
Testimonials
Home again with many memories. It was a great trip and everyone is very happy. We got most of what you could wish for as beginners.
