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 go down in the west.

Areas

• 3-5 of June, 12-14 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.

• 1-3 of July, 26-28 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.

• 15-17 of July, 9-11 of September. Fjällbacka archipelago – the essence of Bohuslän. Ingrid Bergman romance and a rich maritime history in the world of smooth, polished, gleaming red granite islands hiding sandy beaches, charming wooden houses and picturesque small fishing communities.

• 17-19 of June, 29-31 of July. Orust west side – Käringön and Gullholmen are well known island communities, where houses friendly leaning against each other offer a classic view of Bohuslän. In a kayak Hermanö’s diverse and magnificent coastal scenery and Vallerös stunning sandy beaches are destinations you always long for.

A fabulous time

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.

Danielle Loiselle, Norway

It was awesome

Just a few lines of feedback, well three words: it was awesome! Thanks to yourself and Oscar for being such great guides, you guys really know what you are talking about and made the trip more enjoyable with all the random knowledge and stories of the area. I have been talking about the trip for weeks now.

Kimberley Travers, Scotland

Still sinking in

I was delighted with the entire organisation and I am very happy that we chose Upplevelsebolaget. As a kayak newbie I can say that I felt safe and sound at all times and that this was a great introduction to what sea kayaking is all about. Your knowledge of the region was remarkable and added to this feeling, not only while guiding us but also when you pointed out specialties in flora and fauna.

The equipment and food you provided exceeded my expectations. The variety and quality (99% eco!) was excellent and this actually made the experience very relaxing for me, knowing that everything was taken care of.

I will never forget this first moment coming round Långeskär and having the sun in the south, the island in the east and the open sea with the glittering blue horizon in the west. After two weeks at home the impressions are still sinking in and sometimes I find myself thinking back at some of the great nature we have experienced, which puts a smile on my face even in the middle of a professional meeting. Thank you for all of this.

Lennart Fahnenmüller, Germany

Fantastic weekend

It was a fantastic weekend and all round great experience – thanks go to you! I’m not sure if I could suggest any changes. What was good for me was that we had good variety of scenery, some good paddling time and also instruction on ‘technique’ as well as great meals – a gold star from Tim!

Tim Mashman, England

Such a good time

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.

Mona Berg

Brilliant

The food was brilliant and the whole organisation of the trip was excellent. Our guide Jarno was also friendly, knowledgeable and generally brilliant. All of the camping gear was also new or in very good condition as was the kayaking equipment.
