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
West Sweden boasts mutiple wonderful areas for sea kayaking. Innumerable islands and skerries that offer sheltered waters, or exposed stretches of coast with the horizon as our neighbor. Listed below we mention a few. Depending on the prevailing wind and weather conditions we will choose the best possible option. If you, when you make your booking, are particularly curious in any of them, please let us know and we will take that into account.
• Koster Sea Marine National Park – A maze of islands in Sweden’s first marine national park. We look for seals and seabirds, visit Sweden’s westernmost lighthouse and glide around in an islands wonderland home to more than six thousand marine species.
• Fjällbacka archipelago – the essence of Bohuslän. A rich maritime history in a world of smooth, polished, gleaming red granite islands hiding sandy beaches, charming wooden houses and picturesque small fishing communities.
• Havstenssund archipelago – the hidden sea kayaking jewel of the coast. An archipelago divided by the islands Trossö, Kalvö and Lindö, that on one side hides a sheltered inner archipelago with sandy beaches and vegetated islands, and on the other offers an exposed archipelago of granite as beautiful as an archipelago ever can be.
• 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.

Testimonials
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
Thank you comrades and thank you Upplevelsebolaget for two fantastic days. Professional and well arranged.
Testimonials
It was absolutely wonderful, fantastic environments, super good guide and an incredibly well run tour, down to the smallest detail! The fact that the food was so good and that it was organic and locally produced was the icing on the cake. All participants were so happy.
Testimonials
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.
Testimonials
An activity with Upplevelsebolaget builds expectations. When it's not the first time, expectations are high. When I now summarize my impressions, it is quite clear that Jocke, Karro and Daniel exceeded my expectations. I can't give you a better rating. To build a mood, arouse emotions, show that you can do more than you think, offer the best you have, encourage you to step out of comfort zones, provide community and not least a taste of "adventure". THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN. Forget our jokes about developing the business model, continue with what you are doing in the same genuine way. Just keep going, please. I have your website as a favorite and will follow you and hope to get back to you as soon as I can. Upplevelsebolaget's Kosterhavet 2012 was the experience of the year. Thank you to all participants and not least the host Jocke Hermansson. Receive this bouquet of seaweed, lichens, trift and lots of bird and seal experiences under a lovely August sun in Kosterhavet. I'm still enjoying it. Thanks. Summer greetings from Skåne
Testimonials

Testimonials
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!
Testimonials
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.
Testimonials
To be part of a community and experience at sea. Marvellous. Thank you to all of you.
Testimonials
Can't think of anything that would need to be changed in the implementation or setup. It's perfect as it is today. Good care of us participants from the first moment in Ladan (the Barn) to the final summary on the return home after the tour. Safe and secure leadership. Felt OK even for someone like me, a kayak beginner, when we were going out among the high waves and the white foam. I also especially liked the strategy of "whirling around" among all the islands! I have previously participated in two other tours with other organizers that are marked with Nature's Best, but the kayak tour with you is by far the best arranged experience. Thank you for a great experience! Will be happy to return!
