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, 4-6 and 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.
• 13 -15 of June, 18-20 of July, 15-17 of August. 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.
• 1-3 of August, 29-31 of August. 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.

Thank you, Oskar and Joakim, for a super nice weekend at Koster, everything worked perfectly. The fact that you so generously share your knowledge and experience has made me a better paddler and given me some "bonus knowledge" about Bohuslän's rocks. See you again next summer!

The tour in the Koster Sea was absolutely fantastic, thanks to the nice weather and the excellent guiding. I've dreamed of kayaking for several nights afterwards and I'm craving more trips and my own kayak.
