On a Self guided tour you’re on your own adventure, but with plenty of support from us. You get all the paddling gear you need, we will give you a solid review of both equipment and paddling route over a coffee before setting off. Then we will come and pick you up, your friends and all the equipment when you’re finished. No backtracking. Easy and convenient.
You can choose to paddle three, four, five, six or seven days. If you need camping equipment you can rent a camping package from us. It has never been easier to find a great paddling adventure.
Southern route
A Self guided sea kayaking tour along the southern route is a fabulously beautiful journey through a varied coastal landscape. You start in a lush, green and relatively weather-protected inner archipelago environment in the fjordlands area, before the paddling takes you to the rugged and rocky outer archipelago, with charming fishing communities and horizon feel. You will meet steep rock walls, inviting sandy beaches, colonies of sea birds, spectacular sunsets and deserted islands to stay overnight. Perhaps you will also get close contact with Bohuslän’s landscape animal, the harbor seal. The southern route also gives you many alternatives, where much of the paddling takes place, or can take place, on relatively weather-protected waters. Perfect if any or a few days offer windy conditions.
Dates
You can start your Self guided tour any day between May 1 and September 30.

Testimonials
We had really a good time with your agency, and I am thinking very often about the good times we had in Sweden!
Testimonials
The service we received in Sweden was far beyond what we expected, nothing was too much trouble and we were made very welcome. Obviously with any hire company we wern´t sure what would be waiting for us when we arrived but we were both impressed by the equipment provided. Proper charts in Ortlieb waterproof cases really showed how professional they were.
Testimonials
Thank you for a fantastic few days. Emily and I had an absolute blast.
Testimonials
The kayaking was a pleasant way of traveling. I would look forward to do it in a group of 4-5 people. We had a lovely evening by the campfire. Even the rain could not bring us down, we just took a lovely swim.
Testimonials
Many thanks for preparing me for the trip. You helped me a lot and it was during our "sit together" that I decided that I wanted to do it (on my own). It was such an exciting trip!! The weather was a real challenge however I finally made it to the pick up point. It was both physically as mentally a real test, but in the meantime I enjoyed it a lot. The views were great and when the sun was shining it was soooo lovely and quiet. I will definitely come back! Again, many thanks! Also for the upfront communication. See you maybe next year or whenever it is possible to come back.
Testimonials
Beautiful and varied scenery, camping on deserted islands, cooking fresh fish over an evening campfire, lovely sunshine, great wildlife and having the world to ourselves. It was a great holiday.
Testimonials
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that we had the most brilliant time doing our 4 days sea-kayaking. We have some excellent pics and are still talking about it, a month on.... such great times. Many thanks again, and hope to see you again for another adventure.
Testimonials
We had a great kayaking experience and we will definitely be back. Upplevelsebolaget were great to deal with. Everyone was friendly and excited for us and wanted to hear about our trip. It was nice to feel that warmth of strangers when we were so far away from home. The waters we paddled were beautiful and we have a lot of great memories to look back on.
Testimonials
The paddling was a highlight! Especially when we spotted a seal just outside of Gustavsberg. The independence and self sufficiency of carrying all our gear for 4 days unsupported. How the local provider was welcoming, informative and helpful and not too overbearing in our preparations; he offered the perfect amount of advice and support whilst letting us get on with it and not imposing huge amounts of health and safety mumbo jumbo on us like can often happen in the UK.
Testimonials
Dear Upplevelsebolaget team! I first need to start by thanking you all for facilitating such a great experience. The equipment, your advice and enthusiasm together with the actual trip far exceeded my expectations. I will recommend you to others and in the words of Arnold Schwazenegger - "We will be back!".
