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
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
We had the most incredible time on our holiday, the whole process was so easy and well organised, and the kayaking was stunning. We want to do it all over again.
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.

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 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
Being out on the water was great. Seeing and visiting the coastal areas north of Gothenburg was amazing. Visiting small fishing villages and camping on deserted islands.
Testimonials
Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved your centre - our favourite one yet! Karoline was amazing - she gave us loads of advice and was so interested in what we were doing. She also turned up with coffee when she came to pick us up (haha) - we were both very happy. The hostel then around the centre was incredible and meant we didn’t have to go back to the main city which is often horrible straight after. The weather wasn’t always on our side but it gave us a real chance to practise our skills.

We just finished a self guided kayak tour- amazing trip! Highly recommended.
