Itinerary

Before jumping into the kayak, your guide will introduce all the needed gear for you and give you an introduction how we safely do a kayaking tour. So you do not need to have earlier kayaking experience. Kayaking is also absolutely the best activity on a rainy day! When wearing a drysuit and sitting cosy inside the kayak, it is nice to listen and follow raindrops jumping on a water surface. After introduction we will start our tour and enjoy the magnificent nature around and under us. On the bay we are kayaking, is a lot of seals and we have a possibility to follow their life as well (We cannot promise 100% that we are meeting the seals, but so far we've seen them on every tour :)! On a halfway on a tour, we will have a short break with warm drink and a snack, which are included to the tour. Kayaks we are using are double kayaks (single kayaks in some cases). Please notice that there are some restrictions on this trip for safety reasons. You must be able to swim and communicate in English. Due to the size of the kayaks and dry suits, participants must be 158-195 cm tall and have a body mass index (BMI) max 30.
