GUIDED KAYAK TOURS

Summer 2025 – our Guided Tours

Preconditions:

The High Coast is partly quite exposed. The challenges are mainly the wind, and the waves that can build up from the wind. It is virtually impossible to beforehand promise a certain tour/route can be paddled some certain dates in the future, since the weather is not predictable. To make it possible for not only the very experienced sea kayaker to paddle the High Coast, we now try out a new concept. We provide experienced guides, familiar with the conditions of the High Coast, and we receive the right for the guides to adapt both the tour area/goal, and the route while out, to the weather and the capacity of the group members. Our first priority is safety – someone may capsize, but there should not be any hazard for life or limb. We do our best to give each group an optimal experience the given dates, BUT both the goal and the route can be another than what is preliminary advertised below. This means that YOU may feel that you could paddle a more challenging way, but we have the responsibility for the whole group. Your willingness to adhere to these rules is a precondition for tour kayaking with us. – This said, we are out to ENJOY! 🙂

July 9 – 11 – preliminary goal Trysunda

• 9 – 11 July we arrange a guided tour
• Our aim, if weather is suitable, is kayaking to and around Trysunda
• Depending on weather/wind, and the experience of the group members, we may need to change route from the one given below, and even change the goal/area we paddle in (e g to one of the areas we mention at the top of this page)
• Price includes transport between our base (Ramö 124 – 131, Lunde) and the starting/end point of the kayaking tour
• Two guides with great experience of kayaking the High Coast will lead during the three days
• NOTE: it is preferable that you arrive on the afternoon/evening of July 8th (you can camp on our lawn towards by the sea/River), so we can pack up and leave on the morning of July 9th
