The late fall and winter months are some of the best seasons to kayak around Tromsø. The water is crystal clear, the air is crisp and clean and the early afternoon sunsets are beyond beautiful. It begins with the bright colors of fall, with white tipped peaks, untill the landscape is covered in white.
In the darkest period from the middle of november to end of january we are all about polar nights with the stars twinkling 24 hours a day.
Together we gear up in drysuits and keep warm kayaking our way in the sounds, islands and archipelagos surrounding Tromsø. Often a seal or two will curiously show up by our side and follow us for a while. If luck is on our side we might find ourselves being checked out by a flock of porpoise whales that regularly pass through the sounds.
We make time to go ashore for a break, to light a fire and warm up with hot drinks and snacks.
This is a guided tour and you do not need previous experience to join us. A safety briefing and introduction to winter sea kayaking will be given before setting out. On our winter tours we paddle sturdy double kayaks, but you may paddle singles on request if you can document sufficient kayaking skills.
The guide will pick a location according to the weather and sea conditions to make sure you have a safe trip.
Return to the city centre in the early afternoon.
