Activity description

Enjoy a scenic 3-hour sea-kayaking excursion around the island of Skrova in the Lofoten Archipelago and view the majestic fjords from sea level! Welcoming adventurers ages 8 and up.

Located in the Arctic Circle (Northern Norway), the Lofoten Archipelago is a premier tourist destination for nature lovers and outdoor adventure enthusiasts alike! Known for its stunning fjords, numerous islands and islets, as well as its diverse wildlife, sea kayaking in Lofoten is one of the best ways to explore this incredible region!

Your adventure begins at the meeting point on Skrova Island, where you and your group (a maximum of 10 participants) will be greeted by your experienced instructor. After a safety and itinerary briefing, you will be provided with your life jacket and paddle (as well as a dry suit if the weather is colder). Then, your seasoned instructor will give an introduction to sea kayaking and paddling techniques. Now, the fun starts! 

You'll set off into the Lofoten Archipelago in the company of your guide, enjoying the breathtaking panorama of Northern Norway! Don't forget to keep a lookout for wildlife as you paddle, sea eagles are known to frequent this area. Skrova Island is one of the smaller island groups in Lofoten and is very much worth the outing. Nick-named the 'Hawaii of Lofoten', its fine sand beaches and turquoise waters are unanimously loved by visitors year-round. Easily accessible by ferry from Svolvær (free of charge), it's worth the trip to Skrova Island!

Activity requirements

Please be advised that all participants must know how to swim.

In addition, please make sure to dress according to the weather (in spring and autumn, this may include wool gloves and a hat). 

Cotton clothing is not recommended, because when it gets wet it wicks the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Special terms

Ferries are free for pedestrians and run during the morning and afternoon from Svolvær. We recommend parking your car in the free parking lot just next to the ferry harbour in Svolvaer before boarding the ferry. The meeting point is then situated very close to the harbour on Skrova Island.

Please note that all participants use double kayaks during this excursion. You will therefore be sharing with another person (if alone, this may be the guide).

Dry suits are available at no additional cost on rainy or cold days.
