Your Half-Day Winter Kayak Tour in Nordland, Norway

Experience the quiet power of the ocean as you paddle along the frozen coastline of Lofoten in winter - when the crowds have left and the fjords and islands feel entirely yours; you’ll explore scenic fjords and paddle northeast around beautiful “frozen” islands, listening to waves, the splash of kayaks, and the call of sea birds while your guide shares stories about life and nature in Nordland. Kayaking in Norway during the colder season brings you closer to nature than many other activities, and it’s accessible even if you’ve never kayaked before - 99% of our guests are first-timers. We provide delicious snacks and hot drinks to keep your energy up as you rest, watch wildlife from your kayak, and take in the peaceful, restorative views that make this remote winter paddle a uniquely uplifting Outdoor & Nature and Adventure & Thrill experience.

Summary: Amazing experience with great communication, especially as someone who's never kayaked before! We stopped halfway on the islands for some hot drinks and biscuits. I didn't want to take my phone but the guides took loads of photos and videos of us so wasn't missing out, and the views in Eggum are stunning. Would highly recommend!
