The Royal Kingdom of Sweden
Sweden is known for Volvo, Saab, Absolute Vodka, Ingmar Bergman and the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi. We are proud of all this, but more so we treasure our incredible forests, our vast archipelagos and our pristine glaciated mountains. Clean air, beautiful historic cities, friendly people and strong traditions are a few things people link with Sweden.
We offer sea kayaking Inn Trips along the west coast of Sweden in the Bohuslän (Bo-hoos-lan) Archipelago. This coastline contains thousands of islands and skerries with a myriad of pelagic birds, seals and picturesque fishing villages – making it a sea kayaking paradise! You can either go on a camping expedition where a new island becomes our home each night or you can join a Inn Trip where we stay at a Guesthouse and just do day trips.
In the far north, above the Arctic Circle you can enjoy Mountain Treks with reindeer. In the region known as Lappland, live the traditional reindeer herding people known as the Saami. Together with the Saami and their reindeer (used as pack animals) you can hike and experience the Saami lifestyle in this unspoiled wilderness.
In the winter you can join the Saami during the Reindeer migration. If reindeer isn’t your thing … but you are a skier then join a hut-to-hut trip in the High Country of Sweden.

Norway – Land of Vikings and Trolls
Norway is home to Trolls and Vikings, cross country skiers, great composers and artists. Norway is also the home of such successful explorers as Nansen, Amundsen and Heyerdahl. Their exploratory feats offer inspiration as we paddle the fjords and coastal islands of the Norwegian Sea.
Most of our Camping Expeditions and Inn Trips take place more than a hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle. The Lofoten Islands, the Salten Coast and the Vesterålen Islands are all characterized by steep and rugged mountains, deep fjords, great fishing and white sandy beaches. These sparsely populated areas are also home to some of Norway’s largest pelagic bird colonies.
Our Lofoten Multi Adventure Trip is a favorite. This trip is for people of all ages who want to partake in a variety of cultural and outdoor activities such as bird watching, day hiking, sea kayaking day trips, fishing and visiting local museums and historic sites. We travel to different villages by vehicle or by boat, stay in comfortable guesthouses or rorbus (traditional fishermen cabins) and enjoy the cuisine at local restaurants.
We do have space available on the Lofoten Multi-Adventure Trip this summer. The Trip Dates are June 20-27 – prime Midnightsun time! Email us for detailed Trip Description.
In central Norway lies the Jotunheimen National Park. Jotunheimen, which means the “Home of the Giants”, contains some of the highest peaks in Europe north of the Alps. Hoist your day pack and join us day trekking through the most spectacular mountain range in Scandinavia!
A popular Multi-Adventure Trip is the “Norway in a Nutshell” Trip where we start and end in Oslo. In between you get to hike in the Jotunheimen National Park and Sea Kayak on the Sognefjord – the longest and deepest fjord in Europe!

Sweden, Norway, Greece and Beyond …
Crossing Latitudes has offered Sea Kayaking Trips in Mexico, Honduras, Alaska, Greenland and Croatia. Every once in a while we might offer a trip to one of these areas – who doesn’t want to go back to Alaska and enjoy the wildlife and beauty of Prince William Sound.
If you are interested in any of these places please let us know. Maybe we will organize a trip or we will be glad to connect you with friends in the Outdoor Adventure Travel industry that we trust.
Don’t hesitate to email us and ask if we have a trip planned!
