Join us for a great experience in a spectacular Arctic environment!

The Salten region is known for its white sand beaches, protected islands and mountainous coastline.

Clear azul waters, reminiscent of the Caribbean allow you to view fish and other sea life at depth right from your kayak. With the Coastal Range as your backdrop and the Lofoten islands form the western horizon.

You’re literally paddling inside a 360 degree panorama of glacially sculpted granite peaks.

Midway through this trip we’ll stop at the 100 year old Tranøy Lighthouse for a night’s lodging in the historic light keepers quarters.

Previous sea kayaking experience is not necessary. This area has more sandy beaches than the Lofoten and Vesterålen Islands. We will help you become a safe and comfortable paddler and camper!

If you are into fishing ... this might be the trip for you! Saithe, halibut, salmon and cod are waiting in the clear water.
