What Our Guests Are Saying
Frequently asked questions
Outdoor clothes should be chosen based on the weather forecast. Avoid cotton and opt for quick-drying fabrics or merino wool instead. Quick-dry hiking pants or shorts, a thermal top, and wet shoes or sandals with proper straps (shoes you don’t mind getting wet) are recommended. Make sure to pack a fleece too, just in case it gets chilly later in the day.
Kayaking is an adventure in any weather. In Sweden, we say, ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.’ You’ll be amazed at how enjoyable it can be to paddle, rain or shine (though let’s hope for more shine!). Just make sure to wear the right outdoor clothing and remember, you might get wet even when it’s not raining – that’s just part of the kayaking experience!
Additionally, we provide wind and waterproof kayak jackets. During thunderstorms or very strong winds, we may have to cancel or reschedule tours for safety reasons.
If it’s your first time in a kayak, we recommend booking our beginner-friendly sunset kayaking or half-day tour.
