What Our Guests Are Saying
Frequently asked questions
Winter temperatures vary in Sweden so layers are the key! You will be provided with the drysuit and boots which will keep you dry but you still need good layers under to stay warm. Avoid cotton and seek for synthetic and thermal clothing. Wear warm thermal underwear as a base layer and tights and fleece as a middle layer. Remember to keep your feet and head warm – wear double socks, preferably wool and a warm hat. You should also have sunglasses on a sunny day. If you wear prescription glasses we also recommend using a strap.
Please don’t wear jewelry, you will have to remove bracelets, watch, earrings and rings before wearing the drysuit.
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!
In winter, we provide drysuits. In other months, we have waterproof kayak jackets available in case of rain. During thunderstorms or very strong winds, we may have to cancel or reschedule tours for safety reasons.
Most of our tours are beginner friendly and prior kayaking experience is not necessary. Good general physical condition, ability to swim and taste for adventure is enough to join the group.
