Not a chance – unless you show up in shorts! 😄

You’ll be equipped with a top-quality drysuit, neoprene boots, and paddling gloves to keep you dry. Just wear warm thermal layers underneath (go for wool or synthetics) and you’re good to go.

And the best part? After the tour, you can warm up like a true Viking in our wood-fired sauna 🔥 (optional but highly recommended!)

Dress in layers! We provide a drysuit and boots, but you’ll need warm thermal underwear, fleece or tights as mid-layers, and wool socks and a hat to stay cozy. Avoid cotton—go for synthetic or wool. Bring sunglasses on sunny days, and use a strap for prescription glasses. Please remove all jewelry before putting on the drysuit.

• Outdoor clothes: warm thermal underwear (tights and a long sleeve), hiking pants or another pair of tights, long sleeve fleece
• Warm socks (preferably wool)
• A warm hat
• Sunglasses
• Optional: towel for the sauna (or rent on-site)

Absolutely! This tour is beginner-friendly, and your guide will give you a quick introduction before we start. The waters are calm, making it a great experience even for first-time paddlers. However, a moderate level of physical fitness is recommended.

We mainly use 2-person kayaks as they’re easy to paddle and perfect for most participants. If you’re paddling solo and have experience, you may be given a 1-person kayak. In case of an odd number of participants, we may pair up people to ensure everyone has a great experience. Our guide will assist with this! 😊

We don’t offer hotel pick-up, except for private group bookings upon request. But don’t worry—getting here is simple! Just follow the steps below, and you’ll be on your way to an amazing adventure. 🚣✨
