Do you want to experience the stunning nature and mountains from seas? Be surprised how crystal clear the water is and how much life there is under water as well? And maybe even see seals from a kayak, which are living in the bay this tour is taking you. Kayaking in arctic, year-round is an unforgettable experience. During wintertime kayaking is still possible and locals do it a lot! With right gear you will be warm and cozy inside the kayak, while enjoying white mountains and stunning polar night colors around you!

We like to keep the amount of participants low, so that you have a better possibility to experience the quiet nature and feel relaxed. Your guide is local, living in the area year around .

This tour is real eco-friendly! Located in Håkøybotn, Kvaløya island, where you arrive together with your guide with local buss from Tromsø city and after the tour guiding you back to the nearest bus stop. You can also arrive with your own car.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

We'll meet outside of the main entrance at Radisson Blue Hotel (Sjøgata 7) at 8.45 a.m. Sometimes google maps may lead you to the wrong side of the building, so you just need to go around the building as long as you meet the main entrance.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

Before jumping into the kayak, your guide will introduce all the needed gear for you and give you an introduction how we safely do a kayaking tour. So you do not need to have earlier kayaking experience. Kayaking is also absolutely the best activity on a rainy day! When wearing a drysuit and sitting cosy inside the kayak, it is nice to listen and follow raindrops jumping on a water surface.

After introduction we will start our tour and enjoy the magnificent nature around and under us. On the bay we are kayaking, is a lot of seals and we have a possibility to follow their life as well (We cannot promise 100% that we are meeting the seals, but so far we've seen them on every tour :)! On a halfway on a tour, we will have a short break with warm drink and a snack, which are included to the tour. Kayaks we are using are either double or single kayaks (some cases). Please notice that there are some restrictions on this trip for safety reasons. You must be able to swim and communicate in English. Due to the size of the kayaks and dry suits, participants must be 158-195 cm tall and have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less.
