Kayak More Tomorrow is a sea kayaking outfitter based in Brønnøysund, Nordland, that designs and operates multi-day paddling experiences along Norway’s coastline. It offers guided and self-guided trips ranging from short island hops to extended exploratory expeditions across the Arctic Circle. The company runs five-day journeys through the Lofoten Islands with traditional lodges; five-day Western Arctic Fjords trips including approximately 60 miles of paddling and wild camping; seven-day fjord passages combining mountain farms and coastal camping; three-day island-and-lighthouse paddles around Ålesund to Ona Lighthouse; and a 30-day Nordland exploratory route beginning in Brønnøysund and continuing north to the Lofoten archipelago.
Self-guided sea kayak trips include personalized route planning and safety briefings, with emphasis on rock gardens, sandy beaches, and wildlife such as seals. Sea Kayak Master Classes are led by Jonathan Bendiksen, an outdoor leader with four decades of international experience, providing tailored instruction to improve paddling technique, rescue skills, and expedition planning.
Trips emphasize safety, local knowledge, and environmental respect. Logistics include provisioning for camping and accommodations in lodges and historic mountain farms; guided hikes and cultural visits are part of selected itineraries. Tailor-made adventures allow adjustment of itinerary, pace, and difficulty for individual groups.
