About
Paddling with the midnight sun is a unique experience that we can only do inside the polar circle. This gives us the chance to go kayaking in the evening when the sun goes down but never over the horizon.
On the bright summer nights, we can paddle close to the coastline and small islands while enjoying homemade tea and stories about the Vikings. It’s a great time to observe seabirds and the wonderful colors of the sky.
For this trip, it’s not necessary to have any previous experience. 99% of our guests never kayaked before.
