SEK
On a Self guided tour you’re on your own adventure, but with plenty of support from us. You get all the paddling gear you need, we will give you a solid review of both equipment and paddling route over a coffee before setting off. Then we will come and pick you up, your friends and all the equipment when you’re finished. No backtracking. Easy and convenient.
You can choose to paddle three, four, five, six or seven days. If you need camping equipment you can rent a camping package from us. It has never been easier to find a great paddling adventure.
Southern route
A Self guided sea kayaking tour along the southern route is a fabulously beautiful journey through a varied coastal landscape. You start in a lush, green and relatively weather-protected inner archipelago environment in the fjordlands area, before the paddling takes you to the rugged and rocky outer archipelago, with charming fishing communities and horizon feel. You will meet steep rock walls, inviting sandy beaches, colonies of sea birds, spectacular sunsets and deserted islands to stay overnight. Perhaps you will also get close contact with Bohuslän’s landscape animal, the harbor seal. The southern route also gives you many alternatives, where much of the paddling takes place, or can take place, on relatively weather-protected waters. Perfect if any or a few days offer windy conditions.
Dates
You can start your Self guided tour any day between May 1 and September 30.

Time & Place
You start your Self guided tour from our kayak center at 09.00 on departure day. Before you launch we give you a thorough review of the equipment and paddling route. When you have finished your kayaking we pick you up at 15.00 last day. This means that we are back in time for you to wash your equipment and take off around 17.00.
Please note that our times are fixed. Make sure to plan your travel itinerary to fit them. Other times can be agreed on request, to an additional cost.
Previous experience
You need not be an experienced kayaker, but we recommend that you at least have some paddling experience to go on a Self guided tour. If you have never paddled before, we suggest you take a basic course or a private lesson with us before setting off. We do, also, assume that you are able to swim and that you are at least 15 years old, or paddle in the company of a responsible adult.
