Sommarøy is a sea kayaking paradise known for crystal clear water, white beaches and lots of small islands and sounds teeming with seabirds and marine wildlife. Kayaking is one of the best ways to explore this area, as you come as close as you can get to the surrounding nature and elements.

The transfer out there will take you across the 4th largest island in Norway, Kvaløya and is a beatiful drive over mountain ranges and along the fjords.

After getting suited up in drysuits (the water is still pretty cold during the summer) and kayak gear, the guide takes you out on a tour around the best kayaking spots in the area, choosing a route depending on the wind and weather conditions. On the way look out for eider ducklings, arctic terns, black guillemots, sea otters, and sea eagles. After kayaking for about 45-60 minutes, we go ashore on a white beach to stretch our legs, have a warm drink and explore the tidal zone a bit.

After a short break, we continue our kayak tour, kayaking through shallow sandy grounds, through narrow and sheltered sounds before eventually arriving back at our guide centre.

This tour is suitable for beginners, and no previous experience is needed. You will normally kayak steady double kayaks, however, if you have previous kayaking experience, you can be given a single kayak on request.

Our guides are local and certified kayak instructors, having long experience of kayaking around the area. During the tour they will tell you about the local history, culture, nature and anything other you might have questions about:)

After the tour you will have an hour to explore the fishing village by foot on your own before return to city centre of Tromsø.
