Day 1
The Bohuslän archipelago

Meet your guide and the rest of your team in Gustafsberg, Uddevalla and after a safety and navigation briefing head to the launch point on the beautiful Bohuslän Archipelago. Paddle out, discover hidden passages, sandy beaches and natural rock formations and lose yourself amongst the region's 8,000 islands – most of them uninhabited. As the evening draws in, choose a secluded spot to set up camp, pitch your tent and cook dinner over the fire as you watch the sunset over the sea.

Have some breakfast, break camp and then get back on the water while developing your kayaking skills with the help of your expert guide. Continue exploring this maze of islets and stop for lunch on a remote beach – be on the lookout for seals. Set up camp on another deserted island, take an evening swim and relax around the campfire.
Day 3
The outer archipelago
Kayaking5hrsBreakfast and lunch includedShow Day 3 detailHide detail
After another campfire breakfast, head to the exposed outer archipelago and a wide, blue horizon. The islands here will give you a different perspective on the whole coastline – wilder and more rugged. The water might also be slightly choppier as you near the open sea, but you'll be in safe hands. Make your way back to the rendezvous point, where you’ll say goodbye to your guide and team before heading to the airport and home.
