What to expect
The late fall and winter months are some of the best seasons to kayak around Tromsø. The water is crystal clear, the air is crisp and clean and the early afternoon sunsets are beyond beautiful. It begins with the bright colours of fall, with white tipped peaks, until the landscape is covered in white.
Upon arrival at our basecamp, we suit up in drysuits, receive a safety briefing and short introduction to kayaking technique and begin our adventure kayaking our way through the sounds, islands and archipelagos covered in snow. Even though the Arctic winter is cold and unforgiving, a large amount of wildlife is thriving in the food rich areas up here, both under and over the sea surface.
In the darkest period from the middle of november to end of january we are all about polar nights with the stars twinkling 24 hours a day.
After the tour, return to basecamp to warm up by the fire with hot drinks and snacks while sharing stories from the day.
