The Lofoten Islands offers some of the best paddling in Norway!
On this expedition we paddle through glacially carved fjords surrounded by snow covered peaks and low forested islands formed by glacial moraines. In Øksfjord well paddle by picture postcard settlements clinging to the steep mountainsides.
At the end of Øksfjord you can hike through a spectacular alpine environment with gushing waterfalls and hanging glacial valleys surrounded by snow covered peaks.
We hope to explore this remote wilderness by foot for a day and then ride the outgoing tide enroute to the Svellingen Archipelago.
Previous paddling experience is not necessary though some stamina and endurance are required due to the distances between camps (averaging 10-15 nautical miles per day).
The Lofoten Islands Sea Kayaking Camping Expedition is one of our favorite trips.
