5.00This was my first kayaking trip and it was absolutely unforgettable. Rune explained everything very clearly and made me feel safe. I got the hang of it quickly and felt very relaxed. I really enjoyed paddling along the shoreline with Anna. We spotted a seal along the way. The scenery, turquoise waters and tranquility made the evening magical. I highly recommend it!!🩵
Perfect activity for kids!

5.00My 4 year old sun had such a wonderful experience joining a guided kayak tour with Rune. Rune were professional and knowledgeable, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time. My son absolutely loved the adventure, and it was a perfect way to introduce him to kayaking in a fun and secure environment. I can highly recommend this tour for kids and families as anyone who wants to enjoy nature from the water in Lofoten with great guidance and support.
Kayaking in the Fjords of Lofoten

5.00Kayaking in the fjords of Lofoten is truly a breathtaking experience. Being surrounded by mountains on either sides and watching the sunset being on the water makes this an activity which should not be missed during your vacation in the Lofoten Islands. Coming to the experience we had with Lofoten Guiding, our guide Rune was extremely welcoming. Initially he gave us a briefing of the basics, the route and what to do in case of an emergency. While kayaking he was extremely encouraging and even helped us out as and when required. During the kayaking one of the pedals that controlled the rudder broke which made it challenging to direct the kayak, and Rune helped tow the kayak to shore. Even though our session was running a little long, Rune chose to give us his time and ensure we had a lovely experience.
