Winter Sea Kayaking Tour from Sommarøy

General information

This tour is operated by Sommarøy Adventure.

Sommarøy is one of Northern Norway’s most beautiful island areas and a popular kayaking destination among locals. After picking you up in Tromsø, we will drive to Sommarøy, where your guide will provide all the necessary equipment and give you a safety briefing before you take to the water.

Together, you will paddle through quiet bays, past snow-covered beaches and around small islands that can only be reached by kayak or boat. Along the way, you may spot sea eagles and other local wildlife. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the peaceful winter scenery, including a stop for a well-earned break. Your local guide will also share stories about Sommarøy’s fishing history, wildlife and everyday life.

If you would like to improve your paddling skills, simply ask your guide. Stable double kayaks are normally used, but experienced paddlers may request a single kayak. Kayak allocation will be decided on site.

After paddling approximately 5 km, you will return to shore, hand back the equipment and travel back to Tromsø city centre.
