    Fab experience

    Had a brilliant kayaking experience with Jenni. Great host and beautiful lake. Saw lots of seals who were curious about the kayak but we kept a respectable distance for the welfare of the seals which was great. Fab photos and accommodating to everyone even if you haven’t kayaked before!

    Amazing experience with a glimpse to local life

    Had an amazing experience with a glimpse into local life on Kvaløya. The kayaking was effortless and smooth, making it accessible for everyone. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience felt truly unique. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the adventure even more memorable.

    Well worth booking!

    Well-organized experience with beautiful views. Saw plenty of wildlife, and the equipment kept us warm.

    A unique experience--do not miss it!

    Jenni was such a wonderful guide. She runs this business (which she created!) so she is an absolute expert, and she's also just an all around kind human. She provided us with all the gear we needed to stay warm and dry (though I would also recommend bringing hand warmers for your hands and feet if you go out on a particularly cold day or if you generally get cold easily). You have access to a bathroom before and after you go out on the kayaks. We saw a few curious seals following behind us and one person even saw an otter (and we all later saw otter tracks when we stopped for our snack and hot beverage)! We had to break through ice that had formed over the shoreline to take the kayaks out onto the water, which only added to the cool experience. The views were stunning and the water was crystal clear. Jenni took some photos and videos during our excursion, which she sent to us afterwards. Do not pass up this unique experience!

    Best activity in Tromso

    Had an amazing time at this kayaking tour. Jenni was the perfect guide through our journey and made everything seem super easy (even though we did this activity in December, with such cold weather!)! We were able to see seals which made the whole experience even better. But to be fair the kayaking tour is already worth it just for the landscape!

    A must do!

    This was an amazing trip and everything was perfectly organised! Jenni the guide was super knowledgeable and really welcoming, she even took pictures of us in the kayaks so we didn’t need to take our phones on the water. Thank you!

    Fabulous Arctic Kayaking Tour - Definitely Recommend

    Michael_S, Nov 2023
    Kayaking with Jenni was a fabulous experience - as others have said, it was such a unique excursion and our guide was very warm and the entire time in our small group (6 total) it was a personalized and hands-on experience. We got to see spirited seals and otters play, as well as starfish and others in the crystal clear water below. For sure it was cold, but Jenni had extra socks and flannels and other accoutrements if you happened to be chilly. The kayaking itself was serene and we even had a little snack and hot currant juice on an islet. 100% recommend - a great half-day experience.

    Terrific day kayaking !

    Kayaking with Jenni was terrific! We spent a few hours on the water- saw many seals- and enjoyed the calm day. She had extra socks and scarves for us to keep warm under dry suits. We felt safe and had a terrific day! Highly recommend.

    Incredible

    This was a beautiful and exciting way to see the fiords! We got to see seals swimming next to us and the views were incredible. Our guide was also outstanding and helpful throughout the trip!

    What a once in a life time beautiful experience

    Janell_F, Oct 2023
    This was such a lovely experience! The captian (local Norwegian) and his wife (American) took absolute amazing care of us. The yacht is pristine and beautiful. The soup and bread was delicious and filling. She even made us more bread upon request as I don't eat meat. The hot tub was perfectly warm and I love that each couple got alone time of their own. We did get to see the northern lights but they were very faint. It's clear how much these two love their jobs and lives doing what they do best, taking care of those who are coming for a once in a life time experience in beautiful Norway. Don't miss out on booking this tour!!!!

    Seals swimming next to us. Peacefullness of the sea. Being in the arctic ocean and feeling the tranquility of the water and witnessing the birds, the seal, the weather
