Recommended even for inexperienced like us. Lucio was eager to help even when a problem occurred. We stopped at a beautiful spot and had great time.

We were blessed with the absolute best conditions for this trip. Our wonderful guide, Israel, took great pictures of our group kayaking and shared them with us once we beached. A truly fabulous experience! We also had a great hamburger and fish & chips at the little Eggum takeaway container at the end of the road, by the WWII radar ruins.

Such a wonderful experience. Whilst this tour accommodated a large group of people the tour guides had their way to make us feel like we’re the only ones on the water. Certainly dress up nice and warm, as it can get cold. Such a lovely experience. Thank you to the awesome guides and tour.

Lucio was an awesome tour guide and his insight and light-heartedness made the trip all the more fun. Even if you’ve never kayaked before, I still recommend trying this out! Truly a once a unique experience!

Had a really great time. Couldn't see a beautiful sunset because of the weather, but the guides made the whole trip a really nice experience. We totally enjoyed it. They are really friendly and nice people. We had a lot of laughter and fun. So we can totally recommend it. Enjoyed every second.

The weather was perfect. Calm glassy water making the kayak trip super enjoyable. A perfect view of the midnight sunset. The days are beginning to get shorter, but there was still plenty of light when we arrived back at the harbor perfectly timed at 1 am. Our guides, Israel and Lucio, were patient, informative and pleasant to chat with while paddling. They took 63 photos of the group while paddling and shared with everyone. I highly recommend this memorable experience.

We had a terrific time with Santi as our guide. Lots of interesting facts and stories. All seasons in one day too of course 😂

It was just awesome! Israel and Louis were so wonderful…so personable. Great safety brief; took lots of photos of everyone paddling; provided tea and cookies on a break; gave us local history and pointed out wildlife. Got to see eagles, baby sea gulls and an owl! Our guides were very respectful of the wildlife. Very easy to get to the meeting point and plenty of parking. We highly recommend you stay up and do this fun trip!

It was a lifetime experience. My husband was nervous because he can't swim, but I was so glad that the instructor calmed him down. We ended up having a great time. The water was calm, the surroundings were peaceful, and the midnight sun was so beautiful.

Really enjoyable trip, Israel our guide was very helpful and great guide. We covered a decent distance and had fun.
Was a bit cloudy so no midnight sun but didn’t matter.
A bit more info on what to take with/wear would have been helpful.
Would recommend.

Amazing tour! The whole experience was wonderful. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the tea and cookie break on an island with a view out into the North Sea was the topper on an unbelievable experience.

We were a group of 13 people from the age of 8 to 70. They worked well with the diverse levels of experience and fitness. It was cloudy so we did not see the “midnight sun“, however, it was still a gorgeous kayaking route. Our guide, Lucio, was friendly and helpful and really made it a great experience. It was chilly so if you book this trip, make sure to bring layers, including a waterproof outer layer and hat and gloves! Thank you for a creating another memorable highlight for our trip!

Great experience. Even though the sky was covered with clouds during our session, showing no midnight sun, it was superfun. Good and funny guides as well. Well worth it.

It’s was very nice actually, one of my best activities in my life . Specially my hotel was in Svolvaer and I had to come by a taxi and it’s cost me 180€ one round from Svolvaer to the meeting point .
But it’s really deserving..
the two guys was so kindly and they were so nice .

Kayaking was the most beautiful way to experience the midnight sun. The guides were excellent and made it a most memorable experience.
Usha_A, Jun 2023
We started the kayak at 10pm with a sunny start. It was a lovely experience with a good group of people and our guide Lucas was brilliant! Towards the end of the session, weather turned on us a bit and the kayak became a bit more adventurous than we had anticipated. We ended up finishing at 2am rather than 1am due to strong winds. However, with the expert guidance of Lucas and team we made it back safe, although quite wet (don’t forget to wear waterproofs). Definitely would recommend and you may even get an adventure if the Nordic weather gods will it!

We booked this based on the description, since there were many kayaking options available. However, we were lied to about the maximum 10 people (there were 18), there were no Viking stories, and only 1 thermos of tea to split between 16 guests and 2 guides. The snack is ONE biscuit. The wind gloves were not clean and smell TERRIBLE. Our sleeves and hands still smell like rancid gym socks and shoes the entire car ride home, and they did not offer hand sanitizer. With 16 guests, it was impossible to stick close together as requested, and there were a lot of traffic jams and bumping into each other. We spent much of the time just sitting and not paddling, to stick with the group. Way too slow. The guides were friendly but in all honestly, you are better off renting a kayak somewhere else and doing your own adventure. 1700KR was a ripoff.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hi! We are sorry teed your comment about our tour. However we didn’t no lie about out the group size: 10x person/ guide. As your group had 16x person you’d two guides for safety. One thermos of the was definitely not the case because that would be enough for 4x person. The snack is a biscuit ( nothing else was promised), but you could take more then one if you were hungry. However it’s a kayak tour with some snack and not a snack tour with some kayaking. The speed of the group is adjusted the level of the group. That’s always the risk if you book a group tour. But if you are an experienced kayaker or want to paddle as much as possible then I would recommend for the next time to contact the company first to see which tour they would recommend you. The midnight sun kayak tour with snacks and hot drinks where no experience is needed does not sounds the most challenging tour:)
Also Norway has NO COVID RESTRICTIONS AT ALL so we do not have to offer hand sanitizer to anyone. Before COVID nobody offered it neither. However you forgot to mention that you did receive the hand sanitizer when you ask your guide.
The smell of a neopren gloves it’s unfortunately something what we can not change as we have to clean them with a special liquid for hygienic reason. We prefer a bad smell then skin illnesses.
Best regards,
Northern Explorer

Awesome experience , incredible feeling of paddling in broad daylight when it was midnight. A very professional guide, who explains a lot about Lofoten and who is also super nice without afterthought ( did not even want the tip proposed and yet richly deserved.
