wp-block-t2-post-title\">Kayak trip- Half day with Lofoten Aktiv<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-spots-for-paddling\">Best spots for paddling?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you manage to get out and feel the splash of the waves and the sea wind against the boat and your face, you will probably agree that most places around Lofoten are a bit nicer from a kayak. Nevertheless, we have tried to pick out the areas we like best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reine<\/strong>: Reinefjorden is surrounded by high mountains and is therefore sheltered from much of the weather and wind. In Reine, you can join a kayak tour with Reine Paddling or Reine Rorbuer if you don&#8217;t have prior experience. You can paddle all the way to Kjerkfjorden or Vindstad, which is the starting point for a hike to the hidden gem Bunessanden. Find kayaking providers in Reine <a href=\"https:\/\/visitlofoten.com\/en\/activity\/?_cbis_product_taxonomy=kayak-trip&amp;_wp_destination_taxonomy=reine\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ballstad<\/strong>: Ballstad is shielded from the sea by many small islands. No matter where you look, the iconic Skottind will capture much of your attention. In Ballstad, you can join Lofoten Diving on a kayak tour in beautiful nature. They also offer other year-round water-based experiences, such as snorkeling and diving, which can be combined. Find kayaking providers in Ballstad <a href=\"https:\/\/visitlofoten.com\/en\/activity\/?_cbis_product_taxonomy=kayak-trip&amp;_wp_destination_taxonomy=ballstad\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggum<\/strong>: The small fishing village of Eggum is located on the outer side of Lofoten, making it a perfect place to kayak in the midnight sun or under the northern lights. The archipelago at Eggum has several islets and skerries suitable for both experienced and novice kayakers. At Eggum, you will find Northern Explorer, which offers various guided kayak tours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sandvika and \u00d8rsv\u00e5gv\u00e6r<\/strong>: The archipelago outside Kabelv\u00e5g offers many possibilities depending on how far you want to paddle. There are several islets, coves, and beaches to explore. Lofoten Aktiv and XXLofoten offer guided tours in the area, suitable for both experienced paddlers and families with children. Find kayaking providers in the area <a href=\"https:\/\/visitlofoten.com\/en\/activity\/?_cbis_product_taxonomy=kayak-trip&amp;_wp_destination_taxonomy=vagan\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Svolv\u00e6r<\/strong>: The harbor in Svolv\u00e6r is a perfect place for beginners in kayaking. Here you paddle between fishing boats, through narrow straits, and in the archipelago just outside the town. XXLofoten takes you on summer and winter tours in Svolv\u00e6r. If you want a full-day tour, Lofoten Aktiv will pick you up here and take you to the beautiful Trollfjorden. Trollfjorden is a small and narrow fjord arm in Raftsundet, surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the area. Find kayaking providers in the area <a href=\"https:\/\/visitlofoten.com\/en\/activity\/?_cbis_product_taxonomy=kayak-trip&amp;_wp_destination_taxonomy=vagan\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skrova<\/strong>: The small island of Skrova is located out in the open sea, surrounded by several small islands and skerries with beautiful beaches and clear water. Here you can join <a href=\"https:\/\/visitlofoten.com\/en\/activity\/?_cbis_product_taxonomy=kayak-trip&amp;_wp_destination_taxonomy=skrova\">Skrova Kayak<\/a> Adventures to paddle in the archipelago and experience the midnight sun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fdcfc74e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/visitlofoten.com\/en\/activity\/?_cbis_product_taxonomy=kayak-trip\">SEE ALL KAYAKING EXPERIENCES HERE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always think about safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safety is always important, especially when heading out to sea in a small boat like a kayak. Consequently, it\u2019s an obvious requirement that everyone who paddles in Lofoten follows the Norwegian Maritime Authority\u2019s padlevettreglene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are an experienced paddler and have a Wet Card, you have the option of renting a kayak and other gear and plan your trip. However, if you don\u2019t have previous kayaking experience, an organised kayaking trip will suit you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-factbox wp-block-t2-factbox\" id=\"t2-factbox\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-factbox__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-factbox__blocks t2-factbox__inner-container is-layout-flow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paddling-safety-guidelines\">Paddling safety guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a boat that suits your skills and the trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check that the equipment is in order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dress according to the water temperature. Bring extra clothing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always wear an approved paddling vest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not overestimate your own abilities. Practice rescue techniques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you capsize, do not leave the boat or paddle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect the weather and wind, and check the weather forecast before going out in a kayak or canoe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep a good distance from other boats. Make sure you are seen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn lifesaving techniques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be environmentally conscious. Show consideration for nature.
