We will explore the stunning beauty of the inner archipelago by kayak in the Bogesund Nature Reserve. This peaceful and picturesque route is perfect for families looking to enjoy a relaxing and scenic outdoor adventure.###
Is a safe and calm route, the sheltered waters of this route, free from heavy ferry traffic and large vessels, make it ideal for beginners. It’s a perfect place for a relaxed kayaking trip, complete with an outdoor picnic. There are also several great spots for swimming!.
The plan is to take it easy — the main goal is to enjoy the ride. We’ll make stops along the way for swimming and a picnic.
We will be kayaking at an easy pace for approximately 5-6 hours. We'll aim to use tandem kayaks, as they are generally more stable, and we’ll try to pair people based on experience and physical condition.
