This peaceful, two-hour kayaking trip takes in the natural beauty for which the Lofoten archipelago is so famous. As you paddle, look out for the famous rorbu (red fishing huts) that dot the waterside – a true Lofoten icon. As you go, your guide will share stories about the area’s history, culture, and wildlife.
