“Wonderful tour with great hosts. Would highly recommemd but just consider that it is definitely a workout. Especially if it is a windy day the waves can be quite high. We did take double kayaks so that was a bit easier. Also the lunch was nice and fun to watch it be cooked over the campfire. Also it was not a full 8 hours of kayaking and a good amount of breaks in between.”

The water is super clean and clear, we could see the bottom of the water. Viktor is a very nice guide that he prepared lots of food and drinks for us during the trip. He also cares a lot about whether we enjoy the trip and adjust the trip. Overall, I enjoyed the kayaking experience a lot.”
