"Firstly, this was a truly amazing experience in a beautiful part of the world - it will be an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. Having looked around many companies that offer sea-kayaking, this is one of the few trips which allows you to be self-guided, and we really appreciated having this opportunity. The self-guided element meant that we were allowed to travel at our own pace, something that was particularly useful on our trip, as although I have quite extensive canoeing experience, my wife did not, and it allowed her the opportunity to 'learn the ropes' at her own pace.
"The hire company in Gustafsberg were great - extremely helpful and genuinely nice people - there was no pressure placed on us, and Ulrika was particularly helpful - we left on our first morning feeling very reassured and comfortable with the 3 days ahead. This was extemely helpful, as we had bad weather forecast for the second day, and she reassured us that all would be fine, and that if we felt the water was too choppy, then we could give the day a miss, and could call to arrange collection from another point.
"I also have to thank Bob for all his help - every time we had a query or question, he came up with an answer - amazing! I would thoroughly recommend you to my friends and family and we look forward to booking another trip through you in the near future.
"In terms of advice for other people travelling on this trip - remember to get some water for the trip - depending on which way you travel through the fjords it may be difficult to get hold of en route, get hold of some good midge repellent, and finally - book this trip! Thanks again for a great experience." Bryony and Craig, August 2009
"...the wild camping each night was great. The service we received in Sweden was far beyond what we expected, nothing was too much trouble and we were made very welcome. Obviously with any hire company we weren't sure what would be waiting for us when we arrived but we were both impressed by the equipment provided. Proper charts in Ortlieb waterproof cases really showed how professional they were. We'll be back again, maybe in doubles with our partners, fantastic." Timothy, June 2009
"Too many [highlights] to choose from. Definitely be up for sea kayaking again." Iain, June 2009
