From SEK 2'600
Enjoy the sunset and Lysekil by night!
As the sun sets northwest of Lysekil everything calms down. Boats are fewer and the colours are magnificent.
The guide will give you an introduction to paddle techniques and navigation in darkness and assist your entering and alighting the kayak. For safety reasons the age limit is 13 years and minimum 160 cm. You will paddle in a steady tandem kayak. Starting late september we will offer drysuits.
* Sunset
From late June the sun sets earlier every week and our departures will start earlier as days get shorter. Normally this tour start at Havsbadsparken and head north. On the way we pass the spectacular Stångehuvud Nature reserve. If the group wants we may head out into the archipelago. The wind direction, speed and the wave amplitude will limit what is possible.
* Bioluminescense
By the end of August, to mid September, chances to experience bioluminiscencent algea increases. They will glow as water is swirling around the paddle blades. Some nights it's sparkling, other nights nothing at all. There is no way of telling in advance. We'll head out as the sun is about to set, returning when it's pitch dark. As bioluminescence is hard to see when it is windy we recommend you to add the 48 hrs "cancellation insurance".
* Full moon
Your best chance to see a really full moon is a late departure these evenings: May 12, June 10, July 10, August 8, Sept 7, Oct 6. But, as weather conditions have to be perfect we also schedule departures 1-2 days before and after.
