Outdoor West Rock Art after dark

Rock Art after dark

Join us on an exciting ride after dark. Some petroglyphs are best seen when it is dark. Especially the ones that aren't painted. With the right lighting, they can seem to float in the air. You will learn more about the Bronze Age, when the petroglyphs were made, and about the latest research into the trading contacts and world view of the Bohusländers. The world heritage site of Tanum (an hour's drive north) is certainly better known, but the petroglyph environment of Backa is unique. Here there are about 30 small and large premises within a small area along the old village road, which is often called the "Via Sacra of the Rocks". Here is the world's earliest documented petroglyph: The Shoemaker. There are also many unusual and some unique motifs here, and along the road there are also a number of outcrops that are not painted. Lökeberg (in Munkedal) is the largest rock carving panel in this area, and is exceptionally good for visits in the dark. Guide Wictoria has a keen interest in the Bronze Age and follows current research. With the help of the rock carvings' varied motifs, she gives you an insight into the world of thought, religion and everyday life of Bronze Age people. Must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. At least 4 participants (or a group). The guidance takes place in Swedish or English (with summaries in EN/SV if necessary). The guide has a voice amplifier and will bring several torches and headlights. A wheelchair/stroller ramp leads up to the main panel at Backa, which is surrounded by a wooden deck with seating.   Rock Art - after dark Season:   August-May (time varies, as the sun sets earlier or later)   Place A: Backa, Brastad (Lysekil municipality) Duration A: 60 min i Backa, ca 90 mins including transp fr Lysekil Place B:  Lökeberg, Munkedal (occasional) Duration B:   45 mins at Lökeberg panel, ca 3 hrs including transp fr Lysekil   Children: Recommended from 10 yrs Included: Hot beverages in Oct-March Minsta antal: 4 personer, senast 24 timmar innan avgång Preliminärbokning till dess.   At least 4 booked participants (or a group booking) no later than 24 hours before for the tour to be completed.

Outdoor West Kayak trip 3hrs: CITY PADDLING with open sea

Kayak trip 3hrs: CITY PADDLING with open sea

Would you like to try paddling in one of the world’s most beautiful archipelagos? According to a recent CNN Traveler listing, the seascapes around Lysekil and the Swedish West Coast are stunning. You can come along on a beginner-friendly trip in stable ocean kayaks. Theme: City and Nature. The guide will stop at regular intervals to let participants have a rest and to tell you about the surroundings. What you will see during a trip will vary due to the prevailing weather conditions. Normally this tour will run to Havsbadsparken and the guest harbour on the southern side of the peninsula. On the way, we pass the spectacular Stångehuvud Nature reserve with its mix of pristine nature and reminiscences of quarrying 100 years ago.  Option: Visit a small island If the group wants we may instead head out into the archipelago to one of the islands. Maybe there is time for a quick jump from the cliffs. Just in case, bring your swim gear and a towel if you want to take a swim in the manner of the locals. The wind direction, speed, and wave amplitude will limit what is possible. As the fairway around Stångehuvud is crowded and boat captains have been known to be reckless it's an advantage to go in a group. The guide will give you safety tips and talk about what you see during the trip. We are there to assist you in entering and alighting the stable twin kayaks, and to teach basic techniques and safety issues. For families with children from 5-11 years, and participants with dogs, pls choose Family paddling. Would you like to paddle in sea fire (bioluminescence), sunset or at night?  Click here Kayak trip 3hrs: CITY PADDLING with open sea Area: LYSEKIL  We paddle mainly in the area between the Small and Greater Skeppsholmen in the Northern Harbour, and Kramkistan in the Stångehuvud nature reserve Season: October-May, usually Fridays and Saturdays Duration: 3 hours from gathering until we part, i.e. including security briefing, etc- We spend a little more than an 2 hours in the kayak. Landfall/break: Usually not, but there is time for a short walk ashore if someone needs to stretch their legs or want to take a swim. Level: Novice/Beginner and intermediate Guest requirements: Normal health; i.e. no known problems sitting still, e.g. circulation problems, etc. Max 110kg and/or 200cm (Length and weight limited by dry suits and cockpit size and possible leg length.)  Children/Youths: Children/youths under 16 years only together with paying adults. Children (5-9 years) must be accompanied by an adult/child. Maximum 3 young people (10-15 years) together with at least one adult. Dogs: Since we go close to the land, you can bring a dog on the boat. How much it costs depends on whether the dog can sit in the same cockpit as you, without hindering your ability to paddle. A larger dog needs to have its own cockpit and must be so calm and obedient that it does not jump into the water out of fear or to hunt waterfowl. You have to make your own judgment when making your reservation, but this is our definition: Small dog, max 10-15 kg, which sits on your lap or in a boot. Large dog, from approx. 15 kg, which sits/lies in its own cockpit. Your dog has to wear its life jacket. You can swim 200 m and is strong enough to paddle alone with a larger dog in a tandem kayak. We also have a kayak with room for a large dog and 1 adult, and 1 youth (10-15 years), alternatively 2 adults. Included: Guide, paddle, life jacket, and canopy/spray deck. Place in a stable tandem kayak (K2), shared with another participant. In case of an odd number of participants, one of the participants paddles with the guide.

Sunscreen SPF15 or higher (applied to the nose, cheeks, lips, nose, ears, and on top of hands at least 30 minutes BEFORE arrival) if needed.

Avoid sneakers and boots. Better take sandals, semi-soft slippers, flip,-flops or even better: bathing shoes. Rain/wind: We run the tour even if there is light fog or the risk of light showers.
