Paddle the Outside & the Laukvika Bird Sanctuary







Trip Highlights

Small archipelago that is protected by sanctuary for sea birds

Witness sea life refuge

Gliding into a maze of islands
Description
Out here a small archipelago is a protected sanctuary for sea birds and as well is a sea life refuge.
We launch from the hamlet of Laukvik and point our kayaks out of the marina towards the open sea before gliding into a maze of islands. Here we float and bob along watching playful seals and soaring sea eagles, we grab our phones/cameras and try to capture these magnificent creatures on our memory cards before we pull up on a wonderful white-sandy beach for a delicious al fresco picnic lunch.
After lunch we continue our exploration of these numerous islands filled with white sandy beaches, Arctic birds, and seal colonies, before we make our way by to the Hamlet of Laukvik where cold refreshments await.
