Winter Kayaking & Sauna in Ålesund

Discover the beauty of Ålesund in winter with a guided kayaking trip through its picturesque canals and surrounding waters. While most visitors come in summer, winter paddling offers a quieter atmosphere and crystal-clear water, allowing for unique sightings of fish and marine life beneath the surface. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the sea remains at a comfortable temperature, ensuring a pleasant experience.

Your local guide will share insights into Ålesund’s history and nature as you navigate through the calm winter waters.
