About the tour

Øksningan is an archipelago of small islands, varied shoreline and rich wildlife. We paddle mostly in sheltered waters close to land, so conditions are usually calm and you get close to nature.

The area is known for its birdlife, and the chances of seeing sea eagles are very good. Halfway, we land on one of the islands for lunch. If you like, you can walk up a small hill for a view over the archipelago and the coast.
