Evening tours run in summer, when the light is at its best.
About the tour
We paddle at an easy pace in sheltered water as the landscape opens up towards Lovund, Dønnamannen and the Seven Sisters. The evening sun can colour the mountains and sky in warm tones, and conditions for photos are often excellent.
Wildlife tends to be more active in the evening, so there is a good chance of seeing seabirds up close. The guide is with you all the way, so you can simply enjoy the evening.
