Kayak tours Luleå

Kayaking in Luleå is a great summer activity where you can experience closeness to water and nature. With kayaking you glide almost soundless through the water, with the only sound of your own paddle strokes. The minimal draft of the kayak, opens up great possibilities to discover the shallow parts of the Luleå archipelago and the Luleå river.

With this kayak tour you will explore together with an experienced guide the Luleå river, before it reaches the seawater of the Bothnian Bay. The tour has a nice easygoing tempo with focus on a joyful experience.

Kayaking on the Luleå river

Kayaking on the Luleå river is a recreational sightseeing tour where your guide will show you the beautiful city of Luleå from the water. During the tour your guide informs you about the city’s history, places to visit in the vast archipelago and how the area has changed due to the ongoing post glacial land rise, all from the seat of your kayak.

On one of the many shallow beaches a short stop will be made for a rest, to stretch your legs and enjoy a traditional Swedish fika. There are many routes to choose from and depending on the water and weather conditions your experienced guide will make a qualified decision on the most suitable tour for the day.

Meeting point

The meeting point is in the southern harbour, close to the very heart of the city. In the water we acquaint ourselves with the kayaks, where your experienced guide will give you an introduction to paddling techniques and safety instructions. The basics are simple to learn even if this is your first time in a kayak.
