Kayaking on the Helgeland coast

You will meet at the Bjørn ferry dock on Dønna. The paddling experience starts on the beautiful island of Seløya and our accommodation Skolo. You will be driven here by Vegard and Øystein, your guides on this trip. After check-in, we start the tour experiences with lunch and a light kayak trip to gain knowledge of the group's abilities and conditions. We hand out equipment and paddle around Seløya, Hestholmen, Lamøydraget, and Ormsøya. We also stop by the nice sandy beach on Nautøya and take a short break there before we go home and have dinner served.

The day starts at the breakfast table at 08.30. Here we eat, plan the day, and make packed lunches/fill thermoses with the morning meal. Today we are going to burn some energy, and need hearty lunches to sustain us. We paddle south and west towards the area called Ytre Øksningan, find some nice sandy beaches all to ourselves and test the bathing temperature if we dare. We eat a bit, and continue through this conglomeration of islets and reefs up to Jønnesholmen, where we again stretch our legs and assess the bathing temperature. From there, we paddle on the east side of both Nautøya and Litlnautøya before finally turning our nose home towards Seløya. Here, too, today we will be served a good dinner and fill up our energy stores.

Get ready for spectacular views and airy peaks! The day starts at the breakfast table at 08:30. We plan, eat breakfast, make packed lunches, and fill thermoses. At 10 am we drive over to the trailhead before the ascent of Dønnmannen. An absolutely fantastic hiking tour. From the top of the 853m high mountain, we can see the vast majority of the coastal mountains on Helgeland. A real landmark on the Helgeland coast and something to tick off everyone's "bucket list". We take the time to enjoy the view at the top before we head back to the cars and enjoy a delicious dinner on Seløya. This is a relatively tough mountain hike that requires good shoes and experience. If you don't normally go hiking in the mountains, we recommend that you practice walking in the mountains beforehand as it will be both physically demanding and can be exposed. Some will choose to stay a little away from the steepest edges, and we encourage that! If someone thinks that this mountain tour can be so tough that they are unsure whether it is something for them, we have also included an alternative mountain tour to the much kinder Åkvikfjellet. With its 293m, it offers an impressive view in most directions without scaring our guests or being too challenging to enjoy.

On Sunday we eat at 8 am to make the most of the last day. We pack lunches, fill thermoses, and are ready to go in the kayaks at approx. 9 am. From here we paddle to Skardsøya and enjoy the view of the seven sisters from a wonderful beach on Hoholmen while we eat lunch. We paddle back to Seløya via Staulen and Oterholmen and end the paddling trip in good time for the participants' home journeys. You will have the opportunity to change and wash yourself to get ready for the boat trip home. We say goodbye and look forward to seeing each other again on another adventure!
