The combination of a sea kayak and the West Sweden archipelago (Bohuslän) is among the most amazing experiences one can have. An absolute world class outdoor adventure. Our ambition is to pass on that feeling. We simply hope to create memories that will last a lifetime.
For three days / two nights we explore one of Bohuslän’s, and the world’s, finest paddling areas. We visit the most beautiful places, stay at the most idyllic beaches, look out for, and learn about, the area’s flora, fauna, history and traditions. We cook good food together and watch the sun set in the west.
Areas
• 31 of May -2 of June, 26-28 of July. Havstenssund archipelago – the hidden sea kayaking jewel of the coast. An archipelago divided by the islands Trossö, Kalvö and Lindö. To the east of the islands, lies a sheltered inner archipelago with sandy beaches and vegetated islands, and on the west side an exposed archipelago of granite as beautiful as an archipelago ever can be.
• 12-14 of July, 6-8 of September. Koster Sea Marine National Park – A maze of islands in Sweden’s only marine national park. We look for seals and seabirds, visit Sweden’s westernmost lighthouse and glide around in an islands world home to six thousand marine species.
• 28 – 30 of June, 23-25 of August. Fjällbacka archipelago – the essence of Bohuslän. Ingrid Bergman romance and a rich maritime history in the world of smooth, polished, gleaming red granite islands hiding sandy beaches, charming wooden houses and picturesque small fishing communities.
• 14-16 of June, 9-11 of August. Orust west side – Käringön and Gullholmen are well known island communities, where houses friendly leaning against each other offer a classic view of Bohuslän. In a kayak Hermanö’s diverse and magnificent coastal scenery and Vallerös stunning sandy beaches are destinations you always long for.

Testimonials
Nothing could have been better. Although the planned trip could not go ahead due to weather conditions, the alternative activities and accommodation arrangements were amazing. A great trip with awesome hosts!
Testimonials
"It's a lot of sheep-shit," Neal said. And of course there is a lot of sheep on the islands around Fjällbacka, but it's also incredibly beautiful. Kayaking was new to me, it was fun and very relaxing. Oscar and Mia were just the right amount of energy and gave many useful tips (not to have the paddle upside down, for example...) The food was far beyond expectations and the tent and other equipment very good! Fun to try some different weather and wind, tranquility and a little more boat traffic. I'd love to join you on a longer trip if the opportunity arises!
Testimonials
Everyone was very satisfied and happy after the weekend. As always, an honor and a privilege to spend quality time with you. Wonderful that you also managed to find the last days of summer. We will certainly want to do something together with you agasin in the future. Until then, have a great time!
Testimonials
An activity with Upplevelsebolaget builds expectations. When it's not the first time, expectations are high. When I now summarize my impressions, it is quite clear that Jocke, Karro and Daniel exceeded my expectations. I can't give you a better rating. To build a mood, arouse emotions, show that you can do more than you think, offer the best you have, encourage you to step out of comfort zones, provide community and not least a taste of "adventure". THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN. Forget our jokes about developing the business model, continue with what you are doing in the same genuine way. Just keep going, please. I have your website as a favorite and will follow you and hope to get back to you as soon as I can. Upplevelsebolaget's Kosterhavet 2012 was the experience of the year. Thank you to all participants and not least the host Jocke Hermansson. Receive this bouquet of seaweed, lichens, trift and lots of bird and seal experiences under a lovely August sun in Kosterhavet. I'm still enjoying it. Thanks. Summer greetings from Skåne
Testimonials
Thank you for a nice and well organized tour. I'm very pleased. I think your (Jocke's) kindness and calmness had a big influence. I also thought it was fun to hear a little about nature. Have a nice day!

Just a few lines of feedback, well three words: it was awesome! Thanks to yourself and Oscar for being such great guides, you guys really know what you are talking about and made the trip more enjoyable with all the random knowledge and stories of the area. I have been talking about the trip for weeks now.
Testimonials
My second trip with Upplevelsebolaget and Oskar as a guide. Good leadership, safe navigation, moderate stage goals, generous and good ability to convey knowledge about paddling, sea, nature and outdoor life, as well as good mood and patience from guide and assistant, made the trip very enjoyable and educational.
Testimonials
It was absolutely wonderful, fantastic environments, super good guide and an incredibly well run tour, down to the smallest detail! The fact that the food was so good and that it was organic and locally produced was the icing on the cake. All participants were so happy.
Testimonials
I was delighted with the entire organisation and I am very happy that we chose Upplevelsebolaget. As a kayak newbie I can say that I felt safe and sound at all times and that this was a great introduction to what sea kayaking is all about. Your knowledge of the region was remarkable and added to this feeling, not only while guiding us but also when you pointed out specialties in flora and fauna.
The equipment and food you provided exceeded my expectations. The variety and quality (99% eco!) was excellent and this actually made the experience very relaxing for me, knowing that everything was taken care of.
I will never forget this first moment coming round Långeskär and having the sun in the south, the island in the east and the open sea with the glittering blue horizon in the west. After two weeks at home the impressions are still sinking in and sometimes I find myself thinking back at some of the great nature we have experienced, which puts a smile on my face even in the middle of a professional meeting. Thank you for all of this.
