On-Water Adventures

On-Water Adventures

Being on the water changes the scale of the North. A canoe on the Geirangerfjord at seven in the morning, before the day boats start, is a different fjord entirely. Sea kayaking the Nærøyfjord puts the cliff walls directly overhead. And Voss — Norway's adventure capital — runs proper whitewater through the summer.

Finland is a paddling country in its own right. Lakeland canoeing threads the labyrinth of Saimaa — seal country, with wilderness campsites and lakeside saunas along the route — and in the north, the big Lapland rivers carry multi-day rafting and fishing expeditions: days on the water, evenings at the campfire, grayling and trout on the line, and a guide who handles everything from rapids to frying pan.

Further west, Iceland offers glacier-lagoon and sea kayaking beneath the ice caps, and Greenland is where the kayak was invented — paddling among the icebergs of Disko Bay, in the hands of local guides, is one of the Arctic's great experiences.

Everything is private and guided, and every outing is matched to the party: rafting grades chosen for the group, tandem kayaks for less confident paddlers, and calm-water alternatives always in reserve. Buoyancy kit and dry gear are standard, and guides hold the final word on conditions.
