Difficulty levels

We have given the routes three different difficulty levels: easy, medium and difficult. View these as recommendations. The estimated times assume good weather and an experienced kayaker. A route that is simple one day can be really difficult the next if the wind starts blowing. Check the sea weather reports and use your best judgement.

Easy:

The route is close to the shore, no crossings longer than 2 kilometers, day-stages no longer than 20 kilometers.

Medium:

Paddling on wider inlets. Crossings no longer than 4 kilometers, day-stages no longer than 30km.

Difficult:

Contains paddling outside the archipelago, crossings longer than 4 kilometers and day-stages longer than 30 kilometers.

Paddling together is an easy way to increase safety – and it’s more fun too!
