To meet free animals in their natural habitat is a fantastic experience. From the cockpit of a kayak it’s unforgettable. We set out on a peaceful journey to look for the seals.

In the Havstensfjord the water is often calm. The fjord is protected from westerly winds by the large island of Orust and we can quietly glide around and look for the fjord’s natural inhabitants. The chances of getting company from the fjord’s colony of harbor seals is good. We help each other to look out for heads emerging near the kayaks curiously peering at us. Who is actually checking out who?

Havstensfjord is also home to the densest population of eiders in Sweden, partly thanks to the blue mussel farms evenly spread out on the water, offering a favorite buffet of food for the birds. With a decent portion of good luck we can also spot a white tailed sea eagle circling in the sky above. What is definitely certain is that we will spot many other species of sea birds and have a nice lunch and coffee break on an island along the way.
