From Norway’s fjords to Sweden’s island archipelagos, from the glaciated landscapes of Spitsbergen to the cathedral-like icebergs of Scoresby Sund and the channels of the Antarctic Peninsula: discover our Nordic journeys and polar sea kayaking expeditions.
These trips offer several different ways to experience the high latitudes: itinerant sea kayaking with nights under canvas in Norway and Sweden; a winter journey based from a lodge in the heart of the Tromsø fjords; or exploration from an expedition vessel serving as a floating base camp in Svalbard, Greenland and Antarctica. With small groups and professional guiding, each programme adapts to sea conditions, weather, ice and wildlife-viewing opportunities.
Midnight sun, Northern Lights, glaciers, whales, seals, penguins and seabirds: every destination offers a different kind of immersion. Equipment, organisation and the required experience are explained on each trip page.

Antarctica — Peninsula & South Shetland Islands

Norway — Tromsø under the midnight sun
Six days of itinerant paddling between Ringvassøya, Rebbenesøya and Kvaløya, among fjords, green islands, Arctic beaches and snow-covered peaks. The kayaks carry our camp, while the July light accompanies us almost continuously.

Spitsbergen — Svalbard Archipelago
Glaciers, guillemot cliffs, walruses and drifting sea ice shape a journey deep into the Arctic. Hondius becomes our floating base camp, allowing us to explore a new bay each day by kayak, Zodiac or on foot.
East Greenland — Scoresby Sund
Deep fjords, glacier fronts and true cathedrals of icebergs make Scoresby Sund one of the most spectacular polar paddling destinations. From Hondius, we alternate kayaking outings, landings and a visit to Ittoqqortoormiit.
Norway — Tromsø in winter: Whales & Northern Lights
Based from a lodge on Kvaløya, this journey combines sea kayaking in snow-covered fjords, snowshoe walks and a dog-sledding excursion. Short winter days, Northern Lights and the possible presence of cetaceans give every outing a distinctive atmosphere.
