On the lookout for the best coastal paddle in northern Norway? Eggum’s breathtaking shoreline makes it one of the Lofoten Islands‘ prime kayaking spots.
Two standout tours get my vote: the classic 3-hour coastal kayak experience ($81.37) and the unforgettable midnight sun paddle. Both tours deliver excellent value with complete equipment setups and thorough safety instruction.
I especially love the midnight sun tour – there’s nothing quite like gliding through calm waters while the golden Arctic sun hangs low on the horizon.
Wildlife sightings and dramatic mountain backdrops come standard with both options. Bonus points for wheelchair accessibility and consistently high marks from fellow travelers.
