Program
This trip goes from Svolvær to Bodø.

We plan at least one summit trip on all our trips north of Brekstad, but all activities on this trip are of course optional.

then it's all right!
We have 2 sit-on-top kayaks, fishing equipment, diving goggles & snorkels, barbecue, cards & board games and a small library on board, so there will be activities for most people.
