Safety KayakingLofoten is far north, at 68°N. The clothing should be chosen accordingly and it is each participants’ responsibility. How you choose to dress up will have a great impact both for your own safety and enjoyment of the trip. Typical Lofoten weather means that there can be two seasons in the same week! The average temperature in July for the Lofoten is + 12.8°C and in January it is around - 1°C. Summer days with the weather of + 30°C or + 4°C do not come every year, but they are not so abnormal. In summer, it is also important that you bring along sunscreen for the hot sunny days as well as warm clothing for the colder days. With the damp and raw air that we get here, it is important to take appropriate clothes on. You can paddle in your own gear or we can provide rent of drysuit.
