Our winged and blubbery friends.

We glide quietly through a long band of rocky islets close to the open sea. It’s early summer, breeding is in full swing and the area is teeming with interesting birdlife. Hopefully we also get to spot Grey seals and their cubs sunbathing on the barren rocks, or bobbing their heads above the water while hunting for fish.

A bonafide wildlife guide will lead the way.

This is a collab with Marcus from Wild Sweden. He's an expert at getting close without disturbing, and a role model for observing animals in their natural habitat and wildlife conservation. It's all about feeling truly connected with nature, and meanwhile learning about the importance of biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem.

Crazy good binoculars, spotting scopes and a healthy dose of luck.

We venture into parts of the archipelago where few humans ever go. There are never any guarantees when spotting wildlife, but our chances to see some of the rarer species are as good as they’re gonna get!

Near the mainland

On our journey towards the outer archipelago, we pass through clusters of islands where many common birds breed. Families of swans, ducks and perhaps Great Crested Grebes with their chicks swimming along. White-tailed Eagles often soar high up in the sky, they nest in large trees not far from here. Maybe we can sneak close to a Grey Heron standing completely still in the water watching its prey.

Near the mainland

The outskirts

We have special permission to pass through a couple of superb bird sanctuaries close to the open sea. Our chances are quite good to spot waders like Oystercatchers, Ruddy Turnstones, and Ringed Plovers, and elegant aviators like Ospreys or Montagu’s Harriers. Some typical Baltic duck species like Eiders, Velvet Scoters and Tufted Ducks are plentiful.

Far out to sea

We continue further east than most kayakers ever go towards the outskirts of the seal sanctuary. Our chances of observing Grey seals with their cubs are pretty high. Depending on weather conditions, we may go by boat, but hopefully we can take our kayaks! This far out, if we’re lucky, we may also spot Razorbills and Arctic Skuas.

More than peeking through a lens

Bird overload? Not to worry. This tour is of course just as much about enjoying camp life, paddling and each other. And Marcus is truly an inspiring dude. He will leave you not only with tools to spot wildlife wherever you may go next, but also pumped to take action to save our wild friends and the environment. Closer to home too.
