Blekinge coastal area and archipelago has been nominated by UNESCO as one of Sweden’s 5 biosphere reserves. Explore ARK 56, this beautiful archipelago landscape, from a kayak. Discover the wilderness from the inside and let your mind be filled by the tranquillity and the nature.
The lush archipelago in Blekinge is Sweden’s southernmost. It has numerous islands and bays and is excellent for kayaking. The islands are closely situated with no major thoroughfares for larger boats. Paddling conditions are relatively easy with no tides.
ARK 56 offers a rich animal and bird life and it is possible to spot both seal and eagle. You will quickly find yourself far away from the civilization, surrounded by water and wilderness. Look for the perfect spot, set up your tent and make the island your own for the night.
This is a true self-guided adventure for 3 days starting from Kayak Center Järnavik, strategically located in the middle of Blekinge. Transport back to the starting point is included. We offer flexible pickups, which makes it easier to adapt your route to prevailing weather conditions.
We sort out the practical part - kayaking gear, camping gear, and cooking gear is included. Just bring your own sleeping bag, food, and personal belongings.
Depending on previous experience you can choose single or double kayaks. Would you like to taste the adventure with a guide? Contact us and we will be happy to arrange a guided 2-day tour for you.
Included equipment: single or double kayak, paddle, life vest, spray deck, tent, sleeping mat, rope, drybag 20 L, waterproof cell phone case, drinking bottle, water pump, spade, pocketknife, map, compass, headlight, camping stove, gas bottle, cooking utensils, eating utensils, and cutting board, dishwashing kit, water can 5 L, first aid kit and toilet paper.
We will give tour suggestions that you can decide to follow completely or partially. You will have the opportunity to choose to spend the night at many places that are marked on the map.
Some islands are bird sanctuaries during the period 1st of April until the 15th of July, when there is a ban on landing. Fishing is free in the entire area.
Beskrivning
DAY 1The equipment included in the package is picked up at Kayak Center Järnavik at 10 am. You will be given instructions on how the kayak works as well as paddling and rescue techniques if desired. We will also go through the map and the tour description. Finally, you pack the kayak, and the tour can begin.
On this first day you will be kayaking in the archipelago of Järnavik. We recommend a visit at the beautiful island Tjärö, where apart from a stunning environment you find a café and a restaurant.
Stay the night in the archipelago of Järnavik on Tjärö or on the island Dragsö, which forms part of Eriksberg nature reserve. Another option is to continue further and spend the night in the archipelago of Hällaryd. The section passing Allböle largely contains open sea, and there are often winds of varying strength. It is also possible to cross the headland by means of a footbridge that is marked on the map.

We propose that you spend the night on the uninhabited islands Bockö or Östra Bokö.
