Paddling the 68-kilometer expedition around Smøla gives you a unique closeness to nature. The enormous archipelago with over 5,000 islets and skerries protects you from the open sea and provides security because you are always close to land, even though the many islands and tidal movements provide exciting challenges for navigation. Since the shallow waters make it unsafe for most motorboats, you can paddle in peace and quiet while looking for the perfect tent site at one of the countless uninhabited gems along the way. Although weather and wind require planning and respect, the effort is rewarded with a sense of mastery and freedom that only several days in nature can give you.
