Whether you prefer quiet paddling in a massive fjord areas or to paddle in the unique archipelago of the west country - the west coast is a kayaking mecca of international caliber.
Several areas seem almost specifically designed for kayakers. There are narrow, shallow straits where few boats dare to go- and the myriad of islands reefs and islets that make navigation difficult, but fun. The easy availability of key junctions on the west coast makes the area particularly well suited for weekend trips, short holidays or mini-expeditions.
Micro-terrain, or small structures that contribute to the landscape so that it changes almost for every stroke, is one of the secrets of a good paddling area. Many islands and reefs makes the trip full of surprises, and paddling is more fun. These are sheltered embayments, perfect camp sites, abundant wildlife - and bad weather can often be neutralized by that there is an opportunity to sneak on the inshore if the sea becomes too rough.
