Canoeing in in Sweden and Norway As a part of our ever expanding and changing offer of canoe expeditions we are delighted to be able to offer you four rarely paddled trips in Sweden and Norway. The locations we have selected offer you the best chance to see Scandinavia’s amazing wildlife and experience a true wilderness canoeing expedition.

Canoeing in in Sweden and Norway A camera is a must for every trip. This year we got up close and personal with Reindeer, Moose, Beaver and Osprey. With Bear and Lynx tracks to be seen on many occasions. Coupled with the amazing scenery and dramatic all night long sun set / rise, this is any canoeing photographer’s dream, combining amazing scenery with sunsets that just keep going until sunrise.

During our action packed short trip we made new friends, drove 2500 kilometers, stayed in some amazing locations and found out that smoked salmon is cheaper that chicken!!

For six weeks in 2012 Elements are moving lock, stock, a trailer of prospectors and a big bag of Grey Owl wooden paddles to Scandinavia. This means no dodgy hire canoes, rubbish paddles or funky PFDs (the best other companies offer). So as wells as the highest possible standard in guiding, coaching, locations and experience, you will also be provided with top quality canoes and equipment.
