This price includes a suitable sea kayak, paddle and buoyancy aid, tents and sleeping mats at  and cooking stoves with fuel as well as plates and cutlery.   We find that dietary preferences on expedition vary hugely so food is not included in the trip price. However, we will shop together at the start if the trip and can give advice as to what to buy if needed. If time is very short we can pre-buy food for you in Sweden. There will be an opportunity to pick up limited supplies on the island of Ulvön mid-way through this trip.
