Sunset in Dyrafjord 2 to 3 hours. In this trip we see and experience Dyrafjord with its most beautiful beauty and the sunset from a new wonderful perspective. And if we are lucky we will see curious seals on our journey. Seal trip in the Dyrafjord, fjord of the Vikings. 2 to 3 hours. On a good day, up to 20 seals can lie on the shore to sunbathe on the rocks. The seal is very curious and it’s great to watch them swim around the kayaks.
