Smögens KajakÄventyr was founded in 2007 and is located in the cozy Väjern about 2km north of Smögen. The kayak center is perfectly located in a protected bay close to several nice paddle destinations e.g. Hållö & Hållö Lighthouse, Smögen, Ramsvik Nature Reserve with the island Tryggö & Sotekanalen. Perfect for anyone who wants to paddle short or long, calm or more challenging. Everything is available to choose from!
At the kayak center you will find us:
Mattias Roos
The creator of the idea and the founder of Smögens KajakÄventyr is Mattias - our own paddle fan. Paddles all year round and loves adrenaline and challenges. The favorite is "kayak surfing" on the reef outside Tryggö when the wind picks up. Mattias likes to run the popular basic courses in kayaking buta also "special courses" if someone wants to learn something special such as role or extra kayak safety. Mattias grew up in Väjern and knows the archipelago inside and out. Check with Mattias if you want tips on special or fun excursion destinations or how about a secret cave on Tryggö…

Teddy – Australian Cobberdog
Wonderful little Teddy is an Australian Cobberdog and was born in 2021 and has been at the kayak center since his first days with the Roos family. He quickly learned that dogs can not walk on water, when he tried to change kayaks by walking on water when we were out paddling. It ended with a dip and after that Teddy still loves kayaking and SUP, but sits nicely on the board or kayak to avoid getting wet <3
He is very affectionate and loves everyone - people as animals. He is a little eager sometimes and wants to say hello, but when it's done he lies down calmly to watch what's going on around him.
