What's this trip about?

    Explore the West Coast of Sweden from the cockpit of a sea kayak while experiencing Swedish culture and hospitality along the way. We'll start our adventure in historic city of Gothenburg, paddling through the city's canals, checking out the daily catch at the Fish Church (Fish Market), strolling the streets of the Haga district, and even enjoying a fika (coffee & cake) on a replica of a Swedish East India tall ship. Gothenburg's restaurants boast some of the finest examples of Scandinavian cuisine and you'll have the opportunity to enjoy not only traditional favorites but also some innovative, and delicious, new creations.

We focus on small groups, unique itineraries, and intimate local cultural experiences. We are a Veteran owned business and our guides are among the most experienced in the industry.

"When founder and lead guide Kevin Rosenberg sold Gear To Go Outfitters in 2018 he took his adventure travel offerings with him and started International Adventure Guides in 2019.  Kevin has been a professional guide since 2009 and has been featured on ABC News, The New York Times, The Science Channel, Backpacker Magazine, New York Magazine, NBC Today, and more. 

WE BELIEVE IN PRIORITIZING UNIQUE ITINERARIES, SMALL SMALL GROUPS AND INTIMATE LOCAL, CULTURAL EXPERIENCES.  International Adventure Guides (IAG) focuses on providing immersive experiences that are true “bucket list” adventures.  By limiting the number of adventures to a few destinations, IAG has become experts on those regions with deep knowledge on the specific destinations and itineraries curated for its customers.

WE BELIEVE IN FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND RESPECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT.  IAG is dedicated to only serving small international travel groups, limiting group size to 12 guests and 2 guides.  These small groups are able to develop new connections, but do not feel like they are lost among a crowd of others.  Additionally, small groups allow IAG to remain committed to the Leave No Trace ethos – minimizing impact to both the environment and sensitive cultural areas.

WE BELIEVE IN PROVIDING OUR TRAVELERS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES, GUIDED AND UN-GUIDED.  IAG recognizes that the customer’s experience on their travels with us is paramount.  In addition to providing its guests with an exclusive adventure in amazing destinations, there is ample free time, both on the trail and in the city, to have time for personal adventure and discovery."

Organizing adventure travel. Unique local knowledge and expertise about your destinations. Connecting travellers to locals and authentic experiences

We are known for planning and leading true bucket list adventures in both the Nordic region and the USA. We take the time to interview our guests and plan the adventure of their dreams, not ours.
