Do The North

All
trips, activities and transfers will hereafter be referred to as “tours”. All
bookings are made with Do the North AB, a tour operator based in Sweden
(organisation number 556991-5381). Do the North AB will hereafter be referred
to as “we”. All the information provided on the website is, to the best of our
knowledge or belief, correct at the time of publication. We will advise you of
any changes that are fundamental to the contract or which we believe will
affect the enjoyment of the holiday. 

Remember
that the contact details you when making a booking are our only way of
contacting you. 

Please read your confirmation carefully and check that all
dates/times and products/services are booked according to your requirements. If
not, please contact Do the North to correct any misunderstandings immediately. 

Follow
all rules and instructions that apply to activities and the use of the
equipment, you are responsible for looking after it during your tour. A
reasonable level of wear and tear is expected over time, and you should notify
us if anything is faulty. The equipment will be inspected upon your return to
ensure it is in good working order. 

In the event of excessive damage that is the result of careless
behaviour or mistreatment of equipment, Do the North reserves the right to
charge you for repair or replacement costs incurred. 

Any
problems that occur during your stay must be reported immediately to the staff
at Do the North, so that we have the opportunity to resolve them. 

The
personal data you submit on the Do the North website will be treated with the
utmost care and respect. We handle personal data submitted to us in accordance
with what is laid down in the Swedish acts of personal data
(“Personuppgiftslagen” SFS 1998:204) and electronic communication (“Lagen om
elektronisk kommunikation” SFS 2003:389). Personal data includes your name,
address, phone number and email address. 

Force
majeure means unusual, unpredictable and unavoidable events that are outside of
the organisers control, and that prevent the contract to be fulfilled. During
these conditions the organiser is free from liability or other consequences. 

Our
tours are self-guided, and you undertake it at your own risk. Outdoor
activities always have potential risks, and it is up to you to take reasonable
care. Do the North provides you with the information and equipment needed for
wild-camping and kayaking safely, and by booking a tour you are acknowledging
responsibility for the safety of yourself and your companions. All members of
the tour must be capable of swimming in open water. 

The
Saint Anna archipelago is a sensitive environment that is governed by Swedish
law. The rules of “Allemansrätten” grant you the right to public access,
allowing freedom to camp in the wilderness provided that you respect the nature
and property. There are nature reserves with restrictions that must be adhered
to, as shown on the maps provided and clearly signposted on the islands. 

Do
the North does not allow campfires during July and August, as the area is too
dry and it is a grave concern of landowners in the area. Outside of those
months, unless the area is particularly dry, or a fire ban is in place, we
allow camp fires in provided pop-up grills only. Caution must be exercised with
having fires, and they must not be made directly on the ground. The pop-up
grill must be placed at least 20 metres away from trees and tents. The fire
must be a reasonable size for cooking, and the flames must not exceed 1 metre
high. The fire must be attended at all times, and put out properly with water
to ensure there are no hot embers remaining. 

Kayaking
is possible in most weather conditions, however in extreme circumstances we may
be forced to make alternative arrangements. If a severe storm prevents
departure then we will provide accommodation while waiting until it is safe to
set out. Please note that changes may occur at a short notice, even on the same
day. If you feel uncomfortable with paddling back to the pick up location on
your final day, you may request a water taxi to bring you ashore. We can
arrange this service at your expense.

Saint Anna Archipelago is made up of over 6,000 islands, most of them tiny and uninhabited. Situated on the east coast of Sweden, it’s a fantastic location for beginners or experienced sea kayakers with a thirst for adventure.
