Havstenssund
Experience the unique charm of Havstenssund as we glide through one of the West Coast’s most picturesque straits.
This narrow, winding waterway is surrounded by smooth red granite cliffs shaped by centuries of wind and sea. As we pass through the channel, you’ll feel the closeness of the rocks on both sides, see traditional fishermen’s cottages along the shoreline, and enjoy classic Bohuslän scenery. Havstenssund is also one of the West Coast’s key oyster areas and home to the renowned oyster farm Havstenssunds Ostron AB, adding an authentic taste of local maritime culture to the experience. Guests interested in learning more about oysters can also choose to book a special Oyster Tour as an add-on experience.
