Captivating Bohuslän
We may not go deep-sea diving, but we visit Kosterhavet – Sweden’s first marine national park – with a diving-mask and snorkel. Then we take a magical hot air balloon trip from Marstrand over a glittering archipelago. On our visit to Bohuslän, we stay at Daftö Camping Resort.
Lovéncentret: Learn more about life under the sea
We visit Lovéncentret on Tjärnö. Research groups from the University of Gothenburg and other Swedish seats of learning gather here to explore and educate. We learn lots of things about the creatures that live in the water outside – Sweden’s first marine national park, Kosterhavet.

Snorkelling adventures in Kosterhavet
Many associate snorkelling with the Red Sea or crystal-clear water off a Greek island. But you don’t need to go that far to see life under the sea with your own eyes. We set off for Saltö and try the approx. 200 metre snorkelling route that starts here in Hasslebukten on Saltö.

Silje-Eks Havtorn in Strömstad
A plant that thrives in Bohuslän’s salty environment is sea buckthorn, also called Nordic passion fruit by some. Sea buckthorn gets its name from its sharp thorns and the fact that it thrives by the sea. We visit Silje-Eks Havtorn in Strömstad, which grows, produces and sells sea buckthorn products: marmalade, dessert sauce, jam, jelly, nectar, muesli, flour, tea and sweets.

Hot air balloon flight over Bohuslän
We set off for Marstrand and Karlsten Fortress. From here we are going up into the sky to view the beautiful landscape from above – and, at times, in complete silence.

Daftö Resort
The five-star Daftö Resort, 3 km outside Strömstad, has lots to offer everyone, though mostly the little ones. As well as the playful pirates, there is Daftöland, where visitors can choose from many fun activities: water attractions, rollercoasters, bouncy castles and much more. At Daftö Resort you can also spoil yourself a little at the campsite restaurant. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for those who want it.
