Based in the idyllic town of Tvedestrand, Kote Null offers a range of fun and educational activities in and around the sea. The small, authentic experiences company is dedicated to fostering an interest in, and love of, the sea and the “skjærgård”, the archipelago of islands and inlets off the coast of Southern Norway.
Come summer or winter, Kote Null offers a fantastic range of outdoor experiences inspired by the small team’s dedication to fostering an appreciation of the natural world. ”Enjoying fun and interesting activities in and by the sea awakens an interest, and we want to inspire a love of the sea and nature – especially in young people,” says Nina Noem Hansen, the company’s founder and manager.
Free diving, paddling, windsurfing, snorkelling, kayak and boat rentals as well as a range of courses and a popular summer camp for teens are just a few of the activities on offer, and almost everything can be done in all seasons. “Our climate and nature are ideal for outdoor activities all-year-round, and we’re really lucky that we don’t have to go far to get to some incredibly beautiful places,” says Nina. “Being at sea in the winter is no problem at all with the gear we have, and seeing the archipelago in winter when it’s so quiet, is a truly extraordinary experience”.
Kote Null’s varied excursions can be tailor-made to suit the needs and preferences of groups, whether it’s families, friend groups or a company team-building excursion. Different activities can be combined to create a unique and memorable day out, and the safety and security of guests have top priority for the well-trained team facilitating the experiences. “We want people to leave an experience richer, feeling that they’ve managed to do something new, and that they have unforgettable memories to take home with them,” says Nina.
There are numerous benefits to experiencing the beautiful area of Norway’s southern coastline with experienced local guides and instructors keen to share their in-depth knowledge of the wildlife and history of the area – and the importance of marine preservation. “There’s a lot of passion in our work,” Nina says. “Kote Null represents a vision of spending time in the sea and archipelago all year round – and taking care of it; for it to remain as beautiful as it is now, we have to start giving back.”
