Kriki De Smet

Kriki has been coaching and guiding sea kayakers since 2018. She has dedicated many hours on the water, as a sea kayaker, river canoeist, surfer, open-water swimmer and coastal lifeguard. The great outdoors has been her playground since she was born in the Atlas mountains of Algeria. When not in the water, you can find her in the mountains. Kriki is a biologist and teaches sciences, outdoor skills and Nordic friluftsliv. A package that aligns with the skills needed as a guide. Guiding expeditions is the ultimate way to combine all her passions: planning the trip, exploring remote/new places, enjoying unspoiled nature, wild camping, bushcraft, foraging and the ocean.

Kriki is a British Canoeing Sea Kayak Leader (tidal) and ISKGA coastal guide. She coaches and guides for Norvantur (guiding and coaching company she runs together with her husband), Norwegian Sea Kayaking (owned by Kristoffer Vandbakk), the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) and the Norwegian Canoe association (NPF).
