Wonderful trip, great way...
Wonderful trip, great way to experience Norway. It rained on and off during our trip but they provided rain proof gear across the board, including gloves and hats. One of the highlights of our trip for sure.

Norway Kayaking
Very knowledgeable guide. Superb kayaking in and around the islands north of Bergen. We are experienced kayakers and would rate this as one of our best experiences.

Simon is 10/10
Simon promptly picked us up. He was kind, outgoing, and humorous. We had the best time kayaking and learning more about Bergen. He seriously was the best guide we have ever had. 100% would recommend doing this! It was a great and fun way to explore.

Enjoyable activity. Our ...
Enjoyable activity. Our family of six , 13 years and up, all loved it and found it a great way to spend an afternoon outside of the city.
K
Totally worth it
Fun, great outing for ourselves and 20+ year old children . We lucked out and got a sunny day but that means the wind picked up . We really like the kayaks and Iris the guide was terrific We saw minks on the shore and jelly fish in the North Sea. Learned about Norwegian culture

A fun afternoon!
My wife and I are very experienced kayakers. The guides were willing to let us take solo kayaks out for the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed paddling around the islets.

Highlight of our Scandinavian holiday
My wife and I enjoy active holidays and love to experience the environment when we travel. We had both a fantastic active morning and experienced the beauty of the Norwegian fjords in kayaks with Victor and a small group of six. We were collected in Bergen- all arriving on time. We had a 30 minute drive north of the city to a launch point on the water. We were equipped with warm wet weather clothing and life jackets and fitted to high quality, robust sea kayaks. Victor was relaxed but quick and well organised and got us on the water very quickly. We had a wonderful 2 hours on the water paddling at a sustainable pace for everyone. We saw beautiful granite cliffs and pretty seaside cabins. We stopped for a snack at a ruined fishing camp and then regretfully headed for home. A highlight of our holiday.
