Discover Nordfjord from a completely different perspective on this guided kayaking adventure. Surrounded by towering mountains and landscapes carved by ancient glaciers, you will paddle through one of Norway's most beautiful fjords while getting close to nature and hearing fascinating local stories along the way.
After meeting your professional instructor and guide, you will receive an introduction to the basics of kayaking before launching into a sheltered bay to practise a few simple techniques. Travelling in stable double kayaks, this excursion suits both first-timers and those with previous paddling experience.
As you glide across the fjord, you will be surrounded by steep mountainsides, crystal-clear water and scenery shaped by glaciers over thousands of years. Your guide will choose the route according to the weather and conditions on the day, ensuring the best possible experience. During stops on the water, the kayaks will be rafted together while your guide shares stories about Olden, its history, its wildlife and geology, and its maritime heritage and seafaring traditions.
This excursion is ideal for those seeking an active outdoor experience combined with a deeper understanding of the culture and traditions of this remarkable part of Western Norway.
