After meeting up with your guides and checking into the hotel (from 1 pm onwards). Kick off your trip with an afternoon warm-up with a road cycling tour around Lake Vangsvatnet, approximately 22 km (14 miles). Along the way, you will learn fun facts and stories about the region, and how it’s made its way into Norway’s history books.

You will also stop at Bordalsgjelet, a deep and scenic gorge with a fun hiking trail (around 2.5-hour hike). Return to the Fleischer Hotel for a good night’s rest.

Activities: Road cycling for 22 km (14 miles) and hiking for 2.5 hours
Accommodation: Fleischer Hotel
Your second day begins at Basecamp with a classic sea kayaking tour along the Naerøfjord, the most beautiful and wildest arm of the Sognefjord, the largest and deepest fjord in Norway. Nærøyfjord is featured on UNESCO World Heritage List and there’s no better way to experience it than by kayaking.

Nærøyfjord offers incredible views of cascading waterfalls, unique nature, and wildlife, as well as historic farms which have been clinging onto the mountains for centuries. Make a couple of stops along the way to get some food and some great pics of the area’s most iconic landscapes. You’re in for a full day of peace and quiet in Norway’s iconic fjord region!

Activities: Sea kayaking
Accommodation: Fleischer Hotel
After breakfast, you’ll be picked up and taken to Mt. Oksen, a breathtaking mountain standing a little over 1,200 m (3,940 ft) above sea level. The trail begins in Tjoflot and winds its way nearly 1,000 m (3,280 ft) vertically from the car park through steep forest, before opening up and offering views of the surrounding fjords and mountains.

The top offers a 360 panoramic view of Samlafjorden, Sørfjorden, Eidfjorden and Granvinsfjorden, as well as Norway’s third largest glacier: Folgefonna. All these fjords mentioned are branches of Hardangerfjord, the second biggest fjord in Norway. End the day back at your accommodation and spend the rest of the day at your own leisure.

Voss’ main attractions are the Vosso river and Lake Vangsvatnet—make the most of it by doing a stand up paddleboarding tour! Explore the river and the lake’s shoreline, admire the wildlife that finds refuge there, and experience the crystal clear water of the river.

After returning to the base and enjoying a lunch break, your day will be wrapped up with a mountain biking ride on some of Voss’ most beloved singletrack. With three options available for two-wheel explorations, anyone, no matter their skill level, can explore Voss’ mountain biking scene in comfort and style on high-quality full suspension mountain bikes.

Activities: SUPing for 2.5 hours and mountain biking for 2-2.5 hours

The sweat you build up while paddling will be rewarded with cooling swims in clear river pools and waterfalls found along the way.

You’ll be done rafting at around 1:30 pm and this officially marks the end of your adventure. Say goodbye to your guides and if you’d like to keep on exploring the area, just ask them for some recommendations.

We have done: kayak, mountain biking, paddle and kanoe at Outdoor Norway with our family of 4, one 10 years old and one 14. Each time we had a great time, the guides were really nice with the kids and we always felt secured. We were not very skilled but they always adapted the tempo and gave very good explanations. The equipement was excellent and in very good condition (Super cool mountain bikes :-)). We really felt like they were here for us to have a good time unlike another club in Voss it didn’t feel like a tourist cash machine, it felt family like and chill. We highly recommend Outdoor Norway for families but it certainly works great for experienced folks too, the guides are highly skilled and very playful 🙂 Big thanks to our guides Ruben, Mattis and Miro.

We did a mountain bike and rafting combo with outdoor Norway and I can’t recommend it enough! I will mention that decent athletic abilities is required and come prepared to sweat and work hard with these activities.
Genis was our mountain bike guide and he was top tier! Because we were the only two on the ride, he was able to adapt to our skill level. He was patient, supportive and encouraging.
Suman was our primary rafting guide, along with his colleague Mohan in the other boat and Luis behind the wheel and the camera lens. All three were fantastic. Special shoutout to Suman who took our safety very seriously but was also very engaging, encouraging and fun. All guides were happy to share their stories and newfound love for Norway. Thank you!!
