What you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
The best thing about kayaking in Norway is that it’s suitable for everyone. No prior kayaking experience is required to participate but it is advisable to have a reasonable fitness level to complete the tour. If you are uncertain about your skill or fitness level, please reach out and we will assist you in selecting the most suitable tour.
Above all, please pack light — remember that it all has to fit in a small kayak. Your guides offer open storage boxes to store your bags and clothes. Unfortunately, there are no lockers available. For larger items, we recommend using the luggage storage service at the nearby train station.
Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:
Please do not bring:
Your guides will provide:
Try to avoid cotton – especially when paddling. Cotton does not dry quickly once it’s wet – making it uncomfortable and cold. Quick dry materials such as polypropylene, thin wool, or fleece will keep you warm and comfortable and they are much less bulky than cotton. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
Your guides can cater to various dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, diabetic, nut allergies, kosher, halal, and others. Please inform us about your dietary requirements at the time of booking to ensure we meet your expectations.
Group sizes and prices:
Kayaking in Norway can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.
Min. age requirements:

This tour still operates in rainy weather. In fact, the rain enhances the authentic Norwegian fjord experience! If the planned activity is not possible to carry out due to weather conditions, the customer will be offered an alternative arrangement.
To get to Flåm, Norway, many people fly into Oslo Airport (OSL) and from there take a 55-minute flight from to Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen (SOG). Once you reach Sogndal, you can get to the meeting point by car, bus, train or boat. Sogndal is 43 miles (70 km) from Flåm. Many also fly into Bergen Flesland Airport (BGO), only 3 hours by train, bus, car or ferry.
The meet-up point will be on the beach in Flåm. All participants should arrive for check-in 10-15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. This allows for restroom use (located at the parking lot) and any necessary preparations, such as retrieving forgotten items from your car.
We highly recommend that you cover all your bases with both emergency medical and travel insurance. With medical insurance, if you have an accident or medical emergency on or off the mountain, you’ll avoid paying out of pocket for costly expenses. This covers everything from hospital treatments to emergency air transportation and more.
Travel insurance covers canceled flights, natural disasters and other scenarios that may interrupt your travel plans.
We also expect you to respect local regulations and take measures to protect yourselves, your guides, and the communities you’re traveling to. For more information on travel recommendations and restrictions in Norway, please refer to the Norgesportalen.
If you need assistance selecting the right insurance for your group, let us know and we will be happy to help!
