“It was a pleasure to kayaking with Felix and Tobias!!! They are both open minded and kind guides. Although it was my first time kayaking, I could learn it really fast because of there help. Also, I could ask any question and they did not hesitate to answer it at all. Perfect journey :)”
Kayak Oslo's Akerselva in 1.5 hours, pass a 500m tunnel, then finish by the Oslofjord near Munch Museum and the Opera House.
“Super fun! A great way to see the city from a different perspective. You might get a bit wet, so a k-way and sandals are ideal. The guides also take photos and share them with you via Airdrop so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Paddle the Oslofjord in 3 hours from Sjølyst Marina. Small-group guide coaching, Bygdøy sights, and fjord wildlife in English.
“Beautiful trip, good instructor. Swimming shorts recommended and do not forget water and sun blocker.”
Guided 3-hour kayak on the Oslofjord from Sjølyst Marina. Small group, safety tips, and city views from the water. Rain or shine.
“Sven was very knowledgeable of the area & kayaking. He gave great basic instructions. We had some beginners with us and he made sure they were comfortable. We had a variety of water conditions, so it was a very good 3 hour workout, not just a calm paddle. Highly recommend.”
Paddle Oslo’s Akerselva River by kayak and packraft, passing the Munch Museum and Opera House, with a short Oslofjord glide.
“It was something different - fun with some surprises. The guide was great - he was funny, knowledgeable, and great at helping even novices feel comfortable in the kayak.”
Kayak the Oslofjord from central Oslo, passing Opera House and forts. Gear and guides included on a beginner-friendly 2-hour paddle.
“There was one in a slow kayak so a lot of waiting- the leader should have taken a double. This company though has terrible customer service and will rob you if it is after the 24 hr window- even if there was a mistake- do not use this company”
Two-hour guided Oslo Fjord kayak from Sjølyst Marina, beginner friendly, with views of Bygdøy beaches and Fornebu. Gear included.
“Annett was a wonderful guide. She was friendly, informative, and skilled. We enjoyed our time and would do it again. The weather was beautiful for us and the experience very meditative.”
