Paddle Oslo’s fjord-city sights from Tjuvholmen. Guided kayak tour with gear included, 2 hours total, kid-friendly from age 5.
“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.

Paddle Oslo’s Akerselva River by kayak and packraft, passing the Munch Museum and Opera House, with a short Oslofjord glide.
