DIFFICULTY
This kayak tour is suitable for beginners and families with children over 5 years old. We use stable double kayaks that do not require any prior kayaking experience.
PARTICIPANTS
We provide an intimate experience in small groups of up to 12 participants per one guide. Solo travellers, couples, friends and families with children over 5 years old are very welcome to join this adventure tour.
CLOTHING
In colder weather, we'll supply you with wetsuits and windproof jackets. It's advisable to wear a thin base layer underneath, avoiding cotton. Cotton tends to stay wet, making it uncomfortable and cold. Opt for quick-drying materials like polypropylene, thin wool, or fleece to ensure warmth and comfort. On sunny days, regular sportswear is suitable, but it's better to avoid cotton (again). Don't forget your hat and sunglasses. 😎 Regarding shoes, you can wear your own, as our guides will assist in getting you into the water and pulling you back after the tour, so no need to worry about wet feet.
EQUIPMENT
Kayaking and safety equipment is all-inclusive. In colder weather, we provide wetsuits and rain jackets to ensure your comfort and safety. You can also borrow dry bags to safely bring along your belongings.

Our beachside base in Flåm, just a quick walk from the railway station, is where your adventure begins. As you arrive, our kayaks await, neatly lined up, with a friendly guide ready to greet you and your fellow adventurers. After a brief meet-and-greet, we dive into the action-packed kayak tour. This beginner-friendly kayak tour requires no prior experience, as we guide you through every step. First, we'll get you geared up and ensure your paddling outfit fits perfectly. On colder days, we provide wetsuits and rain jackets to keep you warm and dry while you explore. Before embarking on the fjord, we'll acquaint you with the kayaks, adjust your seating, and demonstrate simple paddling techniques and safety drills for a comfortable and safe experience. Once you're ready to depart, our guide will push out all the kayaks—no need to worry about wet feet! While paddling in Aurlandsfjord, we'll raft up (bring the kayaks close together) several times to have a moment to rest and listen to the stories our guide has to share about the area. This journey on the Aurlandsfjord guarantees cherished memories and many opportunities to capture stunning photos. As we kayak towards Fronnes, we'll explore the historical depths of the Aurlandsfjord, passing by waterfalls and mountains. This area holds stone graves dating back to the Viking era, inviting you to learn more about the old days. Along the way, we'll enjoy panoramic views of fjord villages and farms nestled on the other side of the fjord. If we're lucky, seals, porpoises, or otters may swing by to greet the group.
