See Oslo from a unique perspective, while kayaking down the beautiful Akerselva River. You might also find a new side to yourself – your wild side! So join us & embrace your inner “Goat” while kayaking through central Oslo, & out onto the wonderful Oslo Fjord. *If your child is under 10 years then we recommend you book our “Akerselva Packraft Tour” which they can join.

Our kayak tour starts in central Oslo at the Nedre Foss Gård Park, which is located beside the famous Mathallen (Food hall). From here we paddle through Grunerløkka, where you will experience an incredible blend of nature and city life - something Oslo is famous for! Continuing our urban kayak adventure we arrive in Grønland - Oslo’s cultural heart! From here we paddle out onto the Oslo Fjord – but first through a 500m long tunnel thats flows underneath the heart of Oslo city!

To end the trip we will paddle out into Oslofjord, past the new Munch Museum & finish beside the Oslo Opera House – an iconic Oslo landmark!

  • I did this with my mom...

    I did this with my mom and we had a great time. It was fun, had great views, and requires zero kayaking experience or athletic ability. The current moves you along most of the way so you can often sit, enjoy, and row just enough to keep your kayak straight. Shout out to Olivia for being a great instructor, taking pictures of each of us with our family/friends, and giving great Oslo recommendations.

  • Bring dry pants and have a great time on the water!

    This was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! It was super fun and a great way to see Oslo. Bring pants to change into. I probably should have assumed so, but hadn’t kayaked before so didn’t know. That is my only regret!

    Fun and effortless trip down the river. Well organized and relaxed staff. I’d recommend this trip as a fun way to see the urban landscape.

  • Fun paddle through the middle of Oslo

    Had a great experience on this 1.5hrs paddle down the river. I’ve kayaked before and managed to get stuck on a rock immediately but the staff helped me off quickly. The paddle through the tunnel was funny as the theme music from Lord of the Rings was playing. Super fun experience, would recommend if you’re kayaked before or not.

  • Great little experience in downtown Oslo

    We bought this last minute, and had a great time. It was on our last day in Oslo. Couple of small little currents, lots of floating down the river, a waterfall to go under in the end. Only thing I would strongly recommend just to book it through the tour operator themselves, the markup was way more than I would have preferred.
