We had so much fun on this trip. We met the guides in the center of Bergen (easy location by Tourist Center) and then took a 40 minute ride to the location. We kayaked on the North Sea (note that it’s not a fjord). We had a perfect weather day! Our guide, Victor, was personable and fun. We were on the water for 2+ hours. You will get wet but not completely soaked. It was the perfect start to our trip.

This tour was about a 40 minute ride out of Bergen . Our tour guide was amazing - when she realized we were experienced kayakers she took us all around the area which was beautiful and brought us to an area where we got to swim, look at sea creatures - We found starfish and beautiful shells. Our family loved it And our tour guide was great. Please keep in mind. You will get wet so bring a towel or two and possibly a change of clothes.

Our guide was amazing and able to adjust his assistance level to meet the needs of the different individuals in our group. I needed more assistance and planning getting in and out of the Kayak. Others were very independent. He gave just the right amount of guidance for everyone. His tour was fun and interesting. The food was delicious. One of the highlights of our trip to Norway!

The kayak trip was beautiful, great for the soul and well planned. Andreas, our guide is so knowledgeable, competent and engaging. He truly loves the natural world and this showed through to all of us. He also made us a delicious lunch after our adventure that was a Norwegian favorite. We highly recommend this trip! Thank you, Andreas.
