Great Kayak tour from Ålesund out off the harbor around some small islands with stunning views on the mountains. Antonin introduced us to the right technique, gave us equipment like dry suits and shared some historic stories. Also, he took great photos of us and shared further tips for hikes. We enjoyed the activity a lot and would recommend it.
Excellent P&O organised trip

We had the best time!! We booked put trip through P&O at a very competitive price. We were met at the ship by our guide Gary, who was great fun, then went to the activity office to get kitted out. We were given a dry suits and shoes, so there is no need to worry about getting your clothes wet. Just dress warmly. There are lockers to pop big bags and coats, so there no need to worry about that either. Kev joined us in the sea, and his story and instructions were interesting and clear. I have done activity in the UK like this before but this was by far superior. We had the best time, and I would highly recommend it.

We had a great couple of hours on the water with Olivia and Alejandro as our guides. My husband and I were in a two person kayak which worked out well. The back person steered with the foot pedals controlling a rudder at the back. We were in a group of 4- two person kayaks. With an odd number of guests, one guide shared a two person kayak and the other had her own single kayak. We paddled through the canal and out into the area of the nearest barrier islands. The group gathered several times for the guides to tell us history of the city of Ålesund, information about the fishing industry, history of the archipelago with Viking history and information about travel and commerce throughout time. Olivia’s family is from near the area, and she was able to add personal details of how the city has changed. We also saw many sea birds and a seal swimming in the water. They did a great job of keeping the group together with adequate breaks for information. I would definitely take this again.
Fun and unique experience in Alesund.

Fun way to see Alesund from the sea. All equipment was provided (life jackets, waterproof tops, spray skirts). Kayaks were very comfortable. Easy experience even for a beginner kayaker, a more experienced person might want a bit more. The guide was helpful and thorough.
Great way to see the city!

I had a fantastic time kayaking out from the centre of Ålesund into the ocean and along the coast. The guide, Mads, was lovely and very helpful. Also, really knowledgeable about the sport. As a total beginner, it was great to be taken through the basics so well. There were eight in our group and one kayak had some difficulties but Mads was sympathetic and helpful. Weather was fantastic too, which made a massive difference. Well worth the money and I would happily go again.
Great company and fabulous trip

Visited Alesund during a cruise and took a sea kayaking trip with Uteguiden. It was our first time kayaking at sea but the guides, Laura, Ben and Philip were excellent. Everything was well explained and in perfect English. They were very knowledgeable about the history of Alesund and the area. A excellent trip and amazing experience kayaking around the Queen Anne cruise ship

The tour was great! We have never kayaked before and felt absolutely picked up by Laura and Philip! The tour was conducted in English, had a perfect length and especially the last third was super nice in the middle of the city right past the typical Art Nouveau villas. The crowning result was that we also paddled right up to our Mein Schiff 2 in the harbour (with it we were also here in Ålesund). This was a great experience and we would book it again anytime the same way:-)
