A fun day! - Good tour for beginners and families! Our group could have paddled a bit further and longer than what we did, but we had a good time. Our guide Jonas had a great sense of humor, and was passionate about Norway, and kayaking.

Wonderful Kayak tour - 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.

Great Experience! - 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!

A perfect kayaking experience! - We had an amazing time kayaking with our guide, Victor. He made the whole process easy and accessible for our group of non-expert kayakers, sharing interesting and fun facts as we explored the coastline. After our kayaking experience, we had the most delicious homemade fish soup with waffles for dessert. All in all, a perfect day!

A beautiful kayak trip - 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.

Kristin from Austin - Great experience! Our guide was crazy and fun! She shared stories of wild sheep (🐑—🙄), we tasted seaweed (surprisingly tasty), saw oysters, starfish and jellyfish and enjoyed our lunch (even the weird cheese on a 🧇) after our workout! Just do it, have fun and get outside! Kristin from Oregon 😂

- We had a group of 4 and we were excited for this tour. It was the hottest day of the year with minimal wind, no boats and still water. We were let down by our tour guide, Iga. She did not share a plan and told us to just follow her slowly so we can chat. There was very little kayaking while she talked about seaweed. We were also told we were not going to stop for lunch on an island, though the other group at the same time did. She was rude to the beginner in the group and it made us all uncomfortable. She was also unorganized in the kayak set up, telling us to hurry up then she would go take a break getting a snack and asking us to wait. When setting up the person in the back with the turn pedals, she set them without asking if they were the right length and comfortable. Multiple people were in pain by the end, we were lucky and had another nicer woman help us set up correctly. She also said we could not leave shoes at the dock, only to be told by other guides it was fine. For this price, I was disappointed with the experience and would never recommend her as a guide to anyone.
