Perfect kayak trip! - We had such a wonderful time with our guide Iris. She shared her knowledge about the islands, the wildlife and her love for kayaking and nature with us - time was flying during the trip! We also had the luck of having very calm sea which made the experience even better and not exhausting at all. The kayaks were very easy to handle even though it was our first time. At our lunch break on a little island everyone got a local "eplemost" and delicious wraps! This trip is a must if you're in or around Bergen!

Amazing kayaking day - What a perfect day. Victor picked us up right on time and was the most amazing guide. He showed our small group of 8 everything we needed to know to maneuver our kayaks through the water. He spent time with each of us along the way and pointed out so many interesting things. The lunch afterword was delicious, especially the homemade waffles for dessert. So glad we did this. Thank you Victor.

Great kayaking on the North sea - We had a great time. Victor, our guide, was super friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience really fun. Would highly recommend. Something we wouldn’t have done on our own.

A very memorable day - We spent our only morning in Bergen kayaking and came away delighted with the choice. We had a great time exploring the fjords with our guide Johan who did an impressive job making sure each of his guests enjoyed their experience. There was a range of physical ability and familiarity with kayaking among the group, but everyone more than enjoyed their time on the water. We learned about local history and wildlife and wrapped up with a nice Norwegian lunch. One of our favorite days of the trip.

Great trip! - The kayak trip is actually in the North Sea, not the fjords. It was windy and very choppy. Beautiful and the guid Victor, was amazing! He found a bunch of hidden spots out of the wind and told us all about the area. Two of our group couldn’t kayak so they fished. The fish they caught, our guide cooked them and we ate them right from the sea! So delicious! We had an amazing time! Highly recommend!

Great experience - 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.

Pick up was delayed due... - Pick up was delayed due to a breakdown but our guide communicated with us twice about the delay. We drove 30 mins to the most outward islands to a very remote location. We were given wet gear to put over our street clothes; pants and jacket. All kayaks are doubles. The guide was knowledgeable about seaweed and sea life. We even paddled part of the North Sea which was pretty interesting. We were on the water for about 2.5 hours and then were given a lunch. All in all an enjoyable day
