A Must To Do in Oslo - Though it was a rainy day for us, I was very happy we still continue with our adventure. The rain had nothing on us and the entire experience was great!

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!

A different water view of Oslo. - Great little kayak tour down some gentle rapids and a tunnel in the heart of Oslo. Good tour guides. All the right safety gear. Good for beginners to experienced kayakers who want a somewhat different experience.

Kayaking Adventure in Oslo - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Akerselva River Kayak/Packraft Tour in Oslo! The scenery along the river is stunning, offering a unique mix of peaceful nature and the charm of the city. Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, making the entire journey not only safe but also fun and engaging. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to discover Oslo from a totally different perspective. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Oslo. It’s a memorable way to connect with the city and nature at the same time. The Itatina Team

Nice route, not necessarily in a single kayak but Packcraft boat - Nice guides and pleasant route. We were looking forward to 2 single kayaks, but there were not enough available, so 2 people of the approximately 30 participants should take a Packcraft boat. So is one of us. Very bad - especially for the price!

No Customer Service - I've booked a reservation for September and have tried more than 3 weeks to get a response from this company to cancel my reservation due to cruise itinerary changes. I am well beyond their cancelation dates of two weeks prior. I have sent emails, called, left facebook messages but have not gotten a response. I am not sure why they have time to be on social media but not provide basic customer service responses. So for those booking, please be aware.
