Oslo Fjord Kayak Tour – “Fjord City”

Explore Oslo’s spectacular modern waterfront from the seat of a kayak. Whether you are an adventurous traveller or an Oslo resident, we welcome you to join us on this short guided kayak tour, starting from central Oslo. This kayak tour is a great way to see Oslo from a unique perspective and combines urban exploration with nature, meaning you get to experience Oslo at its best. On this kayak tour you will learn basic kayaking skills, all the while breathing fresh air, and using your body. This kayak tour is suitable for total beginners and ages 5-years plus. Note, kids under the age of 13 years must go in a double kayak with their caregiver.

It is also a great way to meet new kayak friends that also live in Oslo and share a passion for outdoor adventures, that you can then go kayaking with afterwards on Oslofjord and all around Norway!

Please wear comfortable clothes suitable for the days weather conditions (you can search “Weather Oslo” to find out the days conditions), and bring water, sun glasses and sunscreen. Bring your swimwear and towel if you would like to go for a swim in the fjord after the kayak tour.
