$954.99pp
Experience Kayaking in Oslo - the Fjord City!
Explore Oslo’s spectacular modern waterfront from the seat of a kayak on this family and beginner friendly kayaking tour. Whether you are an adventurous traveller or an Oslo resident, we welcome you to join us on this short guided kayak tour, which starts and finishes in central Oslo - making it very easy to coordinate with lunch, other activities and getting back to your hotel/apartment. This kayak tour is a fantastic way to see Oslo from a unique perspective that combines urban exploration, exercise and nature - while experiencing 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.
Kayak Tour Route:
Our kayaking tour starts from Tjuvholmen, where we have a sheltered area to get used to our kayak and equipment before we head out either along the waterfront or out the Oslos closest island Hovedøya. Depending on the weather and group skill level we will paddle around the island before arriving in Bjørvika where you will get to see the magnificent Oslo Opera House and Munch Museum from the seat of your kayak. From here we paddle back to Tjuvholmen taking a different route if the condition permit it.
Kayak Tour Info:
- We have a changing room and secure place you can leave your belongings while on the kayak tour.
- This is a public tour, available to be booked by everyone whether your are a family, team building group, or solo-traveller - if you want a private tour exclusively for your group, please refer to our private group page.
- This Kayak Tour is 2-hours in total from start to finish.
- We provide all necessary kayaking equipment: life jacket, sprayskirt, paddle and kayak.
- Bring a water bottle, sun glasses and wear sunscreen.
- Make sure to wear appropriate clothes to suit the days weather. If it is cold, where thermal layers top and bottom, wet weather gear, wear a warm hat and gloves.
- Bring a spare change of clothes and a towel.
- Wear rain pants / waterproof pants if you want to avoid any drips/splashes of water on your pants while on the kayak tour.
- Depending on the weather and the competence of the group, we will decide on the appropriate tour route.
- We have double kayaks. We reserve these for kids under 13m and those who are uncomfortable going in a singe kayak. Most people are absolutely fine going in a single kayak, even if it is your first time kayaking.
- We provide waterproof bags you can put your phone in while on the kayak trip.
- The tour will go ahead even of there is rain and wind. We only cancel the kayak tour in the event of adverse weather which would put paddlers safety at risk. The tour starts in a very sheltered area and we have alternative routes to suit the days weather conditions.
- Hungry after paddling, we recommend getting a burger at Døgnvill burger which is just around the corner.
If you have just completed your våttkort kayaking course with us, then we recommend this kayak tour as a way to practice your new kayaking skills in a safe and controlled manner with a professional guide by your side. 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!
Do you want to rent a kayak instead? If you have previous kayaking experience and know how to rescue yourself and others, then you can rent a kayak from us and go on your own Oslofjord kayaking adventure. Rent a kayak in central Oslo from us here.
Kayak, paddle, and life vest is included. 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.
