One of the best trips I’ve been on from start to finish. The Nordic Paddling guides were absolutely amazing, super friendly, knowledgeable and all round awesome 🙌🏻
The cabin and camp were set in beautiful locations. The logistics, equipment and food were all 5 star. Highly recommend this trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional! - I recently returned from a 6 day sea kayaking and hiking trip, which was incredibly well organised and equipped - from the activities including sea kayaking, hiking, fishing, foraging and night paddling - to the very comfy accommodation on the shores of Lysefjord. All activities were well organised and challenging, catering for all levels and with safety as the main priority. What made the trip exceptional were the amazing instructors - Sebastian, Morten, Frederic and Lukas - their expertise, patience, kindness and cooking skills were outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company.

Action packed short trip in spectacular scenery - A very memorable short break trip, kayaking , hiking and wild camping .
The trip was well run from being collected at the airport by the guide to being issued with the equipment and clothing for the trip,
Our guide Sandra was friendly and made sure we had a fun experience as well as keeping us safe.
We enjoyed kayaking in double canoes on the Lysefjord as well as our wild camping experience.
The hike to pulpit rock was memorable with great views
We would highly recommend this trip to anyone with a sense of adventure

Adventure and fun in a kayak in the Norwegian fjords - Just got back from an amazing 4 day kayaking, hiking and wild camping trip with Nordic Paddling. Went with 5 female friends. It was absolutely brilliant. Dramatic scenery, superbly organised from start to finish, fun, exciting but safe. Our guide Lukas was brilliant and made our trip very special. Such a great way to explore the dramatic Nordic fjords and do something different. Actually being on the water in our kayaks was really incredible. If you want the feeling of having done an adventure, I would thoroughly recommend this trip and Nordic Paddling.

Beauty and tranquility await you! - Superb kayak tour on the magnificent Lysefjord. Top notch material. Despite the cloudy sky, conditions were very good on the water. It was nice to observe the impressive cliffs surrounding the fjord and in particular the famous Prekistolen from below before climbing there. The guide Sandra was just perfect! Attentive and providing lots of clear and interesting explanations. THANKS !
Just a tip, if you are staying in Stavanger and you don't have a car, rent one because there is no bus in the morning to go to the meeting place and I had to take a taxi for around €50 from Jørpland.

Kayaking and hiking Norway - Kayaking and hiking
We were part of the gutsy girls trip, Rasmus and Morton looked after us. The experience was completely safe and very educational and incredible week. We stayed in lodge which I preferred to wild camping.
Morton took us on a couple of local hikes as well which were beautiful - all in all would really recommend ☺️

Great relaxing 3 hour kayak tour... - We desperately wanted to go kayaking in the Nordic fjords and we'd seen great reviews for these guys. We'd also seen them mentioned in the UK Daily Mail in an article about Stavanger. We did the 3 hour tour after the weather meant we could not do the 4 hour tour, but this actually worked out really well for us. The guide (Sandra) was awesome and we had a great relaxing time kayaking, and she took some great pictures of us in action! Highly recommended and the kayaks used seem super stable....they were so good we're going to get one for our use at home as we are fortunate enough to live near a sea inlet. Thanks again to Rasmus and his team.

Amazing hike & kayaking, highly recommend! - What a fantastic experience, I can not recommend Nordic Paddling & Rasmus high enough for such a great trip. The 4 day hike & kayak trip was amazing, Rasmus is a great guide, teacher & cook. Our trip was at the end of October & it was a beautiful time of year to go to see the Autumn colours & such a comfy stay in the cabin on the fjord.
