A wonderful afternoon kayaking - What a wonderful experience! We were visiting on a cruise and had a short-ish window of time in Kristiansand. Hakeem kindly moved the experience to start an hour earlier so it would ensure we were back to the ship in good time. Communication prior was excellent and very thorough so we knew where to be and when. We were met near the port and taken to the starting point via a taxi (this was all included within the price paid). Hakeem was so friendly and calm and explained everything really well so we felt safe on the water. There were members of our group that struggled physically so he tethered their kayaks to his to help them along which meant the group could all stay together. I would suggest that you need average to good fitness to be able to complete the experience. Especially if, like us, the wind is blowing hard against you. Overall a really stunning way to spend 2 hours or so in Kristiansand! Thank you Hakeem!

Cozy trip down the river - The feeling of kayaking down the river was so nice and relaxing, we took it in a slow pace, but one could paddle around fast if one wanted to do that. When the weather is good, it's absolutely something I would recommend doing.

Wonderful river kayaking tour - Highly recommend this tour and Hakeem, the brilliant guide (he used to be Nordic Kayaking Champion so you're in safe hands!). All the organisation beforehand was very slick, he was responsive to questions via WhatsApp, and put everyone at ease. Some people on our tour had never been in a kayak before but he calmed their nerves and they were soon really comfortable and enjoying it. The river tour was lovely - serene, peaceful, and very relaxed. Meandering pace, nothing strenuous, and we had lots of time to chat in groups as well as to enjoy the peace of the water on our own. I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 hour trip, and I would not hesitate to book with Hakeem again. Really lovely experience.
