See Oslo from a unique perspective, while kayaking down the beautiful Akerselva River. You might also find a new side to yourself – your wild side! So join us & embrace your inner “Goat” while kayaking through central Oslo, & out onto the wonderful Oslo Fjord. *If your child is under 10 years then we recommend you book our “Akerselva Packraft Tour” which they can join.

Our kayak tour starts in central Oslo at the Nedre Foss Gård Park, which is located beside the famous Mathallen (Food hall). From here we paddle through Grunerløkka, where you will experience an incredible blend of nature and city life - something Oslo is famous for! Continuing our urban kayak adventure we arrive in Grønland - Oslo’s cultural heart! From here we paddle out onto the Oslo Fjord – but first through a 500m long tunnel thats flows underneath the heart of Oslo city!

To end the trip we will paddle out into Oslofjord, past the new Munch Museum & finish beside the Oslo Opera House – an iconic Oslo landmark!

River Rendezvous - Christian and Mateo were fantastic! It was a scenic paddle down the river and a lovely way to start our afternoon and see a different part Oslo.

Book this adventure for your next trip to Oslo! - We had an absolutely wonderful time. Christian was our guide (hysterical and informative) and Mathias was our helpful driver/set-up and break-down person. Only recommendation: our group of 12 felt a bit big for one in-water guide mostly due to differing levels of kayaking experience, but this was not a deterrent of our fun. Highly recommend booking this trip on your next Oslo adventure!

River kayaking for a family - We did Alkerselva river tour as a family (one teen and one preteen). It was a fun and easy kayaking. A great way to go through Oslo and be in the water around Munch! A highly recommended activity for everyone!

A fun time doing something a little different in Oslo. - It was something different - fun with some surprises. The guide was great - he was funny, knowledgeable, and great at helping even novices feel comfortable in the kayak.

Awesome experience - Had an absolute blast on this tour, so much so that I did my Vått Kort with Filip for my birthday soon after. I’m now hooked and even tried white water as well. Everything is an experience and they have never let me down on anything I’ve done with them.

The other Oslo experience - We had the pleasure to be instructed and guided by two people who provided us the other experience under and at Oslo with the tunnel and the seaside view at the end. We can really recommend it. Thanks to Christian and Matthias
