Fun adventure in Oslo - Our tour happened on a windy & choppy day, but the guides did a great job making the trip fun, interesting, and safe. They gave us a tutorial on how to row the kayaks, and they were surprisingly easy to maneuver and navigate. It would have been better on a calm day, but kayaking around the harbor was still fun!

Accessible to all and essential to discover the beauty of the fjord otherwise - Discovering a part (because it's very big) of the Oslo Fjord by kayak (two-seater for my wife and I) was a remarkable experience, with good weather and calm sea moreover!
The guide was friendly and professional, putting confidence and letting everyone gradually adapt to the pace (tranquil) of the ride.

Amazing experience - This was the highlight of our trip to Oslo! We did the tour as a family and it was so much fun. Olivia was an amazing guide, she gave us all the necessary instructions and guided us safely towards the islands and back. The experience is a bit pricy, but definitely worth it!

Unique and beautiful way to see the Fjord! - Had a great time on the water! Guide was more than happy to provide waterproof leggings and a kayak jacket to help keep us waterproof. Coached us through getting into the kayak in the water and how to keep ourselves from falling out! Saw a seal, cormorants and some beautiful scenery. Thoroughly recommend!

Kayaking is the best!!! 🥝 - What an amazing time. Felt very relaxed and quite comfortable kayaking around Oslo Fjord. Was able to get a 2 person kayak (1/2 the paddling 😆). Saw 2 seals and a jellyfish. Our guide was always up for a chat and very knowledgeable of the area.
A future tip: maybe look into getting a headset and speaker for the guide, so all kayakers can get a clear informative tour, like I did 👍
Great job 👏

Great kayak trip with Chris from Mad Goat - We went on the tour on Oslo Fjord. Chris was our guide and he was amazing. He was able to run the tour with people of different abilities and everyone had a great time. We were mostly beginners and he taught us well and made us so comfortable. It was the highlight of my Oslo experience. Great for experienced or novice kayaker. Thanks so much to Mad Goat and especially Chris.
