Highlight of our trip! - Kayaking the fjord with Nordic Paddling was the best part of our Norway trip. The location was easy to get to with their directions. They provide all the gear, but you should definitely bring a big water bottle, and maybe change of clothes (I stayed dry but my husband got soaked, it seems this was the case for other people too and I don’t know why). Dan was an awesome guide. He was calm and funny and made everyone in the tour group feel included. He gave really good instruction and even though we weren’t super experienced with kayaking (there was someone else on the tour who had never kayaked before too), it was pretty easy to get used to, especially since the kayaks were comfortable. The weather was thankfully amazing - sunny, beautiful, calm. Everyone was allowed to go at their own pace and Dan gave good information on some of the things we were passing and seeing. He was very easy to talk to and friendly. And of course, the views were stunning and so serene. If we were staying longer we probably would have come and kayaked again with Nordic Paddling. Worth every single penny spent!

Stunning fjord paddle experience - Unbeatable trip down the beautiful Lysefjord! Expertly led by Anna with a lot of care and attention to safety and great information about the history of the fjord and pointing out of local landmarks (including the incredible Pulpit Rock). Some stamina needed on the way back with wind and waves against us but exhilarating because of this! If you like stunning scenery and being in any kind of boat, then make sure this is on your 'must-do' list!

Brilliant day out - It was an amazing experience. From the start to the end we were taken care of. The kit was great and the boats were great quality. The scenery is incredible and it was a really amazing way to see the fjord up close and get a sense of the scale of it. Anna was a brilliant guide, knew lots and fun to spend the day with

11/10 Guided kayak tour - After a short and complete safety briefing from our nice guide Anna we felt confident to enter the fjord which we did. During the tour we saw the beautifull nature the fjord has to offer and Anna gave us some nice insights on the scenery we where seeing. Overall it was a great experience with an excellent view of the fjord, a nice and experienced guide and good quality gear. Ps. We reccomend the tour especially with our excellent guide Anna.
