      Amazing oslo kayak tour.
      A kayak tour in a truly unforgettable location—what an amazing experience! It was quite the workout, so make sure to fuel up beforehand. It’s good to know how to swim, just in case, but if you do fall in, it’s easy to get back on the kayak. Plus, if you’re in a group, the guide and others are always there to help. I also discovered that kayaking really works your whole body! If you want to glide through the water, you’ve got to engage your core 😄. Thanks for the pictures.

      Fun tour!
      We had a great day out on the water. Annette was a very kind and knowledgeable guide and made it an enjoyable and safe experience. All the gear that you need is provided but definitely bring a change of clothes as we got soaked just from the ocean waves. Would definitely recommend this tour!

      Super fun
      A great few hours kayaking the Oslo fjord. Great fun was had by all. Not too hard for an old lady of 66 (me) to enjoy! Sven was a great trip leader and organizer. I would totally recommend for kids and adults both.

      GREAT family kayaking experience
      We really enjoyed our adventure with Sven from Oslo Kayaking Tours! We have a ten and 11 year old. Sven provided us with two double kayaks. He was patient and encouraging with our children and with this mama who had limited kayaking experience. We learned a lot about Norway and kayaking from him. He also captured some wonderful memories and sent pictures to our email address after the trip. I highly recommend this tour for families with children who are active :)

      Du pur bonheur
      Une sortie en Kayak pour relaxer et profiter au maximum de ses vacances à Oslo. Du pur bonheur. We had such a lovely day on the Fjord. The wheather was perfect and the view of Oslo was fantastic. The kayaks and equipment where of excellent quality and well maintained. Our guide was very kind, friendly and knowledgeable of the Fjord, it’s beauty and history. Annett is a true kayak expert to whom security cannot be-compromised. and customer’s relation very important. I highly recommend Oslo Kayak Tour for its professionalism and the quality of their service.

      Only for those who are good with kajak, my husband still has nightmares about almost drowning 3 times.
      We had booked for the 2h tour in the Morning but were asked to join the 3h tour in the afternoon in stead for no extra cost which was nice. Everyone was very friendly when we asked questions. But the trip turned out traumatic. My husband was not able to keep the kajak in balance and fell in the fjord 3 times After which he was totally traumatised about almost drowning and not receiving help. The instructor present gave his own Kajak twice and although my husband wanted to stop convinced him to try again but my husband experienced the same trauma again and again which he actually had nightmares about days After. He honestly thought he was drowning and my daughters had to provide the solution one keeping his Kajak in balance and the other dragging her sister and father along for 45 minutes without help from the instructor. I understand that there were 10 People to assist and not only my husband but letting a 17 year Old girl drag along a 45 year Old man + her 19 year Old sister without any help is not acceptable. If you advertise that no experience is needed, you should be prepare for situations Where a normally built man cannot keep his Kajak straight and what you should do in these circumstances. This way my daughters did not enjoy the remainder of their trip and my 17 year Old had muscle pains for days dragging 170kgs (without counting the weight of the kajaks) for 45 minutes while there was a grown man instructing them Who could have dragged them along. Change your Policy to only for those experienced with kajak because when you do not know how to kajak there is no help provided and nobody helps you when you almost drown, on the contrary they ask you to almost drown several times.

    We are a 50 year old mother and 11 year old son. We took this tour during a 2 day break to Oslo and loved it. We arrived in Oslo in the morning, dropped off our luggage at our hotel before picking up some public hire bikes and cycling down to the Marina. It's a lovely spot where we enjoyed skimming stones and looking for fish in the rock pools. There are some shops and cafes just outside and across the road from the Marina but nowhere to get drinks or snacks so bring a drink with you. We met our guide, Annett, who gave us a quick introduction and set us up with our kayaks. We didn't have kayaking experience but didn't need any - it was easy to learn and we were soon on the water enjoying the amazing views. Waterproof shoes were provided for us. The kayaks come out of a lockable container in which we were able to store our valuables while we were on the water. Annett took photos for us so we didn't need to take our phones with us. The scenery was wonderful and it wasn't too challenging. I definitely recommend!

    I went on a kayak trip with my husband, daughter who just graduated college, and friends. We have kayaked all over the world and these women were truly remarkable. We got there, and they were exceedingly prepared and helpful with all the correct gear. They were very engaging and knowledgable on Oslo and kayaking. We spent 3 hours on the water with them and a two hour lunch where they prepared for us delicious local food. It was one of prettiest and most delightful rides I have ever experienced. I couldn't recommend using them enough!! The Oslo fjord was also gorgeous.

    We had a really perfect trip on the Oslo fjord with Annett! We were a small group of six, and after a thorough introduction to the safety vests, boats etc. we set out on the water. We were so lucky that after a rainy early morning even the sun came out! Annett had at lot of insights on the surrounding places, showed us nesting birds from a safe distance, house boats and beaches. For my friends, it was the first trip with Oslo Kayak Tours, and they really enjoyed it, being absolute kayak beginners. For me it was even the third trip with them on the fjord So, obviously: I highly recommend these trips!

    Spent a glorious 2-3 hours on the water with my teenage son and daughter. We had all been in Kayaks before but not for a while (in my case 30 odd years!). We had a group of 8 people in all, all of different abilities. Tanja spent time making sure everyone was happy and kitted out correctly for the trip.
    We paddled up the coast enjoying the waves buffeting the boats. Tanja paddled around making sure everyone was ok.
    My kids really enjoyed the experience and are already looking for a local river where we can go again. Really recommend it as something different to do. Thanks

    Tanja was a lovely host to us considering we were unintentionally late. The tour takes you through some coast line that is interesting to look at. But this is the city of Olso , so obviously not the spectacular fiords of other parts of the country. Tanja shared some interesting history and a few local tales. Fun day out on the water. There is a spot you can go cliff jumping, so dress for your adventure if you choose this.

    Within 2 hours of landing in Oslo i was in a kayak exploring the islands of Oslo fjord with Annett and the group - the perfect way to start my stay in Oslo. Annett was so accommodating and helpful providing a relaxing, yet adventurous atmosphere to the day. I would highly recommend Oslo kayak!
