Long Day Tour to the Nærøyfjord Norway

The Nærøyfjord Norway is truly the pearl of all Fjord Tours – we are sure you will agree when you have seen and experienced the incredible Nature found here! The area is truly unique and definitely one of the most spectacular fjord areas in the world. In July 2005, Nærøyfjord Norway was included on UNESCO‘s prestigious list of World Heritage Parks, thus ensuring that future generations can still enjoy what we are today. We welcome this accomplishment and work actively to preserve this fantastic and natural resource.

The Nærøyfjord heritage park represents an area of total 570 square kilometres in the Counties of Sogn & Fjordane and Hordaland.

We offer guided Sea Kayaking on the Nærøyfjord Norway Tours taking you to the heart of this fantastic area.

Surrounded by Mountains and Glaciers it represents in reality the popular image of the famous Norwegian fjords.

If you plan to visit this area, make sure you do see it from the seat of a kayak – it is probably the most harmonic way to experience the fjords, while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery.

You need to meet us at our Sea Kayaking Center in Gudvangen by 9:00 if you want to join us for this tour, meeting in Voss is not possible as we leave earlier. This means you may have to plan staying in Gudvangen the night prior to the tour or plan for early travel. Our trips usually return to Gudvangen by 5:45pm.

If you are coming up from Bergen, there are direct buses to Gudvangen 2 or 3 times a day, check www.skyss.no for timetables.

The Nærøyfjord – the scenery is spectacular and here we will be spending our day Kayaking, for one of the most unique Fjord Tours!

At our base in Gudvangen our guide first go through the plans for the tour before we get you equipped with your personal paddle gear for the tour.  We set up our Kayaks for best comfort and host a Kayak Safety briefing before getting on the water. Our guide will ensure an unforgettable fun time for all the members of the groups they lead.

We paddle into the very heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Park in our kayaks and leave all roads behinds us as we take you to the special places only accessible by kayaks and small boats.  We paddle past small local farms, waterfalls, green forest clad mountains – during spring and early summer these mountains are still snow covered on the top. We stop a few times during the day at hidden gems and get out to stretch our legs and take a well deserved rest. Groups are usually relatively small with 4-10 paddlers plus our guide.

Guides will share their knowledge about the area and local history and culture with you, providing an insight to life along the fjords from early settlement until today. The area is rich in interesting Geological features, has a rich Fauna adapted to the special climate prevailing in the fjords. All in all a fantastic day out and highly recommended by many independent travelers as well as most leading Travel guides.

In order to join this tour you will need to be normally fit to fit+. We spend more hours in the kayaks and go further so previous kayaking experience is an advantage on this tour but not a requirement. 

The tour is fully catered and we serve a delicious lunch cooked in the outdoors, refreshments are included. No need to bring your own food. We cater for all food requirements if notified in advance when booking. We also have luggage storage areas where you can store suitcases/belongings that you will not be needing on the trip at our base. Just ask a member of staff and they can organize this for you.
