Tour description

Join an experienced guide on the canals of the Art Nouveau city of Ålesund in the winter months. This time of year, you’ll feel like you have the city to yourself. Just you, the sound of your paddle hitting the water, and the ocean breeze.
This winter kayak tour is perfect for beginners, families, and anyone who wants a different way to discover Ålesund.
Thanks to the Gulf Stream, temperatures always stay mild enough that the canals never freeze over. The sea is extra clear, so you have an even better chance to spot fish and starfish than you'd get in summer.
Your guide has years of experience and local knowledge, and you'll paddle in stable double kayaks, so everyone gets a safe, comfortable experience. No previous paddling experience needed; your guide gives you all the instructions before you settle into your seat. And while it's chilly outside, you'll stay warm in your drysuit.
Have a great winter kayaking trip!
