Paddling through Norway’s Wilderness
Experience the magic of gliding silently through glistening snow-melt lakes or feel the adrenaline as you battle the thunderous whitewater rapids. Tailor your trip to be as wet and wild or as dry and tranquil as you like (weather and paddling skill dependant obviously).
This is not your average holiday dream of sun-soaked deserted beaches, this is back to nature, this adventure, this is Norway! Norway has one of the world's longest coastlines thousands of kilometers long with islands, inlets, and of course fjords to explore. From canoe or kayak, Fjord Tours has gathered the best paddle tours to explore Norway's stunning landscape.

Tips for canoeing and kayaking trips
- Choose the trip by ability and show respect for weather and weather forecasts
- You must be able to self-rescue and prove your competence level should you wish to explore without a guide
- It is a good idea to carry an emergency first aid kit with a dry bag and a set of dry clothes
- Energy: Always have some chocolate, nuts, or similar readily available, as well as water and a thermos flask with a hot drink
- The optimal campsites along rivers or lakes have easy landing conditions (sandy beach), flat grassy areas for pitching tents, and are sheltered from the wind. Leave the place as you found it
