Hidden fjord kayak tour highlights

The Hjørundfjord is one of the most spectacular and unspoiled fjords in Norway. Spend half a day kayaking in this natural paradise, viewing the overwhelming rock walls towering over you with waterfalls with clear drinking water, all in a tranquility you find in few places today. This kayak tour is out and back from the sleepy town of Urke (40 inhabitants). At the end of the tour you can enjoy a cup of coffee and a Norwegian waffle at the cozy cafe, Urke Kaihus, from where the Fjordcruise boat to and from Ålesund leaves.

FAQ

You do not need any kayaking experience to join this kayak tour.

For safety reasons we use double kayaks which are very stable. We might have some single kayaks available but this cannot be guaranteed and the guide always has the last decision about what kayaks will be used by whom (regarding weather, waves, group of guests, experience etc.)

Testimonials

Thomas

We had a great time at the Kayak tour guided by Nathan. I came here with no experience at kayaking and it was no problem at all. I would definitely do it again – it was great fun and a rewarding experience.

Aida

We came across the tour by accident and thought it was wonderful! The beauty of this place is simply breathtaking and not overrun by tourists. Definitely worth a visit and also a tour with Norway Adventures!

Gurli

The weather was wonderful and the instructions and guiding was very good. The scenery of the step mountains, the shining white snow patches, the streams and waterfalls made a deep impression on us, even though we live in Norway.
