Paddle Geiranger Fjord on a small-group kayak tour with an English guide, aiming for Skagevika views of Gjaerdefossen near Eagle Bend.

“My husband & I joined in on the guided kayak tour recently whilst in the Geiranger area- neither of us had been kayaking since we were kids, so were a bit nervous, but our guide Stephan was fantastically patient and helpful and went the extra mile with his information all about the area and the fjord too - we managed to get all the way out to the 7 sisters waterfall and had an amazing (if tiring!) time. Highly recommend this tour to get a different perspective of this beautiful fjord from the water.”

They had thick ponchos to give us which kept us mostly dry underneath so we were fine! The kayaks were comfortable and easy to use (inflatables so quite light) and Peter was a good teacher. Would highly recommend this activity for all skill levels.”

Personally, did not add up to the price for me. Or maybe spend more time kayaking around the fjord where we ended.”
