★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 192 reviews · 2 hours · from $125Our pick

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.”
