Itinerary

The afternoon warms you up with an E-Trekking Bike cycling tour around the lake – approximately 24 kilometres. Along the way you will hear fun facts and historical retellings of the region, and how it made its mark in Norway’s history books. You will also stop at Bordalsgjelet – a deep and scenic gorge with a fun hiking trail. (2,5 hours)

Activity check-in for day one at 2:30 pm. Hotel check-in from 3 pm onwards.
Your second-day adventure kicks off at Basecamp with a classic sea kayaking tour on the Naeroyfjord, the most beautiful and wildest arm of the Sognefjord, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Naerøyfjord which offers incredible views of cascading waterfalls, unique nature and wildlife, and historic farms that have been clinging to the mountainside for centuries. Along the way we will make a couple of stops to enjoy snacks and refreshments and photograph some of the area’s most iconic landscapes. A full day of quiet, peace and tranquillity in Norway’s iconic fjord region before returning to Voss and checking into your accommodation. (7 hours total incl. transportation).
After breakfast, you will be picked up and taken to Mt. Oksen: a classic and breathtaking mountain that stands a little over 1,200 meters above sea level. The trail begins in Tjoflot and winds its way nearly 1000 meters vertically from the car park through steep forest, before opening up and offering views of the surrounding fjords and mountains. The top offers a 360-degree panorama picture of Samlafjorden, Sørfjorden, Eidfjorden and Granvinsfjorden, as well as Norway’s third largest glacier: Folgefonna. All these fjords mentioned are branches of Hardangerfjord, the second biggest fjord in Norway.

The day will end back at your accommodation where you will have the rest of the day at leisure. (7 to 8 hours total incl. transportation).
After breakfast, day three starts at Basecamp and will make the most out of Voss’s central landmark: The Vosso River and Lake Vangsvatnet.

River guided SUP boarding tour. Propelled by your paddle, you will get to enjoy Voss from a different, and slower, perspective. Take your time as you explore the River and the lake’s shoreline, admiring the small life that finds refuge there, as well as experiencing the stunningly clear, blue water that flows at the Vosso River. (2,5 hours).

After returning to base and enjoying a lunch break, your day will be wrapped up with a mountain biking ride on some of Voss’s most beloved single track. With three options available for two-wheel exploration, anyone, no matter their skill level, can explore Voss’s mountain bike scene in comfort and style with our high-quality full suspension E-Moutain bikes (2,5 hours approximately)
After breakfast, you will meet at Basecamp for your final day of adventure, with the magnificent Raundal River. Here you will explore Norwegian nature from an inflatable raft while learning new skills, challenging yourself, and working as a team. Known as a northern European mecca for whitewater kayaking, the river offers playful sections for rafters looking to enjoy grade III rapids.

The sweat you build up while paddling will be rewarded with cooling swims in the clear river pools and waterfalls found along the way. (3 hours incl. transportation).

From here (around 1:30 pm) you will say goodbye and take great memories from your adventure time in Western Norway

WILL I FALL OUT THE RAFT, KAYAK OR SUP-BOARD? IF I DO, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Our primary goal is for everyone to stay safely in the boats and boards, but surprisingly, some actually enjoy the thrill of going overboard. It can be initially disorienting, yet exhilarating. Many people have taken multiple trips and never fallen in, while some experience it on their first outing. It's all part of the water experiences.

Before starting the activities, you'll receive thorough guidance on handling an unexpected dip and how to navigate the water confidently. By following your guide's instructions, your unexpected 'swim' might just become the highlight of your adventure—a tale to share with friends later on!

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO GO ON THIS TOUR?

Our beautiful Fjord landscapes and rivers transition notably between May and October, each month offering unique attractions for travel.

For the sunniest and most stable weather, June through late August stands out prominently. Hence, our 5-day tour primarily operates during these months.

However, the breathtaking beauty of the Raundal Canyon, Naerøyfjord, and Voss ensures a fantastic experience throughout the entire season.
