Your safety is our utmost priority during your kayak adventure. While our aim is to keep you in the kayak at all times, we acknowledge the possibility of accidents. Hence, we utilize high-quality, stable double kayaks that are intentionally difficult to tip over. These kayaks feature wide cockpit openings, allowing for easy exit in the rare instance of a capsize, enabling you to resurface for air without difficulty.

Furthermore, our experienced guides will provide thorough instructions before the trip, ensuring you're well-equipped with the knowledge of what to do in case of a capsize. Our goal is for you to feel confident and ready to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

Be assured that your safety is of utmost importance to us, and we've taken every precaution to ensure that your kayak adventure is both thrilling and safe. Join us and discover the fjord's beauty with peace of mind!

We have 8 double, 2 single, and 1 triple top-tier kayaks crafted by Prijon.

In the triple kayak the 3rd person must be a child (shorder than 120cm), who will not paddle. The triple kayak is also perfect for dog owners, since your furry friend can happily sit in the middle, as you paddle forward!

Yes, absolutely! We have a high quality triple kayak from Prijon, which fits 2 people and your furry friend! Just let us know in advance, and we will make sure that the kayak is reserved for you!

No, you do not need a paddle pass to go on this tour.

Yes, indeed. We will meet at our Base in Voss, and from there, you'll be transported to the fjord in our company van. Just sit and enjoy the magnificent views!

Yes absolutely, that's not an issue at all.

We have shelves available for storing your belongings while you're out on a tour. Rest assured, there's always a member of our staff present at the base, so your items will be securely looked after— nothing goes missing on our watch!

There's no maximum age limit for our tour. As long as you're physically fit, you're more than welcome to join us!

Tipping isn't customary in Norway, as it is e.g. in the USA. Our guides put in considerable effort to ensure your experience is both enjoyable and safe, maintaining the high standards set by Outdoor Norway.

While tipping is recognized as a standard practice in the industry and is always welcomed, it's never an obligation. It's entirely up to your discretion whether you choose to leave a tip. Your appreciation for the service provided is greatly valued either way.

Yes.

Upon joining any activity, a waiver acknowledging risks must be read and signed. For minors, a parent or guardian is required to sign the waiver.
