Key Information

Day 1

Meet your crew

A view of the Bergen from the water in Norway.

Head for Bergen – Gateway to the beautiful Fjords and a European city of culture, and transfer by road to your accommodation in Voss. Check into your guesthouse, explore, grab some dinner and then get a good night's sleep before hitting the water in the morning.

Day 2

On the water

A kayak paddles along the serene waters of the Naeroyfjord in the Norwegian Fjords on a cloudy day.

Kayaking

12km

Pack your gear into dry bags and set off on an unforgettable day paddling down the beautiful and tranquil Nærøyfjord. Arrive at your campsite in the late afternoon, kick back and enjoy the stunning scenery and then relax around the campfire while the barbeque is cooking. If you want, there’s the option for a short walk to get a view of the fjord from above.

Day 3

Kayak and fly home

A kayaker paddling along the Nærøyfjord in Norway.

Wake up in a Norwegian paradise and then enjoy a leisurely breakfast before heading out onto the water again. Kayak along the Nærøyfjord and into the Aurlandsfjord, exploring the magnificent cliff faces and paddling past rarely visited waterfalls – great for seal spotting. You'll put in at the remote village of Undredal, then it's time to head back to Bergen in time for your flight home.

Transfers

On Day 1, there is a fixed-time group transfer from Bergen airport to your accommodation in Voss. For the 2025 season, the transfer time varies throughout the season as it is planned to coincide with the scheduled arrival time of the Norwegian Air direct flight from London Gatwick (Flight DY1317 or DY1315).

  • For departures starting between 24 June - 15 August 2025 inclusive: the transfer to Voss will depart Bergen Airport at 13:00. Any flight which arrives by 12:30 will be fine.
  • For all other 2025 departure dates, the transfer to Voss will depart Bergen Airport at 12:15. Any flight which arrives by 11:45 will be fine.

If you are unable to arrive in Bergen at this time you can still get to Voss via the train - see FAQs for details.

Dinner

What is the food like?

Toasting marshmallows over the campfire in the Norwegian Fjords.

Dinner and breakfast will be prepared by your guide over the campfire. The menu will vary but expect things like rice and pasta with fresh vegetables, egg, bacon and sausages. There will also be bread and sandwich ingredients for lunch breaks, as well as water, tea, coffee, and wine for the evenings.

The portions are more than generous and all the food is fresh. Any dietary requirements can be met - just tell us your preferences when booking.

What is the accommodation like?

An aerial view of a hostel on the fjord edge in Voss, Norwegian Fjords.
Voss

You'll stay in a local hostel in Voss. Rooms are typically 4-person dorms and may be mixed-sex depending on the group make-up. Your host will confirm the exact accommodation once you have made your travel arrangements. Occasionally alternative accommodation is provided in cabins at Gudvangen Camping (close to the kayaking base) or in a simple hotel in Brandseth.

View from the tent at dawn looking out over the Naeroyfjord in the Norwegian Fjords.
Wild Camping

You’ll camp on the beach in same-sex, twin-share tents and eat a barbeque dinner around the campfire. There is a composting eco-toilet near the camp spot, but no showers – just a lovely fjord to swim in!

Upgrades

If you'd prefer your own room in Voss, your host offers an optional upgrade to a private room at Voss Hostel or alternatively at the 4-star Park Hotel Voss (subject to availability). Park Hotel is conveniently located about 150m from the train station and right on the lakefront. Please see Optional Extras for prices - we recommend that you request this at the time of booking to avoid disappointment.

This trip has been rated as Moderate

No kayaking experience is needed, however, you should have a reasonable level of fitness and the ability to handle approx 25km of relaxed paddling over two days.

What will I need to carry?

Your kayak will be loaded up with your personal items (in dry bags) plus your share of the food and camping gear so you'll have some extra weight on the water. Your main luggage can be stored at the host's kayak base in Gudvangen.

The weather in summer is very comfortable for kayaking and camping, with temperatures at 15-20 degrees Celsius (sometimes more). It can get chilly at night so a warm jumper and thermals are vital. This time of year daylight in Norway is constant, with only 2–3 hours of darkness in the evenings.

From collection to drop off at Bergen the weekend was planned efficiently. Jan and Megan were amazing with their knowledge and information. As for the scenery "Wow" Packing the kayaking and camping into 2 days was an amazing adventure along with the other kayakers. Cant wait to return in Summer

Andrew E.(September 2024)
Crazy weekend getaway

What an amazing weekend getaway. Breathtaking scenery, with great food and good company. We shared stories and jokes on kayaks to sitting around the campfire. We jumped in waterfalls and saw wild seals. With time on the first evening we also spent time walking down the local mountain after catching a gondola up.

Helen C.(September 2024)
Amazing trip, highly recommended!

I joined the 2 day camping and kayaking trip and absolutely loved it. The website description of the tour was spot on. Food was plentiful and delicious and the scenery was stunning. We were joined by a seal or two on the route as a bonus. Our guide Megan was fantastic; patient, enthusiastic and a great cook and photographer!

Susan L.(September 2024)
September 13-15 kayak trip

Absolutely brilliant trip, well organised, Megan was a skilled and friendly guide creating a relaxed atmosphere. Everything ran to plan as described in the holiday description, food was excellent- Megan whipping out a picnic blanket and hot drinks and cold buffet on day one a total surprise, and a substantial evening meal too. Accommodated dietary requirements in group too. The scenery was beautiful, I’d fully recommend this trip.

Caroline E.(September 2024)
Amazing experience

Just back from an amazing weekend. I joined as a solo and as soon as we started meeting at the airport I felt very happy meeting up with everyone on the trip. The hostel in Voss was lovely and a great place to start to get to know the group you are going on the water with. Food was plentiful and my gluten free diet was catered for. Ample wine to wash down the evening barbecue at camp. Big thanks to Pawel our guide for keeping us well fed and watered. If this trip has caught your eye, don't just think about it, book it. You will not regret it.

Simon B.(September 2024)
A highly recommended trip

This was a great trip, with some spectacular scenery. The small group were very friendly, we were very fortunate with the weather and the guide, Hoya, made this a very enjoyable trip. I would highly recommend.

Amazing trip. Beautiful scenary, full day of activities and a great atmosphere for the whole trip. Shoutout to Callum for a warm welcome upon arrive and to David for being an amazing and friendly guide along the trip.

Alexis P.(September 2024)
Dramatic scenery, relaxed and fun.

The fjords are beautiful, atmospheric and definitely worth seeing from a kayak. Absolutely stunning! If was very well organised, David our guide worked hard to make sure we were well fed and was also very knowledgeable. We had a really nice group that gel’d quickly, which added to the experience. Highly recommend.

Bernard K.(September 2024)
Well Run Tour

The whole experince was good rite from the start. Hayo was a great guide who took good care of our group. Overall everything from arrival to departure was well organised amd efficiently run. Facilities at the kayak centre were very adequate.

Olivia H.(August 2024)
A beautiful experience!

An absolutely stunning trip and it felt like a privilege to be exploring such beautiful scenery from the perspective of a kayak and waking up to the most stunning views after wild camping on the edge of the fjord! The food was impressive (both delicious and plentiful) considering that it was all carried in the kayaks and then prepared on the water’s edge!

This was an incredible experience! I’d recommend it to anyone that wanted to experience Norway in the fjords. My breath was taken away around every corner. The tour guide and company was great as well! Everything was taken care of and they went the extra mile! I’d do this exact same tour again!

Amy H.(August 2024)
The adventure of all adventures!

I loved every minute of it. I went in with no expectations. I found the 25km difficult but at the end of it I was shocked I did 25km and thought it wasnt that hard, I thought we did alot less . We saw the cruise boats and all agreed that they were doing it wrong. It's definitely best to enjoy the fijords at a more natural pace. Our guide was so nice too, couldn't meet a nicer fella, it's just an adventure you have to do, I'm at a loss for words to do justice to my own personal experience but its all thanks to our guide, he kept everything running so smoothly in the background while we had a bit of craic, he was like a Ninja Craic Aventure Operator, absolute pro Hayo !! I will definitely be doing this trip once a year. It was my first time doing solo travel and even though most people/90% came in pairs I think it went more than ok thanks to everyone involved.

Caryn J.(August 2024)
Amazing trip!

Really fantastic trip. The scenery in the fjords is even more spectacular than you would expect, and to see it while kayaking is incredibly special. Our guide, Callum, was really good fun and super-organised, making the trip run smoothly with lots of laughs. Brilliant experience.

Miriam(August 2024)
Just stunning. I had heard

Just stunning. I had heard great things about MBA trips and they have lived up to expectations from start to finish. The guides did a fantastic job of ensuring we had everything we need and kept on schedule throughout, and they made it look easy. The fjords were unbelievably beautiful, this was the trip of a lifetime for me and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks so much to the Norwegian Ventures team and MBA for making it a really special experience.

I’ve been on a few kayak trips with MBA now but this one really stands out - the fjords are stunning and unique. Trip is great whether you have lots of kayaking experience or are beginner. Day one is a work out but doable. Our guide (Callum) was professional but fun. Equipment was all top notch. Food/camping was excellent.

Fabulous guide, communication could have been better

Had a fantastic time with Callum guiding us for the Fjords weekend tour. As other reviews have said, you're not left hungry and the dinner we had at camp was the best I'd had all week in Norway. The tour itself was beautiful, if not mildly challenging doing 15k nonstop against the wind, but I'm in my late 30s and not ultra-fit. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is I arrived at the Meetup prior to the tour, as I was travelling beforehand. The promised WhatsApp group for the tour never happened and I couldn't get in contact with the guide on the number provided, so had to contact MBA through live chat to figure out where and when I was supposed to meet everyone. When they suggest bringing your own sleeping mat - do it. The roll mats provided are very thin and if you're a light sleeper, you'll need more padding between you and the ground. Having said all that, I'm better prepared for my next MBA and looking forward to it.

Had the best time with my dad and brothers kayaking the Norwegian Fjords. Everything was so well organised from start to finish. Corey was an amazing guide and host going the extra mile for us all, he made sure we had a trip we’d all never forget!

Food was fabulous, non of us went hungry!

I’d highly recommend this trip and will use much better adventures again in the future! Wish we could do it all again!

Nicola D.(July 2024)
The most incredible experience ever

What an incredible 2 day trip my husband and I had kayaking the Norwegian fjords. Absolutely breathtaking views, well looked after and everything went seamlessly.

Chris W.(July 2024)
Excellent Trip

The trip was very well organised and ran very smoothly. The experience of kayaking in the Naeroyfjord was extraordinary, and only enhanced by the excellent support and knowledge of our guide.

Brid D.(July 2024)
Getting Engaged on the Fjords 💍

We had the most magical engagement thanks to our incredible instructors Bess and Scotty! Bess so was calm and helpful especially when I got nervous on the water she rowed beside us until I felt safe! Scotty brought so much positive energy to the experience and his food was chefs kiss 💯 We got engaged while camping beside the waterfall and our engagement will forever be magical and beautiful

Belinda C.(July 2024)
Great adventure.

As a solo traveller, I was looking for a bit of adventure that was easy to navigate.

I made my own way to Voss via Oslo (via Bergen railway which was awesome), and found the accommodation pretty easily in Voss.

The trip was great, and guides Bessy and Scotty were excellent and kept the energy up. Catering was excellent with snacks as well. The paddling across the two days was just the right amount, as there was some challenging winds on day one. Remember to fill your water - I drank mine quickly and there were few options for streams until landing at camp.

Everything being sorted for you made packing easy, the other people on the trip were good value. All in all a great trip.

Norway itself is stunning. I've never seen so many trees and waterfalls. A great adventure.

Anna I.(July 2024)
An unforgettable adventure

I’m so glad that I’ve booked this trip. It was great from start to finish - nature, friendly staff, good organisation, even food was nice (and I had very low expectations since we were camping). Our guides were Bessie and Scott and they were so professional, friendly and supportive. The nature was breathtaking I honestly didn’t know where to look! Overall a great experience and I would totally recommend it.

Rebecca T.(July 2024)
I had the best weekend

I had the best weekend with Much Better Adventure. Everything from the food, to travel arrangements, and accommodation were spot on; we were very well taken care of.

The hostel in Voss was clean and comfortable, with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was great, with lots to choose from. The setting was beautiful and Voss itself is a lovely little town.

Our kayaking and wild camping was absolutely amazing. The fjords are beautiful, I can’t wait to go back. Our lovely guide, Katie, was brilliant; knowledgeable, interesting and really helped to make the whole experience perfect. We had fantastic food, all prepared by Katie, no one was hungry! I’d highly recommend this trip.

Inderjeet N.(July 2024)
Two day kayaking

A really good trip. Meeting on the first day but nothing the first night. The kayaking itself was really excellent. Two days does feel short but the camping and kayaking is excellent and the guide was very good.

Catherine J.(July 2024)
Amazing Experience - highly recommend!

My partner and I had an amazing weekend kayaking with Nordic Adventures. We were complete beginners but felt very comfortable with our guides Scotty and Bessie, they gave easy, understandable advice! The logistics from before arrival, transfers and activities on the day were super easy and the timings worked really well.

We had a fantastic time - would highly recommend!

Anne M.(July 2024)
Such a fun experience!

What an incredible way to experience the fjords. We were a bit intimidated by the amount of KMs because I had not kayaked for that long, but it was completely manageable. Our guide, Katie, was fantastic - super capable and fun! Would highly recommend this if you are looking for a unique way to see the fjords and like an outdoorsy experience.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.

What's the number?
It works out on average at 39kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.

The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.

But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:

  • Driving 1000miles/1609km would be approx. 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person if there was 2 of you in it).
  • A return economy class flight London - New York would be approx. 1,619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
  • 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approx. 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.

What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.

Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.

Of course. When you arrive at the base you'll be asked to transfer anything you need into dry-bags and can leave anything you don't behind where it will be safely secured in a locker until the end of the trip.

For current advice about travelling in Norway, have a read of the UK Foreign Office pages here.

Our group adventures are adult only, however if you would like to bring children along this can be arranged by requesting a private trip with the host. This trip is suitable for children from age 10 only.

In short - one of the most beautiful places on earth.

A fjord is a deep, narrow and elongated part of the sea that stretches inland for miles, winding around mountains, valleys, and steep cliffs, formed by giant glacier tongues and shaped over several ice ages.

There are plenty of kayaks available, with a mix of single and doubles, depending on your preference.

Absolutely. It's 45 minutes faster than the included transfer and is one of the most spectacular journeys you can take by rail. Here's how:

From Bergen airport, get the Flybussen airport shuttle to Bergen bus station, or the Bybanen (city light rail - cheaper but slower). Buses to/from the airport run every 10-15 minutes, and cost roughly 900NOK (£9) each way. The Bybanen (https://www.skyss.no/en/timetable-and-maps/bergen-light-rail/ ) is approx 40NOK (£4).

From the bus station, it's a few minutes walk to the train station. A taxi from the airport to the train station can be booked for between 350-550NOK (£35-£55), depending on traffic.

Trains run regularly throughout the day and don't need to be booked in advance, with a single ticket to Voss costing roughly 200NOK (£20). Trains to Oslo stop at Voss. You can buy tickets at the ticket office up until 5.30 pm, or from the ticket machines. If you want to check the timetable or book online head to www.nsb.no.

Voss Hostel is a 12-minute walk from the station. Head out of the main station and turn right on the road. Follow the road until just before the roundabout (about 750m) then take the left turning, following the road for 200m more - straight to the hostel.

For the return, make your life easy by jumping on the already included transfers to Bergen Airport.

We can recommend the following from budget to high price. There are many other hotels, however, these are selected for their convenience and / or from experience:

Accommodation in Voss • Voss Hostel - great prices for individuals, couples or large groups. • Voss Camping Cabins - ideal for small groups of 3 to 4. • Store Ringheim Hotel - Perfect for cosy traditional rooms and great food.

Accommodation in Bergen • Montana Hostel, Bergen - great prices for individuals, couples or large groups. • Grand Terminus Hotel - Older style but right next to the train station. • Thon Bristol Hotel, Bergen - great central city location for sight-seeing and night-life. • First Marin Hotel, central city - great central city location for sight-seeing and night-life.

We do not really encourage bringing drones on this trip for several reasons:

• There are limited times where there would be possibilities for flying them.

• We need to keep the campsites free of drone traffic in agreement with the landowners.

• There are often livestock that may get affected and we like to keep a good relationship with the local farmers.

• We have seen some people being frustrated by drone traffic and can understand this.

Having said this, we do not prohibit drone use - as long as it does not interfere with the issues mentioned above and you can fit the drone in the kayak it will be OK to bring it along, but please do discuss it's use with the other group members before deploying it.

The best way is to take the train from Oslo centre to Voss (not Bergen), and then head to Voss Hostel. See the FAQ on how to get to Voss hostel from the airport and just follow the directions from Voss station to the hostel. The train journey takes about 6.5 hours and goes through some amazing scenery.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.

Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on the Government’s FCDO website, where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).

For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ.

Our recommended travel insurance provider is Campbell Irvine.

Travel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures and you are required to provide your policy information before departing.

Your insurance should include adequate protection for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment and the specific activities involved on your adventure. We also strongly recommend it includes cancellation and curtailment insurance, should you be unable to join your trip for specific reasons such as illness.

We fully endorse Campbell Irvine as their insurance offers all of the above, so get in touch with them or call on 020 7938 1734 to get your insurance sorted. We suggest that you book travel insurance as soon as you book your adventure, just to cover you for any last-minute life changes. We know you’re an active lot and injuries do happen!

We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.

We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.

You're always in good company on one of our adventures.

Our trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.

Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way.

It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.

Don't just take our word for it:

  • 95% of people rate the group dynamics on our trips 5/5
  • 90% of people recommend joining a trip to make new friends
  • 75% of people have met people on our trips that they would now consider friends
