Justine(November 2023)

Simply spectacular scenery and a very memorable experience … just be prepared for camping on a very primitive level (no showers, no toilets, nowhere dry to sit and plenty of ticks)

Zhi(November 2023)

Highly recommended, brilliant way to explore the fjords, led by an excellent guide

Anna(November 2023)

Hello, it is nice activity to try.

James(November 2023)

Honestly where to begin! Such an amazing experience! The fjords are beautiful, never seen anything like it! Kayaking in them was a dream. Hike was really tough but so worth it at the end. Guide was super friendly and always accommodating. Weather is constantly changing so pack for rain but it makes it more exciting! Would love to do it again!

Clare(November 2023)

What a fantastic time we had! My partner and I wanted to squeeze in an adventure on limited leave left and this far exceeded our expectations. Just enough challenge to make you feel like you've achieved something but not so much that you can't enjoy it in three days. Felt like we were away for a week. Views were beautiful, the trip was amazingly well organised (it's a slick operation), food was great, the hike was a joy.

Our guide, Quiller, was just brilliant. He was highly professional, experienced and knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and encouraged. He also ensured we were very well fed and 'watered'. He had lots of interesting knowledge to impart and was just a genuinely good guy and great company.

We were the only couple in the group which was of mixed age, background and nationality. We had an absolute blast and everyone was so supportive of each other. I laughed a lot - which was a happy bonus.

If you're unsure I'd say just do it but you'll enjoy it more with a decent basic level of fitness. There's a bit of the hike that's quite a steep ascent but it's not technical and the views are always worth it. We're booking our next one asap

Patrick(November 2023)

Overall the trip fulfilled our expectations 100%. Was an absolute joy and a great experience!

Emily(November 2023)

Thank you Much Better Adventures and Jan and Rebecca! We had a wonderful trip with a lovely group of people. The tour was incredibly well organised, so much fun, and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Eilish(November 2023)

Very well organised trip, Cheryl our guide was very good. The scenery was amazing! You can fit more items in the kayak as well as the dry bag supplied but they will probably get a little damp!

Katy(November 2023)

Really great! Incredible views, so fun - loved it

Carley(November 2023)

If you’re reading this review on the fence about booking, just DO IT! What an utterly breathtaking adventure; perfect from start to end. Superbly organised and hassle-free! Exceptional tour guides (shout out to Ollie who was ours). One of the best things I’ve ever spent money on!

Suman(November 2023)

What an adventure! Anyone with reasonable fitness will manage fine with the kayaking and hike. I had zero kayaking experience but the guides are really patient and you will pick it up in no time. Whatever the weather the views of the fjords are almost too good to be true. You will not go hungry on this trip - dinner and breakfast is cooked fresh and ample snacks and lunch options are provided. Highly recommend!!

Bobby(November 2023)

Excellent trip, organised well and amazing view. The local guide company really know what they doing and supply lots of food and excellent hosts.

Conner(November 2023)

The trip was amazing - it was everything I hoped it would be and more! The fjords were absolutely stunning and the photos don't do it justice. I highly recommend this adventure, you won't regret it!

Luke(November 2023)

Great kayaking and hiking trip and group was spot on. Brad was an ace guide and host and looked after us all. I’d love to visit again and will book more tours through the company for sure 👍

John(November 2023)

Awesome trip with a great group. Well organised and our host, Rebecca, was incredible and always smiling and enthusiastic even when the weather was against us. Views both during the hike and on the water we’re breathtaking.

Fiona(November 2023)

What an incredible adventure. Beautiful scenery, peaceful kayaking. The walk had a steep section for about 45 mins!! But the views were spectacular. Our guide Ollie was 💯 awesome. Everything was super organised. Food was fantastic and lots of it. The people in my group made it extra special, everyone was kind and so much fun. Exceeded my expectations and would totally recommend.

Richard(November 2023)

This was my first experience with Much Better Adventures and it was a fantastic tour. Norway is a fantastic country to see, made even better by having an excellent guide and sharing the experience with a group of like-minded, fun people.

Josephine(November 2023)

I am so happy I booked this trip! My friends and I got back to London exhausted but so refreshed. The views make all the efforts worth it. Our guide Katie was very skilled and bubbly . She kept us well fed and motivated even through a bit of rain and the steepest bits of the hike. I loved it and would highly recommend the experience.

Kate(November 2023)

We absolutely loved the trip. It was fantastic scenery and the kayaking and hiking was great fun. The hike is quite challenging, if you have bad knees (or even if you don't) take walking poles - well worth it for the view though. We were very well fed and the camp set up was really nice. I'd recommend taking your own smaller dry bag as although you get a 25L one there is space on the kayak for a small extra one and as your boots go in the big one (or a plastic bag) it was nice to have a smaller one to put a few spare clothes. Can't think of any negative points, it was fantastic and we look forward to the next one :)

Teresa(November 2023)

A phenomenal trip led by Brad despite the nonstop rain which kept us from the summit of our hike. The group was amazing and I feel lucky to have met such great people! I will never forget Brad's cheese jokes as we paddled the final kilometres to the end :D

Dan(November 2023)

Luckily we got the best host! Ollie was exceptional. An incredible host and made some amazing meals including the best soup I've ever had! Definitely made the whole trip gel together perfectly. Really enjoyed the kayaking and the views along the hike were picture perfect.

Naomi(November 2023)

Some magical landscapes, wildlife and lush people! Every day brought another adventure, so worth investing in this trip, came home knackered but with incredible memories and pictures, the fjord pun sold me on this trip, really glad I went for it, thank you to the whole team of legends guiding and making the journey so very enjoyable and supported.

Gustavo(November 2023)

The trip was overall great. Our guide, Brad, was the kindest guy ever - he really made the trip special. It rained a lot on the day of the hike which unfortunately meant we couldn't reach the summit, but even with our clothes soaking wet, it was a fun trek. The kit could be slightly better - I assume it would be fine in dry weather, but with so much rain, the clothes for paddling and the tents showed they were a bit worse for wear. Norway is breathtaking and the kayaking was amazing. Overall it was an incredible weekend. Highly recommended!

Nicola(November 2023)

We really enjoyed our trip to Norway and would definitely recommend it to anyone that enjoys the outdoors. Our guide, whilst knowledgeable, wasn’t the best leader and our group did become quite separated in both the kayaking and hiking, however he was only there cover the busier period and the other guides all seemed much better at managing that. We both thought the hike was more strenuous than “moderate” and some people on the trip struggled in places, but everyone made it to the top and enjoyed the experience - the views were more than worth it! We had been under the impression from the description that our group would be the only ones at the campsite, and so were slightly surprised to be joined by 4 other groups on the trip, however it didn’t really impact the experience. Overall we would definitely recommend Norway and this trip to anyone that is considering it - it was an incredible experience!

Faisal(November 2023)

I read many reviews of this trip beforehand and the praise of this trip has not been exaggerated. The hike was certainly challenging at times and a minimum level of fitness is definitely required but once you reach the peak and view the vista, you realise the effort is well worth it. The kayaking was fun, although at times challenging when the elements are going against you! A great workout though. Camping was fun, with a great team spirit and evenings by the fire. The food was impeccable and dietary requirements catered for. Lots of great snacks and fresh water from streams, lakes and waterfalls to indulge in. A trip of a lifetime!

Caroline(November 2023)

This is a fantastic trip, my second with MBA. I thoroughly enjoyed it - beautiful tranquil fjords, a superb guide, and really excellent group dynamics. Beware, the hike is very challenging! And if you’re going late in the season pack cosy stuff to wear in the evening and in your tent. I highly recommend this trip (noting the hike!), it felt like I’d been away for a week. The fjords are very special - good for the soul…

Sally(November 2023)

Amazing trip. Stunning fjords, loved both the kayaking & hiking!

Scott(October 2023)

Amazing trip.. benji the tour guide was amazing

Phillip(October 2023)

An amazing few days in a breathtaking landscape. Norwegian kayaking is a must for anyone's bucket list!

Barbara(October 2023)

Fantastic trip, beautiful scenery, memories for life. We were lucky enough to see a few seals in the fjords! Swimming in the fjord by camp was absolutely amazing. The hike has quite challenging parts, especially in the middle but makes it even more rewarding when you make it to the top! Food was great, didn't go hungry. And there was plenty of wine!

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 47kg 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.

You really do not need any kayaking experience. Your guide will give you full instructions and a safety briefing at the start. You’ll just need reasonable levels of fitness to handle approx 25km of relaxed paddling over two days, a day of hiking and be up for camping out overnight.

The hike is not for beginners and is very challenging, particularly if it is or has been wet. You'll gain over a thousand meters in elevation during the hike and early in the season (April, May and occasionally early June) there can be snow on the ground (sometimes quite deep) which adds to the challenge. The same can apply late in the season too. We would only recommend this hike if you are an active person with hiking experience. It just takes a bit of time getting up the steep section but don’t worry, it’s no race to the top.

The route is about 10km each way, making a total hike of 20.7km. The elevation is sea level to 1,189m and quite steep in places. The hike is about 8 to 11 hours return, with an awesome view from the ridge at the top to the fjord below.

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

The trip will be split into groups of up to 10 people. Let us know if you are travelling with friends, and we will make sure you are in the same group as friends who have booked.

The weather in summer is generally very comfortable for kayaking and camping, with temperatures of 15-20 degrees Celsius, sometimes more. April and May typically see the lowest rainfall but days are cooler (typically 10-15 degrees Celsius) and nights usually hover a few degrees above freezing. Snow cover often persists on higher ground into April and May (and occasionally early June) and is likely to be encountered along a significant portion of the hike (your host has a stock of snowshoes if needed). We recommend joining this trip in July and August for the warmest temperatures, but it’s great all summer.

In any month it can rain and get chilly at night so waterproofs, good hiking boots, a warm jumper and some thermals are vital. This time of year daylight in Norway is constant with only 2–3 hours of darkness in the evenings.

One of the most beautiful places in the world. A fjord is a deep, narrow and elongated part of the sea, that stretches inland for miles, winding around mountains, valleys, and steep cliffs. The fjords were formed by the giant glacier tongues and shaped over several ice ages.

There are a plenty of kayaks available for you to use with a mix of single and doubles available depending on your preference.

You're free to bring any luggage or suitcase you wish with you to Voss. On day 2, you'll check out of your accommodation with all of your luggage and transfer by bus to the host's kayaking base in Gudvangen. Here, you'll be given a 22-litre dry bag to pack everything into for your kayaking, camping and hiking adventure (excluding your sleeping bag and sleeping mat, unless you bring your own). You will be given a hard waterproof case for your camera/phone too, and you'll want to keep certain things handy such as your water bottle, cap, sunscreen and snacks. You'll need to pack light as your dry bag has to fit into the hatched compartments (bulkheads) of the kayak, along with the group's food and equipment which will be shared among the kayaks. The remainder of your luggage that you don't need on the adventure can be left behind at the kayaking base in Gudvangen, where it will be safely stored until your return.

Don't stress, your host will explain all during the briefing.

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

From the 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 90NOK (£9) each way. The Bybanen is approx 40NOK (£4).

From the bus station it’s a few minutes walk to the train station. A taxi from the airport to 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 ticket machines. If you want to check the timetable or book online head here.

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.

There should be no problem with staying back at camp during the hiking day for someone not wanting to hike. It may also be possible to just come along for the first part of the hike and then return to the camp, this does depend on where the group is actually camped as this may affect options. Alternatively, you could consider booking the Kayak and Wild Camp Norwegian Fjords trip instead.

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

Accommodation in Bergen

Here’s what your local guide has to say on drones:

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

  • There are limited times where there would be possibilities for flying the drone.
  • We need to keep the campsites free of drone traffic in agreement with the landowners.
  • There is often livestock animals in some areas that may get affected and we need to keep a good relationship with the 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 it is out of our legislation. 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. Just please do discuss the use with other group members sometime after meeting up with them on the first morning to settle this.

The best way to meet your host is to take the train from Oslo centre to Voss (not Bergen), and then head to Voss Hostel. See the FAQ 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.

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 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 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
