Hike, Kayak and Wild Camp the Norwegian Fjords in a Weekend

Epic scenery. Great and funny people. So much packed into 1 weekend. The hike on day 3 to the top with views over the fjords was amazing. Trip well organised and the food cooked on the camp fire by our guide Jonny was delicious. Highly recommend.

This is a short but worthwhile trip. Kayak-hike-kayak worked out to be a perfect combination to enjoy the fjords from the water, to give your arms a break on the hike and then give your legs a break when kayaking! Being fit for this trip is recommended. The campsites are wonderful, on the "beaches" of the fjords with stunning views. The food was great and catered well for dietary requirements.

This trip was so well planed and organised my life is not in 50% of this

Just returned from Norway which included the 3 day kayaking with 14 mile day hike from Drydal with 1,000m ascent to the summit of Breiskrednosi

The entire trip was epic and our guide Callum the best we’ve encountered. As a guide Callum is incredibly professional, considerate to all, empathetic and super organised.

The hike was the most physical activity of the trip, taking us through rich woodlands and open valleys whilst crossing rapids and tranquil streams, then straight up onto steep snow covered terrain requiring snow shoes to complete the final section to the top.

This is a stunning destination for all nature lovers and adventurers at heart. Though challenging the hike is so rewarding, offering breath-taking views of surrounding cliffs, waterfalls, valleys, snow capped mountains and insanely impressive fjords at dizzying heights from the very edge of the summit.

All food and provisions, equipment, shore line stops, camping site location and facilities over the 3 days were excellent.

The only downside was when it all ended.

Thank you so much for such a memorable life experience

Great combination of kayaking and trekking. Beware however the trek is not ‘moderate’ as described in the literature. 7 hours up and 4 down. It’s nearly as tall as Ben Nevis. But the most enjoyable and beautiful experience. Great company to travel with. I am plant based and was very well accommodated.

I did the 3 day kayak/hike tour and it was so amazing. The meals were tasty, the difficulty was just right each day to allow some relax time, and our guide Callum took really thoughtful care of the whole group. Got lucky in that the tour attracted awesome people so you'll find exactly the type of friends you are looking for!

Pushed myself to the limits and thoroughly enjoyed it. Emma was an excellent guide who obviously knew her work and has a passion for it. In general, it’s a very well organised tour that anybody would be happy with. Only big bare is that it is considered “moderate”. It’s really “moderate” for an established outdoorsy person not just anybody. Will be going again on another jaunt for sure. Thanks Jan and Emma😀👍

This was my first experience with MBA and it will certainly not be my last! This entire weekend was the perfect blend of activities. Norway was so beautiful and the camping/food/activities exceeded my expectations by far. The company MBA coordinates this with, Nordic Adventures, was awesome. You get the feel of the land with expert guides. Every day was the perfect amount of activity. From our airport pick-up, camping in the most serene place, to hiking through all different terrain- this weekend was absolutely flawless.

This trip was genuinely incredible from start to finish. If you are in any doubt about booking this trip, trust a stranger and just do. Out of a group of 13 you could not find a single regret.

Everything about the experience was incredible, from eating breakfast on the first morning, with your soon to be new friends, admiring the stunning views from the hostel. Moving on to kayaking down the Fjords, surrounded by the most incredible scenery. Norway had never been on my radar as a place to visit, but it is easily the most stunning place I have ever been. Taking on the challenge of the hike really brings the group together. It's tough but achievable and when you're back at sea level soaking your muscles in the cold sea water, you'll be so proud of yourself. Kayaking vakc to base on day 3 is bittersweet, knowing that your adventure is coming to an end.

I genuinely cannot reccomend this trip enough. If you're reading all the reviews, you should stop now and just book the trip. I promise you will not regret it.

This was my first solo trip and it did not disappoint! Had an absolute blast kayaking through the most spectacular scenery my eyes ever did see. Our host Jonny was absolutely fantastic. Felt safe and supported at all times and he prepared the tasty meals for camp. Highly recommend

An incredible trip I cannot recommend enough! We did the three day and two night wild camping, kayaking and hiking tour and it was amazing.

Our tour guide Ian was the best! Great energy, incredible knowledge and fantastic cooking skills (even making us pancakes on the second morning!) He made a huge effort to cater for everyone and make sure everyone was having a brilliant time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you Ian!

Our campsite had the most spectacular views of the fjord, the hike was hard but well worth the effort for the breathtaking summit, and the kayaking was epic, stopping to take in the views and eat lunch. All in all, an unbeatable three days.

Without a doubt the best way to experience the fjords to the fullest.

What a brilliant time we all had on this trip. Our guide Jan was awesome, his knowledge and love for the area really elevated the experience, and we had a great group to share it all with. The fjords are an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place, a real gem of the world. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone.

Brilliant

Amazing from start to finish. Challenging but worth the pain. Sights you won’t see anywhere else! Great bunch of people. Surprisingly good food!

Definitely recommend the weekend kayaking in Norway. What a beautiful place. Great wild camping spot. Very well organised and plenty of food. Guide, Callum, was five stars.

Wow. . . . . just wow. I can summerise my trip away to Norway by these words. The whole experience was truly fantastic. Full of fun, energetic people, the most gorgeous scenery and amazing guides.

The 3 day kayaking, hiking and wildcamping weekend was amazing! Our tour guide Jan was brilliant, super friendly and knowledgeable, he really made us all feel welcome and has 5 star cooking skills!

Would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

Fantastic, action packed trip kayaking and hiking in Norway. Went solo and met other great people. Our guide, Ian, was fantastic- very lively, fun, organised and always looking out for us. The views were absolutely gorgeous and everything was exceptionally well coordinated. Highly recommend

Couldn’t fault the planning and delivery of our trip. Emma our guide was fun, knowledgeable and didn’t stop looking after everyone making sure they were all okay. Equipment was just as needed. The kayaking was relaxing and views amazing. The climb was both hard in places and enjoyable - the best 3 day adventure and exceeded expectations.

Great trip really enjoyed it with a bunch of like minded people and johnny was a brilliant guide. Would definitely recommend it.

Had the best weekend exploring the Norwegian Fjords & would thoroughly recommend the trip! It was definitely more challenging than expected but we went a pace which suited the whole group and made it super enjoyable.

Also a HUGE shout out to our tour guide Emma. Made us all feel so welcome, looked after us completely and was an absolute superstar! I have a food allergy which can make travelling a bit of a nightmare. However Emma managed it so well and I was never hungry or going without which I cannot thank you enough for!

Thank you so much!

My highlight of 2024! Amazing trip, do not hesitate to book, we had a fantastic group of people, amazingly organized company/trip & friendly supportive guides! First night in voss, hostel was lovely with beautiful lake views & not to miss wild swims with a sauna to jump into! Company provided good dry bags & wetsuits etc. but the "Waterproof camera case" isn't waterproof, just resistant/ a drop proof hard box, I didn't use this as I was constantly getting phone out of the box to take pictures (u will want to take pictures around every beautiful corner of the fjords!), so I risked keeping my phone in my pocket, I would recommend bringing ur own waterproof lanyard case! Kayaking was absolutely amazing, food was fantastic & campsite was better than expected with breathtaking views, shelter from rain & running water (u are split into lots of groups & it's pot luck where u will stay along fjords, other groups didn't have this). Our guide was excellent, very friendly, kept everyone going, cleaning, cooking, helping everyone with their kayaks & watching the weather to get us up earlier to work around best of weather. Went in August & was excellent, didn't need to wear wetsuits & could kayaks in shorts & T-shirt, might not be as enjoyable if cold & wet. The hike day was more difficult than expected, would recommend making sure fit & shoes worn in, I definitely should have done a little more fitness training beforehand. It is uphill for a long time & slippy on the way down, at times wished I had brought my poles along! Opening your tent in the morning to sunrise over the top of the fjords, still calm water, not a soul in sight, complete silence & a rainbow appearing, is just magical & unforgettable!!

Couldn't have been happier with this trip, it was a fantastic way to experience the fjords, the group of people I met were awesome and our guide Katie was also brilliant. Couldn't recommend it more.

We had the most amazing few days in the fjords, it was everything I hoped it would be! Within our group we had a mix of couples and solo travellers and all got the opportunity to get to know each other. The activities are really well planned with two days of kayaking through the fjords with an incredibly beautiful hike in between. Our guide Benji was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, he worked really hard to ensure the trip ran smoothly and that everyone felt comfortable. His cooking efforts were also very appreciated with great meals provided. In early September we had a good mix of weather, the start of the trip was sunny and warm with a view of us swimming in the fjord, later on in the trip the scenery changed and we had some beautiful atmospheric low lying clouds that completely changed the landscape. Thanks so much for a brilliant trip.

I booked this trip because a friend was already going and I’d always wanted to visit the Fjords. Well, what a way to experience the breath-taking Norwegian scenery!! Utterly stunning from start to finish. So well organised and great fun, would highly recommend and will definitely book another adventure.

Highly recommend this trip. It was my first time going on a trip like this, it took me out of my comfort zone at times but a great experience. It was made better with the great group we had and guides. Already planning where to go next with MBA! (My biggest relief was the sleeping bags were cleaner than I thought they would be 🤣)

Stunning, soul-uplifting, wonderful adventure. Completely packed and physical days in gorgeous scenery means 3 nights feels like you’ve been in a different world for a week. Your muscles will feel it too ….! Our guides Callum and Benji were incredible at taking care of us, cooking amazing food, keeping us entertained and laughing even when the weather was really quite grim at times and extremely well organised. Take care of the kit list but remember you’ll have to decant into a dry bag and a large plastic bag the things you need for 3 days / 2 nights so pack wisely. If you’re going end of season use the two sleeping bags on offer, take your own blow up roll mat and pillow - it’ll be worth it, and prepare for a physically demanding but more than do-able trip with incredible moments to remember. DO IT ☺️❤️.

The whole trip was wonderful with supportive fellow travellers, photogenic scenery and activities that were challenging but achievable

Just spent 3 days in Norway, kayaking the most stunning fjords, hiking a mountain and wild camping …. all in a weekend!! The trip from start to finish was excellent. Our guides Callum and Benji were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fab cooks! The food was excellent and plentiful. This trip was great …. do it!!

Wow wow wow..Katie our guide was the BEST!!! Knowledgeable and fun If anyone isn't sure about booking this trip do it!! Our group was amazing..diff backgrounds and ages but a true team (never met b4) Everything was well organised and safe..Katie's cooking was top notch..she is a true asset. Thank you for a great time and the chance to make new friends.
