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

Can only recommend going on this trip. Our guide Emily was extremely knowledgable, supportive and professional. Amazing at what she does and great with people. Everyone in the group was friendly and supportive and the whole time we had a great atmosphere.

Some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever experienced - peaceful beyond belief. All the equipment was good and ready, the food was great (plenty of it too) and the whole trip was positive.

The hike was awesome and chilling at camp and swimming throughout the mornings and evenings was just bliss. Kayaking great fun and the guide will accommodate all skill levels.

Be prepared for some bugs in the summer and I’d recommend extra base layers in case of rain (not cotton unless you like staying damp!) but whatever the weather you will have a good time. If you’ve got the chance - I highly recommend it.

I'd originally booked this trip in 2021 but couldn't attend due to covid restrictions and let me just say - it was worth the wait! It was an absolutely incredible, once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I knew the Norwegian fjords would be beautiful but nothing can quite prepare you for just how breathtaking they are in real life. Photos truly don’t do them justice. Being out there, surrounded by so much natural beauty, felt surreal at times.

The itinerary was the perfect balance of adventure and peaceful moments in nature. We hiked, kayaked, wild camped, and soaked up every moment of it. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather, which made everything even more special. One of the absolute highlights of the trip was the hike we did on the summer solstice followed by a dip in the fjords afterwards with the other girls on the trip. It’s a memory I’ll never forget!

Our guide was fantastic - knowledgeable, calm, and really looked after us every step of the way. It made such a difference knowing we were in great hands. The group dynamic was also brilliant and we had so many laughs and memorable moments over the 4 days.

If you’re considering this trip, don’t hesitate to book it! It’s beautifully organised, the scenery is out of this world, and the experience will stay with you long after you’ve left. I came away feeling recharged, inspired, and already dreaming about my next adventure!

The scenery in the Norwegian fjords is breath taking. Pair this with an outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable guide - THANK YOU SO MUCH RYAN - and a lovely bunch of like minded individuals . . . and you get one of the best weekends away you could ask for!! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for adventure in a safe environment. Ryan our guide was always calm and somehow managed to keep us all on track and on time, without ever raising his voice. Bearing in mind most of us had never met before, Ryan's attituded instantly put everyone at ease, and it was easy to chat to each other and later on have lots of laughs with each other too! We worked as a team under Ryan's guidance and it felt so good to be involved and help with meal prep and washing up, setting out for lunch etc. The kayaking wasn't too strenuous. The walk was long, but for those epic views I feel like working for it was the best way to appreciate it that little bit more. Don't hesitate to book this trip!!

This was an amazing adventure with such lovely people. Our guide Emily was amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. I would definitely recommend this trip to my friends and family.

Great trip really well organised by much better adventures. Emily our guide was second to none she had great knowledge and led our group perfectly not to mention her amazing cooking skills. Only consideration for MBA I’d suggest would be to resolve the toilet situation on the camping. They are completely unusable and people have took to taking a dump in the woods behind which makes collecting wood for the fire tricky…. . overall still a 5 stars trip though.

An excellent way to spend a long weekend! The scenery was stunning and the combination of kayaking and hiking was great. The trip was well run by Nordic Ventures and our guide Katie was awesome and went above and beyond.

As long as you’re prepared for wild camping, with camping mat comfort and less than flushing toilets, this is an incredible adventure. The nature is stunning, really beyond description. Waking up and poking your head out of your tent and marvelling at what’s around never got old. The kayaking was fun and felt like a great workout and the hike was excellent - nothing too tough but still challenging. We got lucky with the weather - it was great throughout. I’m so glad I did this. Special kudos to our guide Ryan who went above and beyond and was just generally really fantastic

Absolutely stunning trip. The scenery was utterly mind-blowing, the activities were adventurous, the food was beautiful and our guide emily was brilliant, she was knowledgeable, friendly, and had everything under control to ensure we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Couldn't have asked for a better guide or better experience.

I had such an amazing time celebrating my birthday on this tour. Waking up to the beautiful fjords is Unforgettable. Mike our guide made sure we all had a great time and cooked brilliant food. Thank you 😊

Wonderful experience, well organized

This was an amazing adventure. Our guide Katie was superb. The group had lots of dietary requirements which were all catered for. The pace of kayaking and hiking was just right. The hike is long but not technical and manageable for all abilities so long as you’re prepared to be on your feet for 9 hours. Would absolutely recommend this trip.

Overall a fantastic trip from start to finish. Great bunch of people and our guide Emily was outstanding. On the negative side the hike was advised as moderate it was anything but moderate!! Toilet at the camp site was unusable absolutely disgusting, needed a health warning on the door.

An absolutely amazing experience, our guide Johnny was brilliant, very knowledgeable, professional and an amazing cook too! Would highly recommend this trip.

Had the most fantastic time exploring the Norwegian Fjords. Stunning scenery, a wonderful group and a fabulous guide, Ian. Could not recommend enough!

The views were immaculate, the kayaking was fun and engaging, and the hike was exhilarating with an awe-inspiring view that is now the background of my laptop :)

Mike was an incredible tour guide who was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and able to foster a great vibe of camaraderie amongst the group. He also cooked a mean dinner!

Not often I get away with both my daughters together on a trip … our 3 days kayaking, camping and hiking just blew us all away! Despite a rather damp first day/night, along with our lovely group ( all of whom were meeting for the first time !) and our great guide Benji we had the very best of times! Wonderfully organised, great fun, a major hiking challenge with the best view imaginable as your reward! Wish we could have stayed longer!

This was my first MBA trip so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was better than I could have imagined. The description is accurate so expect tent camping and a hostel stay, but they are very nice. Our guide cooked tons of excellent food and they went out of their way to accommodate my gluten-free dietary requirement. I would love to go back and do a longer trip!

The kayaking and views are absolutely the way to see the fjords. Don’t hesitate. We lucked out with the weather. The hike was on the top end of moderate, and tbh what tipped it over to more challenging was the length of the day, more than the technically difficultly and steepness and the 11 hours on our feet. Our group had a relaxed pace, and view was amazing. There’s a 1km section about an hour before summit that’s tough up and down, slow and steady, steep and muddy, the rest is manageable for most, but it does involved walking over mud and through some streams. The camping spot is beautiful and peaceful. Even though in groups of up to 12, you do camp close to 4 or 5 other groups. The guides, were all fantastic. And you will not go hungry. Allergies etc well catered for

Fantastic experience all around!

Just do it. The nature and scenery are wild. Organisation is top notch. Our guide Katie was the best, cooked delicious meals after grueling (but fantastic) days. Can't recommend more.

Epic trip! Highly recommend this adventure!

What a fantastic trip! My second MBA getaway and a first with Nordic Adventures. Everything was so well organised. You are met at Bergen Airport and transferred via coach to the hostel in Voss. Our guide, Ryan, was absolutely lovely… so chilled, patient and fun, he really put us at ease and kept us all together and safe for the kayaking and hiking. The hike itself is moderate to challenging I’d say depending on your fitness/experience. So worth it for those glorious views. Camping in the fjords was majestic. Top tips, take bug spray, an inflatable pillow, sleeping bag liner and gloves for kayaking. Lastly, enjoy an adventure of a lifetime!!

Excellent trip, well organised, well stocked up, itinery, food, equipment etc was absolutely amazing, our guide katie from Nordic Ventures was excellent, welcoming, knowledgable and an excellent cook.

The whole trip was amazing. Our guide Ryan really catered for all our needs and was patient with us throughout. Very hardworking dude 👏 . The scenery is stunning, everything was given to you when you arrived so there was really nothing to worry about before going on this trip. Would definitely do this trip again!

Fantastic to meet a great group of people, beautiful scenery, capable guide taking on not just keeping us together, guiding us for kayaking and mountain climbing but also all the cooking and general organising!😁

I had an amazing experience over the 3 days. Day one was tough in the rain but our brilliant guide David kept the sprits up. Top tips; bring top and bottoms for under the wetsuit, an inflatable pillow, an eye mask, plenty of layers and wear the recommended gloves kayaking. Go, you won’t regret it.

Good fun with great people.

We have just done the 3 day kayaking and hiking tour of the Norwegian Fjords. The scenery was stunning and we were so lucky with the weather. The food was great and there was always plenty of it. Our guide was very good and couldn't do enough to help people. The kayaking was about 4 hours each day and the hike was about 10 hours and the view at the top was definitely worth the really steep climb up, along with the stunning views on the way. The hike was the right amount of challenge, for people with a good level of fitness.

We had a fantastic time on the 3 day trip. Nordic Ventures, the company that runs the trip, were very organised and professional. Our guide, Mike, was brilliant - he provided lots of practical guidance and created a great atmosphere on the trip. We were fortunate to have a fun group of people and great weather. The kayaking and hike were very doable and the scenery was amazing.

The experience was truly fantastic. Shout out to David from Nordic Adventures who was our guide. He kept spirits up during the wetter weather that first day and took care of us all throughout the trip. Would 100% recommend.
