This is a multi-day kayaking trip with some longer and shorter days. Depending on the circumstances, you will be paddling for up to 6-7 hours on the longer days with headwinds, which calls for strong arms and a positive mindset. You also need to be able to swim and be strong enough to lift a fully packed kayak in and out of the water, often in rocky and slippery landing conditions. While it is not a technically difficult trip and you do not need much experience, you should be sure that you can sit in a kayak for quite a few hours over 6 consecutive days. Our experience is that this trip is not suited for those who have back problems or who have had these in the past.

Sure can! Over 50% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Drinking water will be refilled from waterfalls en-route and it doesn't get much fresher than that.

Summer in Norway is sunny and warm, though the weather can still be fickle. Daytime temperatures average 12 – 20 °C, while nights cool down to 5 – 10 °C. It also rains more than half the days each month. Though too far south to experience the Midnight Sun, summer days in Alesund are very long and there’s no true night from May through August.

Any luggage you don't need can be left in the car in Alesund. This will then be driven to Geiranger where you can collect it at the end of the trip.

This trip operates with both double and single kayaks so you can tell your host your preference upon booking. Saying that they can't guarantee the use of either as they need to ensure that the group paddles at an equal pace, using equal effort. This means that the guide will always have the last word on who is paddling which kayak.

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 in good company. Our adventures are typically made up of a mix of solo travellers and small groups of two or three friends who simply love adventure, pushing themselves and meeting awesome like-minded people. See here for more info about our lovely bunch of Much Better Adventurers.
