See Oslo from a completely unique perspective while packrafting or kayaking on the beautiful Akerselva River. We paddle through Grunerløkka, past city centre Grønland, and then down to the Oslo Fjord – but first through a 500m long tunnel! On this tour you will see Oslo life as its best, while viewing historic and new architecture, urban nature and even get to paddle out onto the wonderful fjord, seeing Bjørvika, Oslos newest and most modern district from the water.
Children under 10 years old go for free. They must go in a packraft together with their parent or caregiver.
We have both packrafts and kayaks:
Choose between a packraft or kayak - packrafts are more stable and your child can go together with you if they are under 10. If you are wanting the most stable watercraft, then we recommend you choose a packraft - no need to book one in advance, just ask our guides at the start of the trip and we will help you. Our kayaks are more sporty, but stull suitable for absolute beginners. Kayaks are slightly less stable but faster. If you are unsure what to use, then just ask our friendly guides and they will assist you.
Transport:
We transport everything for you from the start point to the end point meaning that you do not have to bring luggage with you in the kayak / packraft. Our driver will take good care of your belongings and make sure they are returned to you in Bjørvika where the trip ends.
