About our trips
We will introduce you to the natural environment and educate you about the cultural history of the area. We will also tell you about the conservation and wilderness projects taking place. This is both an exciting and educational adventure.
On all of our courses and trips there will be one guide per 6-8 participants, to ensure that you get the best out of the experience. The guide is certified by Norges Padleforbund (Norwegian Paddle Association).
In all of our activities, we emphasize safety and enjoyment. We plan and prepare to make sure that you know how to use the equipment properly, and have the basic knowledge to ensure your own safety. Everyone’s level of experience will differ so we encourage you to go at your own pace and simply enjoy the experience.
