Paddle a sea kayak at water level through the Hardangerfjord's glassy inlets, under cliff faces dripping with waterfalls, past ancient farmsteads clinging to the shore. An intimate, silent communion with Norway's most spectacular fjord.
What to expect
After a brief safety and technique briefing, you launch from the Jondal waterfront and paddle into the vast, mirror-calm Hardangerfjord. Your guide points out sea eagles overhead, ancient Norse settlement sites on the shoreline, and the origins of the waterfalls cascading from the plateau above. The pace is entirely your own — this is mindful, breath-taking exploration rather than athletic endurance. Stable touring kayaks make the experience accessible to confident first-timers, while more experienced paddlers will relish the open-water freedom.
