We Traveled to Norway in 2020 and were keen to have a Day Kayaking on the Fjords. We contacted Norway AdvenTURes as we couldn't find tour dates to match our holiday plans. This was no problem, they set up a private tour for us, provided directions and arranged everything for our party of 6. Communication from Anne was excellent. The Kayaking experience was great, the views into the mountains sitting on the Kayak were amazing and Roger gave us lots of interesting information about the area, walks and life on the Fjords. All the required kit was provided for us and we felt safe and would recommend Norway AdvenTURes.

Gorgeous views and in general everything that was surrounding was incredible, amazing and will be remembered for a lifetime. We traveled all over Iceland, got wet while was seeing waterfalls, froze, almost did not sleep, but it was the coolest trip, which I would love to repeat. For me personally it was important to go on such a trip with experienced travelers... the guys have all the sleeping bags, tents. They help around and everywhere. It is so convenient, there’s nothing to worry about, just enjoy the views.

We got Vlad as our driver/guide and had the best time ever. Our group was late and he patiently waited for us, and then gave us one of the best experiences ever. We were a group of yarnlovers and he took us to 2 yarn factories, arranged a small tour for us there, showed us some waterfalls outside the city, stopped for toilet breaks and chatted and laughed with us. He was so knowledgeable and this was an excellent way to see the sights of Bergen. We can highly recommend him and this tour to anyone.
