Oslo by the water

Both the Oslo Fjord and the forest around Oslo provides numerous opportunities for engaging in water-based activities. The Oslo Fjord consists of many islands, ready to be explored by kayak. The forest around Oslo has many idyllic lakes perfect for packrafting. Spend the day exploring the city by water and enjoy the peace and quiet just minutes away from the city center.

To prepare us for a day on the water, we will begin with an introductory kayak or packraft course to learn about the equipment and feel the most comfortable before setting our course for the fjord. Therefore, no prior knowledge of paddling is needed, and all levels are welcome, from beginners to experienced paddlers. 

Oslo on wheels 

Escape the urban hustle and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature as you embark on a cycling adventure through Oslo's enchanting Nordmarka forest. This remarkable journey on wheels combines the thrill of biking with the beauty of Norway's wilderness. Before delving into the forest's depths, we'll start with a brief introduction to cycling in Nordmarka. 

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a novice, this adventure caters to all skill levels. You'll be provided with a high-quality mountain bike, helmet, and necessary safety equipment. Our knowledgeable guides will ensure you feel comfortable and confident, offering tips on handling the bike and navigating the forest trails.

Oslo on foot 

Whether you want to experience some of the many waterfalls around in Oslo, or see the city from above, on the most scenic hikes, we'll be your guide. Lace up your hiking boots and get ready to explore the city on foot with breathtaking views and tranquil nature. Maybe you want to explore the city's idyllic coastline, climb the popular hilltops or get lost in the deep forest.

What's included in the price

Included

Oslo by the sea: We provide kayaks (solo or double kayak), splash covers, dry suits, paddle shoes, oars, and necessary safety equipment.

Oslo on wheels: a normal full- suspension bike is included. It is possible to upgrade to an electrical bike for an extra charge. 

In Norway, we say «uten mat og drikke duger helten ikke» which translates to “without food and drink, the hero cannot think”. A day full of activities requires a refill of energy, so, therefore, for all the activities, we bring traditional Norwegian snacks to make sure you stay fueled.
