Fjord kayaking, Geiranger

Sunnmøre, NorwayKayaking & canoeing

Guided sea-kayak paddles under the Geirangerfjord waterfalls.

Sheltered, glassy water in the mornings makes Geiranger one of the easier places to try sea kayaking. Guided trips of two to three hours paddle out under the waterfalls and along cliffs no road reaches, and beginners are welcome — the fjord has no swell and no tide to speak of. Children from about eight can go in a double kayak with an adult. Book a morning slot before the wind and the cruise-ship tenders arrive.

  • Paddle under waterfalls
  • Beginner-friendly water
  • Cliffs no road reaches

Drive times are estimated from road distance, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
