How it works
After being kitted out and listening to the safety briefing, you'll set off with your guide into the sheltered waters of Reinefjord. You’ll paddle round small islets, spot lines of bright-red rorbu (stilted fisherman’s cabins), and take in the unmistakable scent of skrei as it dries on racks along the shore.
As you navigate the calm, crystal-clear waters, your experienced and knowledgeable guide will regale you with local stories about the area’s history, culture, and nature. Keep an eye out for schools of fish in the fjord below and seabirds in the sky above. If the tide is favourable, you might even get the chance to try some edible seaweed, known as the “truffle of the sea”.

Level 1 = Easy: suitable for most
Excursions at this level are physically undemanding and suitable for most people. Level 2 = Moderate: some mobility needed
Excursions in this category involve a small amount of physical activity, but on easy terrain with few major challenges. Level 3 = Active: good mobility needed
Excursions in this category are more active and involve outdoor pursuits that require a decent level of fitness. You may be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. They are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed
These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment. You would be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. Excursions in this category are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
