Experience the beauty of Reine—often regarded as one of Norway’s prettiest fishing villages—on this beginner-friendly kayaking tour.

Highlights

Try a new adventure sport as you learn to kayak in a Norwegian fjord

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Lofoten archipelago

Learn about the area’s nature, history, and culture from an expert local guide

How it works

After a safety briefing and equipment fitting, you’ll set out with your guide into the sheltered waters of Reinefjord. Paddle around small islands, pass rows of bright-red rorbuer (traditional fishermen’s cabins), and experience the unmistakable scent of skrei cod drying along the shore.

As you glide through the crystal-clear waters, your guide will share stories about the area’s history, culture, and nature. Watch for schools of fish below and seabirds above. If conditions are favorable, you may even get the chance to sample edible seaweed, often referred to 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.
