Kayaking on the River Nid

One of the most unique ways to see the sights of Trondheim is by exploring its waterways. That’s exactly what’s on offer as part of this urban kayak tour along the river Nid, which weaves its way around Trondheim’s charming Old Town. This gentle activity is great fun for families and suitable even for those who have never kayaked before.

The excursion starts with a short minibus transfer to the launch point. Once on the river, we glide downstream through scenic surroundings, passing colorful wooden wharf buildings before paddling into the city’s narrower canals. Here, you’ll get a chance to see some of the most famous landmarks, like Nidaros Cathedral, Kristiansten Fortress on a nearby hilltop, and the popular Marinen Park.  

The river Nid is also known to be a great fishing spot. You’ll have no trouble finding trout throughout the river—you might even come across salmon in the lower reaches. Every year, salmon here are caught that can weight more than 44 pounds!

Excursion is subject to a minimum number of participants.
