Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just got back from an amazing 4 day kayaking, hiking and wild camping trip with Nordic Paddling. Went with 5 female friends. It was absolutely brilliant. Dramatic scenery, superbly organised from start to finish, fun, exciting but safe. Our guide Lukas was brilliant and made our trip very special. Such a great way to explore the dramatic Nordic fjords and do something different. Actually being on the water in our kayaks was really incredible. If you want the feeling of having done an adventure, I would thoroughly recommend this trip and Nordic Paddling.

Excellent kayaking multi-day excursion! Seeing the landscape of a fjord by kayak was surreal and should not be missed. Nordic Paddling was extremely professional from start to finish. They provided thorough packing and trip information to make sure all participants were prepared. The trip had a great itinerary - kayaking, hiking, and then more kayaking. Highlights were hiking to Pulpit Rock and then later kayaking under Pulpit Rock. Our guide, Frederik, was local to the area and extremely knowledgeable of the terrain- his passion for wilderness leadership was clear to all of us. We learned so much from him about the environment and Norwegian history and culture. He made certain everyone was comfortable and prepared to tackle the paddles and hikes. Go paddle with Nordic Paddling!

A really wonderful trip. Highlights were kayaking on the fjord and the wild camp in a beautiful isolated locate right on the shore. Our guide Frederik was excellent - extremely well organised, but laid back at the same time. He was also really informative - whether telling us about local history, nature - or how to best light a campfire. He also made us the most delicious food, and plied us regularly with chocolate! The group size was great - we were 7 plus Frederik - which meant everyone mixed together, and didn't break into smaller groups.

Kayaking through the Lysefjord was truely great. You get to know a few fun facts and chances to spot seals.

The guide was an enthusiastic, empathetic and kind young lady who knew what she was doing. Open to questions.

Felt very welcome and would recommend this experience for certain!

Kayaking and hiking

We were part of the gutsy girls trip, Rasmus and Morton looked after us. The experience was completely safe and very educational and incredible week. We stayed in lodge which I preferred to wild camping.

Morton took us on a couple of local hikes as well which were beautiful - all in all would really recommend ☺️

We desperately wanted to go kayaking in the Nordic fjords and we'd seen great reviews for these guys. We'd also seen them mentioned in the UK Daily Mail in an article about Stavanger. We did the 3 hour tour after the weather meant we could not do the 4 hour tour, but this actually worked out really well for us. The guide (Sandra) was awesome and we had a great relaxing time kayaking, and she took some great pictures of us in action! Highly recommended and the kayaks used seem super stable....they were so good we're going to get one for our use at home as we are fortunate enough to live near a sea inlet. Thanks again to Rasmus and his team.

Thank you very much for these kind words! I'm happy to hear that we've inspired you to get a kayak of your own, it's truly and amazing way of exploring the sea! We hope to see you back in the fjords another time :)

Fantastic trip filled with great activities, food and skills building.
As a beginner the kayaking skills were taught really well and i built both skills and confidence throughout the week. The hikes were great, and made for great views of the fjord from local trails.
Our guide Mads made the week what it was with his patience and teaching skills, knowledge of the outdoors and laughter (and chocolate supply!).
Would highly recommend booking with Nordic Paddling for an unforgettable trip!

Thank you for your awesome review! I'm happy to hear that the skills you were taught came at a good level to help gradually build confidence in the kayak. Mads is a really great guide, we're feeling blessed to have him teaching on our kayak courses and 7-day trips. We hope to see you back in the fjords in the future!

My experience with Nordic Paddling was through a trip arranged by Gutsy Girls. I had no kayaking experience and, our guide, Mads, was very patient and very understanding and a huge amount of fun.

I thought the kayaking and hikes we went on were pitched just right and lots of variation which suited the very changeable weather! We stayed in a really beautiful little cabin right next to the water and were really taken care of.

Sebastian was also part of our trip and he was really great and open to feedback
