Mad Goats welcomes you on our popular Oslo Kayak Tour “Fjord City”, with our fun and goaty guides. On this kayak tour on the beautiful Oslofjord, you will explore Oslo’s central promenade, paddling past iconic waterfront landmarks, such as the famous Oslo Opera House, Akershus Fortress, the Astrup Fearnley Museum and Munch Museum. Our tour is 2 hours total, including getting ready and packing up. You will spend between 1 and 1.5hours on the water. We have double kayaks, which are perfect for children and their caregivers or those who want the most stable kayaking experience. Just ask our guides at the start of the tour and we will find the best kayak to suit your needs.
You do not need any prior kayaking experience to join our “Fjord City” kayak tour but recommend a healthy sense of adventure! This tour is suitable for kids 5 years and above, however kids under 13 years must go in a double kayak. We recommend you have a moderate fitness level, and know how to swim, however if you cannot swim you can still join as we will govern you a life jacket and have professionally trained guides that will look after you.
The tour starts from central Oslo in the waterside district of Tjuvholmen, only a short walk from central station. We start by paddling round the sheltered canals around Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen and once you are feeling comfortable and confident in your kayak we will paddle out onto the fjord and around Oslos closest island, Hovedøya. This is all weather and group dependant. All kayaking gear is included, and we provide a secure place to leave your belongings and get changed. If you are ready for a goat-level kayaking experience, then we look forward to “catch you on the water” soon!
