Paddling through Trondheim is more than an outdoor activity — it is a journey of calm, discovery, and connection with both nature and history. Whether you are travelling solo, sharing a romantic moment, or enjoying an adventure with family, a peaceful kayak experience along the city’s waterways offers a truly memorable escape.
Glide past the iconic wooden warehouses, the medieval splendour of Nidaros Cathedral, and the imposing Kristiansten Fortress as Trondheim’s rich past unfolds around you. The route also leads into quiet river channels near the harbour, revealing hidden corners of the city rarely seen from land. Trondheim invites you to explore its storey — one gentle paddle at a time. Suitable for all ages and experience levels, this tour welcomes both first-time paddlers and seasoned kayakers alike.
Additional Information
Led by experienced local instructors, the tour begins with a short introduction to paddling techniques and safety. Guests may choose between stable single or double kayaks, and no previous experience is required.
The journey starts at Tempe idrettsanlegg, follows the Nidelva River through the city centre, and continues along the canal towards Skansen.
Clothing Recommendations
Wear comfortable sportswear suitable for light activity. In case of rain or wind, we recommend a water-repellent jacket and pants. Bringing a change of clothes is also advised, just in case.
