Fjord Norway Kayaking and Canoeing
Fjord Norway Kayaking
Fjord Norway kayaking is a great way to appreciate the natural wonder that is the Norwegian from a different perspective – from low, looking up to take in the majesty of the fjords. In a recent post we talked about planning a trip on the Sognefjord. The Sognefjord is the King of the Norwegian Fjords, and one of the longest in the world. The Sognefjord is easily accesible from Bergen – Norway’s second city – and is home to three of the top ten Fjord Norway Kayaking experiences.
Sognefjorden is a fun, safe and unique location for a Fjord Norway kayaking adventure in which you can paddle and hike, visiting Viking age and UNESCO historical sites as well as stop off at the beach. For pure kayaking, the Gulen Vest (West Gulen) area is a great choice for experiencing Fjord Norway kayaking. The area has distinctive, narrow straits – often too narrow for boats. Many straits can only be paddled at high tide and can be a challenge at times. Getting there is no challenge though. If you do not have access to car, not to worry! There are two daily express boats from Bergen. By car, you need to drive via Leirvåg, taking a ferry to Skipavik.
The post picture is a landscape capture at Instefjord, on the Fjordselva river in Sogn and Fjordane. Instefjord is not far from Gulen (mentioned above) and easily reached by road transport from Bergen.
