Just back from the three day kayaking and hiking trip (July'22). Booked via Much Better Adventures. A fantastic trip. The views are incredible and photos do not do it justice. The guide was superb - very knowledgable, chatty, and happy to deal with any query or issue. The equipment was pretty good (the only issue was the water proof jacket which was showing its age with holes in the pockets - we were warned of this before putting phones etc in them). The food was spot on and plentiful. The was a vegetarian and vegan on the trip and they appeared to be very happy with their meals. Smooth transfers with a great host. Accommodation was good, although at my age I would have preferred an air bed in the tent rather than a camping mat. I fully understand the issues with packing an airbed etc, so that is not likely to be an option. The toilet on the camp site we were based at had two "long drop" loo's. I've used these type of loos before on other wilder camp sites, and they always have either saw-dust or soil to cover what you've just left. This one didn't have that and it was not pleasant...think eye wateringly bad... But hey, it's wild camping. I think the kit list could do with a summer / winter option. Maybe add the suggestion of packing tic spray and a small blow up pillow for the camp site. Also suggest that you pack an eye mask as in summer, it doesn't get dark at night so sleeping in a tent could be a struggle. The hike is really tough if you're not particularly fit like me, but flipping heck - the view from the top of the mountain is so worth the effort, along with the feeling of achievement of completing it. I took walking poles with me and they were helpful. An absolutely amazing trip and I'm now looking at other trips that Nordic Adventures do.…

Our three day trip was incredible. For all of the journey you feel like you're in a postcard, the scenery is amazing. Everything has been planned and thought through by Nordic Ventures to give the best trip, even accounting for a glass of wine with dinner.

I've just come back from the three days Kayaking and hiking, such an amazing experience! Our guide Ian was great and ensured we were well looked after and that we got the most out of the weekend. The hike was a challenge but possible, I recommend ensuring you have waterproof boots!…

We booked the 3-day excursion through Much Better Adventures, looking for a little something off the beaten track, and this totally delivered! Just the most beautiful landscapes all the way from launching the boats, to the very tops of the mountains surrounding the fjords. Sandra, our guide, was incredible from start to finish, keeping us all on track, highlighting points along the way, and making sure we were all more than well fed throughout. If you're looking for something different to fill the "what did you do this summer?" this is the trip for you! The whole Nordic Ventures team make everything super simple - logistics, equipment and itinerary are totally on point, so all you need do is pack clothes and book some flights!…

Absolutely fantastic kayaking tour of the Norwegian fjords. Craig was an amazing and knowledgeable guide - he provided lots of information on the surroundings, communicated expectations and instructions clearly and he is a fantastic cook!
