Description

Join me on an awesome three hours of kayaking in the Jotunheimen Mountains in southern Norway. This is an awesome way to learn how to kayak or improve your kayaking skills in a fun, relaxed environment. You also get to enjoy the sights and sounds of these stunning Norweigan mountains.

We’ll start out by going over the basics of kayaking and running you through safety training. We take this really seriously and want to make it the best experience for you.

Then, we’ll take to the water! This will either be on the stunning, turquoise Gjende Lake or the magical Øvre Sjodalsvatnet Lake. Both of these have flat-water so this trip is really great for beginners too.

The great thing about this trip is that we keep the groups nice and small, normally with just five people. This gives me the opportunity to spend time helping everyone out with their technique. I’ll also be able to point different things out to you in the landscape and teach you more about my native Norway.

This is guaranteed to be a cool experience in the beautiful Norweigan Mountains. Get in touch today to save your spot!

If you want to discover Jotunheimen by land too, you should definitely check out my 1-day hiking trip in the area.

Hiking Guide

With Gjende and Jotunheimen right here in my backyard, it's hard not to spend every waking hour outdoors.

Ever since I was a child, I have been drawn to the natural world. Years later, I still find myself standing in awe of the mountains of my native Norway. Regardless of the season, I work and play outside in the beautiful landscapes that surround me.

While I enjoy many outdoor sports and activities, I must say the mountain biking terrain here in Vågå is hard to beat.

I look forward to exploring my backyard with you on your next adventure!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
