This was a lovely and relaxing kayak in a beautiful fjord. We were on the water for about 2 hours after taking the first hour to get everyone briefed and loaded. The guides gave good information and kept everyone together. Suitable for experienced and non experienced kayakers alike. I was solo so one of the guides was the rear on my kayak. All in all very pleasant experience.

Not in Ålesund!!

Emmanuel_F, Jul 2026
I am disappointed that this came up as the second option when I search "Ålesund" using Viator's search engine. I booked it trusting that it was, but the night before our cruise ship arrived to port, I reviewed the details of the meeting point and realized that it was two hours away. I reached out to them and explained that Viator had them as an excursion in Ålesund, but since it was before the 24 hours, I was not going to receive a refund. They did offer me an alternative excursion from 2-4:30 but I had to be back on the ship at 5, so I declined. I reached out to Viator and they were no help, of course. I had never had an issue with Viator before, but I am really disappointed for their lack of accountability when their search engine gave me that excursion. I later read another review of someone who had the same issue, so I hope that the merchant takes this and makes it explicit that it is not in Ålesund if Viator isn't going to fix the search.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry for the disappointment and frustration this caused. Unfortunately, this is an issue we have reported to Viator several times. As the activity provider, we cannot control how their search engine categorizes or ranks our tours, and we completely understand how confusing it is when our tour appears in the wrong destination search despite taking place two hours away. We genuinely regret that this affected your plans. I also checked your booking afterwards, and unfortunately we didn't have any suitable tours in Ålesund available that day which we could rebook you onto. If you have the opportunity, we would really appreciate it if you could also report this issue to Viator Support. Hearing directly from guests gives them more incentive to correct the search results and helps prevent the same experience for future travelers. We sincerely apologize again and hope to see you again in Norway and hopfully on one of our tours.

Amazing experience

Emma and Carmen were knowledgeable guides and made the experience for us a fantastic experience! Would do this again and had perfect conditions.

Chris_L, Jun 2026
Amazing tour, guides were excellent and knew a lot of the history of the fjord. Gotta kayak to see to scale of how high the fjords really are.

Loved it!!

Jane_C, Sep 2025
Amazing kayaking! Beautiful fjords and beautiful views and we got super lucky with weather! Thank you Emmy you were super friendly and knowledgeable

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an amazing kayaking experience in Geiranger. The fjord truly is spectacular — and when the weather cooperates, it makes the views even more unforgettable. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Emmy. She’ll be very happy to hear that you appreciated both her knowledge and friendliness. Thank you for joining us on the water — we hope to welcome you back to the fjords again someday!

Feeling very tiny

Susan_M, Sep 2025
What a great way to feel the full effects of the Fjord and see the waterfalls. It really gave us a perspective on how huge the mountains are and how tiny we really are. The staff were wonderful and helpful. I had so much fear agreeing to do this event but I was very pleasantly surprised. No one got wet and I didn’t tip over.

Great company, great...

Brad_G, Sep 2025
Great company, great host, and excellent communication. The Fjord kayak experience is incredible! And David our guide is the best!

Katie_W, Aug 2025
Such a wonderful way to experience Geiranger. Our guide David, along with Ida, provided expert instruction to get us started and keep us upright and having fun. We packed a lot of paddling into 2+ hours. No better way to see the waterfalls of the fjord. Highly recommend!

Loved this kayak tour!

Vialtor’s watch engine does not work!

Monica_B, Aug 2025
The tour is wrongly advertised on the Vialtor app. When you, through their search engine, type “Alesund” (the port where my cruise was docking), this tour appears as the their third option, was leaving from a town almost two hours away from Alesund! Vialtor apologized and confirmed a refund and then they sent an email saying that they would correct their search engine but would not issue a refund. I’m still waiting to hear back from the manager.

Beautiful kayak tour of Geiranger

Nicole_S, Jul 2025
It is a great tour but does require that you are healthy and fit. You need to have some upper body fitness.

Fun!

Travis_P, Jul 2025
This is a must do! Such amazing views, guides were great and patient, and it’s fun! I highly recommend

My husband and I did this...

Bethany_B, Jul 2025
My husband and I did this tour yesterday with Emmy and it was such a fun and magical experience! We kayaked to the seven sisters waterfall and Emmy was so knowledgeable about the history and features of the area. We had beautiful weather and it was just a perfect time! I would highly recommend this tour!

We were late so could not...

Jennifer_P, Jul 2025
We were late so could not do it. Sorry I missed it. Wondering if I could move it to Bergen for tomorrow. I know there is no kayaking but to another tour

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Jennifer, I'm sorry to hear that you were too late for the tour, unfortunately we cannot wait too long, then the other guests on the tour will be affected and get a shorter tour. We do not offer any tours in Bergen, so we cannot move you to tours there. I'm sorry about this.

Thank you for make the...

Thomas_H, Jun 2025
Thank you for make the transportation to the dock easy. Emmy and David were great hosts and made the trip easy for beginners.

Experienced guide, David,...

Dahri_M, Jun 2025
Experienced guide, David, gave us great tips for easy rowing! Beautiful and fun! We booked this outside our Viking Cruise- no problem getting to/from the ship.

Canceled After Already Having Tickets

Kayla_J, Jun 2025
Our experience didn’t even happen. Two days before our tour, I was sent tickets around 10:00. By 13:00, we were randomly sent a message saying our tour had been canceled. There was absolutely no explanation or communication from the tour company, and still has not been. The best part was seeing them run other kayak tours the same day/time ours was to happen! So I guess if you’re committed to kayaking in Norway, and it’s a top experience for you, NEVER book this tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Kayla, Our apologies that your tour was cancelled on short notice. I see that your tour was cancelled due to the minimum of participants not being met. This information, and an alternative departure the next day was suggested for our side, when we register this in the viator-system. If this information did not make its way to you this is very good feedback for us to have! On this day we did not have any other tours in Gerianger, so I believe you might have seen other companies running their tour on this day. We rarely cancel tours in Geiranger, and we apologize for the inconvenience of this cancellation affecting you! We really appreciate that you leave feedback so we know how the information we put in the system is not presented to the customer.

What an amazing...

Teresa_T, Jun 2025
What an amazing experience!! To see the Norwegian Fjords so up close was so beautiful. Waters were mostly calm winds gusty at times but the sun was shining and the temperature was perfect. Our guides David and Emmy were great. Our group ranged from ages 26-62 and everyone had a great time.

Amazing kayaking

Jasmit_B, Jun 2025
Great guides and we had a spectacular kayaking experience. We would highly recommend. Once in a lifetime to kayak at a fjord.

Great views great guides!

Marc_K, Jun 2025
Great fun tour guides. Amazing views! Even forgot my binoculars on the kayak and recieved a call that they were delivered to my ship! Great customer service!

Up close and personal with the fjords

Paula_E, Jun 2025
This was phenomenal! You were down in the fjords up close and personal. Highly recommend!! It does help to be able to lift yourself down in the kayak. Getting dressed and into the kayak was the hardest part. We had perfect weather.. no rain and 50s. We wore a wetsuit which I didn't know do would have worn thinner pants. It would have been nice to know beforehand if we were our we not wearing wetsuits. The price was so much cheaper than the shops tour. The guides "Dave" and Pedro were great. Highly recommend this trip!!

The guides were amazing....

Chris_M, Jun 2025
