    This is the perfect kayaking activity in Reine! Plenty of time in the water to see the gorgeous scenery, at a leisurely pace - terrific for pausing to take photos. Teresa, our guide, was absolutely lovely in every way - she gave us a primer on kayaking (tips, how to info) and all along the journey she showed us various marine life and explained the natural history of the Lofoten Islands.

    Bring hat for sunny days, lip balm amd sunscreen, snack and water. There's locker for your valuables. Very helpful and thorough instructions from Michela before we launched.

    The guides were very knowledgeable about the area and led us along very calm waters. Recommend bringing a thinner jacket to wear over your wool underwear if you are worried about the cold, but not required because the kayaking will warm you up sufficiently!

    I couldn't get in touch with thekayaking team

    Junhao_W, Oct 2023
    Very unpleasantly we didn't start our kayaking trip. We originally planned to book kayaking for 4 adults on September 19th, but because I stayed too long after selecting the date, the system refreshed and did not retain the date I originally selected. Instead, I selected that day (September). 17th) but I didn't notice and completed the payment. I discovered the error a few hours after I made the payment and tried to contact the kayaking team company. First, I left a message on the booking page. The message could only get an automatic reply from the system, and no staff has responded yet. At the same time, I also sent an email to the email address provided by the company in the booking information, but received a system prompt that the email address did not exist and therefore the email could not be sent normally. Also I did phone calls four times during the working hours, but no one answered the calls. The wrong date is due to my mistake and I am willing to bear the consequences. But I don’t understand why the team members cannot be contacted through the phone number, email address, and system chat page provided by the themselves. This makes me question the professionalism of your team. Hope to get your reply this time.

    A good way to see life in the fjord.

    Kayaking in the fjord was amazing! Our guide was friendly. He well explained how to use the kayak and safety as well. We've tasted seaweed and saw local birds as well. Thanks again!

    Great tour on a sunny day

    Solbjrg_F, Jul 2023
    Nice, sunny day, nice group where all had some experience. Jeanette (the guide) was inspiring, confident, trustworthy and took care of everyone. She told interesting stories and even extended the tour a bit. We had a great time.

    Fun and Gorgeous

    Brigit_H, Jul 2023
    Lovely experience and the guide was very sweet, professional, and helpful. She masterfully helped a father-daughter duo who were struggling to kayak get their groove, in a way that got them excited to keep going, and it did not detract from the other kayakers experience. She made our trip memorable by adapting to the environment and showing us a beautiful time. Be prepared for the experience to be longer than slated (not complaining!) but if you have another event planned after, give yourself an hour buffer. The environment guides how long the tour will go. It’s worth it though!

    So fun

    Colleen_R, Jun 2023
    This kayak trip was so beautiful! They had a big waterproof jacket, kayak skirt, and waterproof fishing gloves for everyone so we didn’t get wet. Veronika was my guide. She was so funny and a very knowledgeable guide. She found some seaweed for us to try. She took so many pictures of all of us during the trip and shared them with us at the end. They offered us tea and coffee when we were finished to warm up a bit. I highly recommend this kayak trip!!

    Clear and good instruction. Expert and enthusiastic guidance. Super nice surroundings. Only downside is that the actual kayak trip was quite short. Possibly also because we were quite a large group.
