Mad Goats Oslo Kayaking

Explore Oslo’s spectacular modern waterfront from the seat of a kayak. Whether you are an adventurous traveller or an Oslo resident, we welcome you to join us on this short guided kayak tour, starting from central Oslo. This kayak tour is a great way to see Oslo from a unique perspective and combines urban exploration with nature, meaning you get to experience Oslo at its best. On this kayak tour you will learn basic kayaking skills, all the while breathing fresh air, and using your body. This kayak tour is suitable for total beginners and ages 5-years plus. Note, kids under the age of 13 years must go in a double kayak with their caregiver.


Tour Info: We have a changing room and secure place you can leave your belongings while on the kayak tour. This is a public tour, available to be booked by everyone whether your are a family, team building group, or solo-traveller - if you want a private tour exclusively for your group, please refer to our private group page. This Kayak Tour is 2-hours in total from start to finish. We provide all necessary kayaking equipment: life jacket, sprayskirt, paddle and kayak. Bring a water bottle, sun glasses and wear sunscreen. Make sure to wear appropriate clothes to suit the days weather. Bring a spare change of clothes and a towel. Wear rain pants / waterproof pants if you want to avoid any drips/splashes of water on your pants while on the kayak tour. Depending on the weather and the competence of the group, we will decide on the appropriate tour route. We have double kayaks. We reserve these for kids under 13m and those who are uncomfortable going in a singe kayak. Most people are absolutely fine going in a single kayak, even if it is your first time kayaking. We provide waterproof bags you can put your phone in while on the kayak trip. The tour will go ahead even of there is rain and wind. We only cancel the kayak tour in the event of adverse weather which would put paddlers safety at risk. The tour starts in a very sheltered area and we have alternative routes to suit the days weather conditions.

If you have just completed your våttkort kayaking course with us, then we recommend this kayak tour as a way to practice your new kayaking skills in a safe and controlled manner with a professional guide by your side. It is also a great way to meet new kayak friends that also live in Oslo and share a passion for outdoor adventures, that you can then go kayaking with afterwards on Oslofjord and all around Norway!

Kayak, paddle, and life vest is included. Please wear comfortable clothes suitable for the days weather conditions (you can search “Weather Oslo” to find out the days conditions), and bring water, sun glasses and sunscreen. Bring your swimwear and towel if you would like to go for a swim in the fjord after the kayak tour.


We hope to “catch you on the water” soon! :)
