Akerselva River Kayak/Packraft Tour: Urban Adventure in Oslo
See Oslo from a unique perspective, while kayaking down the beautiful Akerselva River. You might also find a new side to yourself – your wild side! So join us & embrace your inner “Goat” while kayaking through central Oslo, & out onto the wonderful Oslo Fjord. *If your child is under 10 years then we recommend you book our “Akerselva Packraft Tour” which they can join.
Our kayak tour starts in central Oslo at the Nedre Foss Gård Park, which is located beside the famous Mathallen (Food hall). From here we paddle through Grunerløkka, where you will experience an incredible blend of nature and city life - something Oslo is famous for! Continuing our urban kayak adventure we arrive in Grønland - Oslo’s cultural heart! From here we paddle out onto the Oslo Fjord – but first through a 500m long tunnel thats flows underneath the heart of Oslo city!
To end the trip we will paddle out into Oslofjord, past the new Munch Museum & finish beside the Oslo Opera House – an iconic Oslo landmark!
