Kayaking in Flam


Among the many activities that can be performed in the fjords, and specifically from Flam, as the main destination of the region for all its attractions, today we bring you a very interesting proposal, nautical activities in the Sognefjord, and more specifically the kayaking , or canoeing Aurland fjord.

Along with programs hiking, kayaking has become one of the main activities popular among visitors, and no wonder, since knowing the fjord from a small boat for one or two people, at water level, between the verticality of the stone walls that form the fjord, and the refreshing sight of dozens of waterfalls falling around us make this activity suitable for everyone, a unique experience that few visitors can resist.

With minimal notions about the sport you can rent kayaks to enjoy the fjord freely on our own, provided they do not think of ourselves paddling out, safety is the most important and probably would not rent the equipment unless accompanied go more people. But we will also have the opportunity to learn something more along with an experienced guide who will teach us to properly handle the boat, plus "secrets" of the fjord.
