Noa – Belgium

Very fun activity. It rained and there was a lot of wind, but the views were still fantastic. The guide was very friendly

Stefan – Germany

Although we got a lot of rain and wind at the beginning of the Tour, we managed to get to some hidden corners. Paddling against the wind was a tough workout. Our guide Jonas was very friendly and told us a lot about the fjords. All in all it was a great tour and maybe we will do some Kajaking again :) Rain Jackets/Trousers as well as Live Vests where provided at the base camp
