KAYAK
Kayaking is a fun activity for young and old alike. We offer good introduction and basic courses for beginners, as well as guided tours for everybody, experienced or unexperienced in kayaking. During our tour we focus on both safety and fun, making sure you’ll carry lots of memories home.
There are many hidden treasures in the fjord’s archipelago, and only by kayaking will you be able to explore them and combine exercising with experiencing a beautiful nature. If you are lucky, you can even see a flock of porpoises which use the fjord as their playground.
Weather pre-conditions
Kayaking of course comes with a certain weather pre-condition. Weather follows its own rules, and we only offer activities when it is responsible to do so. That said, there is a wide range of weather to experience in the Bjørnefjorden area. We may have left on a kayak trip in lovely sunshine, only to return in icy hale. Our weather certainly is an experience in its own!
Guided tour
Before leaving for our tour, we will go through safety routines and basic techniques. You do not require a certificate (which you will receive after having finished our course).
This activity is perfect for those wanting to taste kayaking, and for those who already have passed their kayaking certificate and want to explore new places by kayak. Kayaking is also suitable as part of a hen or stag night, or as a teambuilding activity for a company. We can also be pre-booked to meet you at your premises.
Basic course
Would you like to improve your technique and kayaking self-confidence? We arrange basic kayak courses monthly during the kayaking season. Our basic course includes a longer kayak trip as well as different techniques and a little bit of theory. After this course you will be much more proficient at sea and able to go on trips on your own. Any equipment needed is included.
Basic kayak courses take 16 hours and are divided over two days. A basic course is one notch above an introduction course and will offer you more focus on maneuvering effectively, simple safety routines as well as basic rules of navigation.
You will receive a certificate after having finalized the course. At many places kayak rental is only possible upon presentation of a certificate.
Introduction course (sea)
First timer in a kayak? Discover Bjørnafjorden from a new perspective in our introduction course, and learn how to navigate a kayak. We arrange introduction courses twice a month in the main season. You will be taught in safe and relaxed environment, by certified instructors. Any equipment needed is included.
A kayak introduction course takes from 3 to 4 hours. In this course, the kayak and the respective equipment will be explained to you. We will go through techniques and practical exercises together. After your course you will master launching your kayak, stopping, paddling forward and reverse, planned capsize and how to get out of your kayak while in the water.
You will receive a certificate after having finalized the course. At many places kayak rental is only possible upon presentation of a certificate.
Forberedelse
What would you need to think about before joining us?
Kayaking is a fun and challenging activity suitable for most. We have had participants up to 73 years of age: kayaking is a great activity for the whole family. The only thing you need to know is how to swim. Once you have signed up for our course or our guided tour, you will receive an email with information on what to bring. We provide kayak, paddle, dry suit, spray skirt and life vest.
During longer trips we may provide a little snack, but it is a good idea to bring an energy bar.
