It’s shocking and it gets worse every year!

Most ‘sea kayak guides’ working in Norway call themselves certified sea kayak guides. However, most are not and in many cases, they only say that they are certified and provide no proof of certification.

It is very easy to find out if your sea kayak guide is certified – all certified guides working in Norway are listed on the NHKGIF website.

If your guide is not on one of the lists of licensed guides or instructors on the NHKGIF’s website, then they are not certified, period.
