FJORD SERENITY

WILD NORWEGIAN FJORDS!

Ålesund’s Serene Fjords!
Norway’s Grand Fjord (Storfjord), where the surging north Atlantic Ocean meets the majestic Sunnmøre Alps. Here a giant ravine like fjord carries the surging ocean inland banked by steep sheer walls that give way to towering peaks.

Borgund Fjord, gliding out on its glistening waters, the sky opens revealing the city skyline, historical buildings, and a spectacular archipelago all chiselled on a seemingly painted backdrop of the majestic Sunnmøre Alps.

Ellings Island Fjord with trademark fairy-tale islands, wavelets, birds, a lost seal, and lush green boarders, here you can enjoy a tasty picnic lunch on a lush green island seemingly miles from urbanization.

Feeling small in our sea kayaks as we glide out onto the glistening fjord waters the over-whelming majesty of our surroundings hits us with a view like a painted canvas of deep blue water, lush green forests giving way to chiselled rocky peaks, and an endless blue sky with wisps of white. Here, the history and culture of a rugged coastal people and the waterways that connected them come alive as we paddle these majestic waterways.

Our kayaks glide effortlessly as we search out a little know sport for a delicious picnic lunch, before slipping back on the water.
