SEA KAYAK – NÆRØYFJORD – GUIDED TOUR
Explore the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Park – Nærøyfjord in Norway. We take you to places only accessible by kayak.
Our guide will ensure that you have an unforgettable time!
This tour is designed to show you most of the UNESCO World Heritage Park as possible. We explore historic areas of the Nærøyfjord, which for centuries, have been playing an important role linking western and central Norway together.
THE NÆRØYFJORD
As one of the world’s most beautiful and dramatic fjords, Nærøyfjord made its spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Fjord kayaking in a unique setting like this, with snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and idyllic farms clinging to the mountainsides, will give you an adventure to remember.
The name Nærøyfjord originates from the old norse(old norwegian) god ‘Njord’, the God of sailors and the sea.
GEOGRAPHY
Nærøyfjord is one of the arms of the Sognefjord or Sognefjorden, which is the largest and best known fjord in Norway. By the way, also the second longest in the world.
Nærøyfjord itself is a 17km long branch of the Aurlandsfjord. It is only 250 meters wide at its narrowest and more than one kilometer at the widest. The depth varies between 10 and 500 meters. The surrounding mountains are more than 1400 meters high.
