Hike, Kayak and Wild Camp the Norwegian Fjords in a Weekend

I booked this trip as a surprise 40th birthday present for my partner… and it didn’t disappoint! We both love adventure, exploring new places & an activity or two.

The trip was well planned, with MBA using a local kayaking company to facilitate the trip. We were fortunate to be in a really great group, which really made the trip. The scenery was incredible and so relaxing to be on the water. The hike was reasonably strenuous at points but so worth it - the view down to the fjords was beautiful.

Overall we felt the trip was well managed considering the variety of experience in the group, we didn’t feel rushed, we were very well fed & considering Norway is generally pretty expensive I thought the trip was great value for money.

We’d highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it, you’ll love it!

What an amazing 3 days exploring the Noergyfjord by Kayak and foot!! Loved kayaking to and setting up camp in the most beautiful setting! Callum our guide was amazing from the moment we met him, super friendly and easy going but also so knowledgeable - he had the answer to any question we asked about our surroundings! Hike day is a big day but so amazing, there are a few steep sections which aren't the easiest but it doesn't feel rushed to get to the top, we stopped for plenty of water and snack breaks. The summit is worth every step of the climb, it's stunning and we got to enjoy it for a bit while we had lunch and took 100s of photos before heading back down to camp.

My trip exceeded any expectation. The weather was beautiful which always helps. The country, the itinery and its pace, the equipment and most of all the guide Callum all came together to make it a perfect mini adventure

It was a lovely trip, Nordic Adventures did an amazing job of keeping us well fed and guiding us through the fjords. Loved every moment!

No words or photos can capture how incredible this trip was. Mike was outstanding from start to finish, somehow making a camping trip feel like a 5⭐️ experience (still not sure how he pulls it off!). I came in with high expectations after reading the reviews, but this adventure exceeded them in every way imaginable.

Absolutely amazing trip. Mike the guide was brilliant, the Kayacking was really fun, the scenery stunning and the hike was enough of a challenge to feel super satisfied. 100% would reccomend!

Seeing the fjords up close, with a group of likeminded people was just such a privilege. Everything had been planned really well - from the hostel in Voss through to the wild camping and kayak facilities and equipment. Mike was our guide who was just fantastic - he was thoughtful about the whole group, making sure that everyone had a fantastic experience. The food (and wine) was fantastic and camping equipment good (but bring an inflatable pillow if you want one!). The kayaking was fun and a bit challenging when the headwinds came, but that’s what this is all about - adventure and challenges! The hike was fantastic, with some stunning views. All in all an amazing trip, well organised and executed - thank you MBA, you smashed it (again!)

This was my first solo trip and all I can say is, if you’re unsure or procrastinating booking - just book it!

The trip was fantastic from start to finish - our guide, Ian, from Nordic Ventures was great and the group of travellers (majority solo and from different backgrounds) were wonderful likeminded people - remember you all have something in common from the off - your desire to see the great outdoors!

I’ll definitely be booking another trip through MBA!

Had a cracking time with my group and Pete our guide. Well organised and exactly as advertised . Although only a few days , when I got back home it certainly felt like I had been away and connected with nature and the wilds. Camp food was amazing, not sure how pete had the energy to cook fo us all! Loved it all.

It was brilliant! I’m so glad I booked onto it. Well-organised. Postcard views. Fantastic group lead. Met lovely like-minded people. And wow…still cannot believe I wild camped alongside the Norwegian fjords.

The itinerary for this trip was perfect and compact, getting to kayak through the fjords, camp, and do a big hike all in a few days. The food was fantastic, even though we were on the go, and our guide was helpful, kind, and organised. We were lucky with the weather, and our group was fun and easygoing. Honestly, nothing could have been better.

A brilliant few days! Well organised, well guided, fun, and all set in the most stunning scenery imaginable. Great to meet new, like-minded, people too which made the experience even more special. Would 100% recommend.

our group of 9 had the best time and out guide, ryan made it so good. so knowledgeable and kept us safe while allowing us to have fun.

what a great trip, the scenery is spectacular, it almost doesn’t look real. The trip was so well organised from the collection and return to the airport, through to the kayaks, camping and food. We had a great leader in Mike who really looked after us all.

This is a very well-run, organized, and breathtaking adventure through the Norwegian fjordlands. Our guide Emily was kind, funny, and relaxed. She kept our group very well fed and safe the whole trip. Her priority was always to have us warm, whether through a hot tea or coffee or through getting food ready for us after a long day. Plenty of food, even salmon for the pescatarians. Jan also provided a nice airport transfer for us and was very friendly.

Physically the trip was a challenge but a good challenge — the hike is very long with one steep section, but the journey will take your breath away. The paddles are very doable. Everyone in the groups had an adventurous spirit and mindset, embracing things like rain and wind with positivity. One thing that was interesting was the variation among the campsites — one group camped with 2 flushing toilets, hot showers, a fridge, and electric kettle. However, our group had only a long drop toilet that was very full and poor and our campsite was shared with sheep that covered the ground/camping area in poo. It would have been nice for the experiences to have been more even.

Overall I highly recommend this trip!

This trip was breath taking. It really made me as an element on this earth feel so small surrounded by these colossal fjord walls standing tall and magnificent for millions of years.

An incredible 3-night trip. The kayaking was wonderful with breath taking views, wild camping was in such an incredible setting with great kit. Hiking was fantastic and in the most breathtaking setting. The fjords were stunning, The evenings by the campfire made it even more special. Everything was brilliantly organised. A true once-in-a-lifetime experience, highly recommend!

Reid was an incredible guide for our Norwegian adventure. The experience was amazing from start to finish. Reid was really experienced and supportive with all activities - and made a fab dinner on the campfire. The kayaking was great fun with some incredible scenery. The hike was challenging but doable - and the views were SO worth it! They had everything you needed for the camping and kayaking to be comfortable and enjoyable - I would recommend a camping pillow though as it made a big difference! An amazing trip, well organised and brought together a great group of people. Don’t hesitate and just book!

The fjord kayak, hike and camp was one of the best adventure holidays I’ve had. It was the perfect mix of each activity and the scenery was epic.

The obvious standout reason for the comfort I felt was our guide Emily. She was super chilled, had great energy and interesting knowledge about the landscape around us. She was prepared, efficient and made us all feel super relaxed! What a gal!!

Would absolutely do a trip like this again with much better adventures!

A far better way to see the fjords than the usual cruise ships packed with tourists. Eye level with seals and watching white tailed eagles sore overhead. The walk is long but doable with basic fitness.

Our guide Reid was excellent and put the work in to feed us and keep us together safely in the kayaks.

The hostel in Voss has a “school trip” vibe to it but was convenient and well organised for the pick up early morning.

The holiday went smoothly and we are already planning our next trip with MBA.

What an amazing trip ! We will never forget the beautiful fjords , the hilarious people n our group and the pretty flowers on the hike . Our guide Mike was excellent , really kind and very patient. Food was plentiful and delicious . The equipment we used was good quality and of high standard . We felt very well looked after and the trip ran like clock work . Ladies don't stress about packing it all works out . Take old trainers for the camp site . We are in our 50s and we're easily able to complete the hike and kayaking - do not hesitate to book !

I loved every second of this trip. My jaw was dropped like most of the time, such stunning places, excellent guide and food plentiful and yummy.

Absolutely amazing trip didn’t want to go home! Action packed weekend with stunning views. The hostel in Voss for the first night was clean and tidy and had comfy beds. If you get a chance the Voss gondola is a great thing to do with your free afternoon/evening in Voss.

The hike was a challenge with some steep sections but so worth it to see the sights from the summit.

Jan and all the team were great, so welcoming and helpful. Everything was so well organised from start to finish. My group’s guide Ian was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He always made sure everyone was ok and was a great chef.

The food throughout was great and plentiful also catering for a mixture of dietary needs.

The campsites were well kept and the tents were nice and spacious. Definitely do bring a small pillow for sleeping.

Overall a great trip and a must do adventure.

My trip was OUTSTANDING. I can't recommend this adventure enough. Our guide, Ian, was a total pro and took care of us without being overbearing. The scenery was INCREDIBLE (duh). The equipment was high quality and clean. The company was super well run, efficient, and impressive. Their headquarters even had a built-in coffee station and showers for the end of our trip!

The food was delicious, healthy, hearty, and the portions were HUGE. They did an amazing job meeting everyone's dietary needs.

This is a physical challenge, so know yourself. The kayaking wasn't too hard, we took a slow pace with a bunch of stops, and we luckily didn't have any strong headwinds. There aren't strong currents in the fjords, so the water was pretty glassy and very calm. The hike was a BIG walk. 14 miles total, 7 up and then 7 down. Start at sea level and walk up to nearly 4,000 feet elevation. There is a part of the hike that is very steep and slippy, making it slow going. I was 6 months pregnant when I did it so it took our group (as I was the slowest) about 10 hours total to do the whole thing. Be prepared and bring some Advil for afterward. And make sure your boots are broken in before you go!

Remember that you are camping outside for 2 nights, sleeping on the ground, dealing with the elements, using an outhouse. The accommodations were amazing, but this is not a trip where you are warm and cozy the whole time. Bring proper clothing and your feet may get wet.

This was one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken. We were lucky to have perfect weather. The group experience made it that much better. You MUST do this trip!

Our trip with Mike was nothing but wonderful. Great planning, communication, and care given to the entire group. Especially appreciated the care the guides would also give to the environment, asking us to walk only on the rocky path rather than grass, double checking if we have cleaned up all the trash, and giving clear guidance for personal hygiene in the wild.

This trip was the perfect length and itinerary to be fun and fulfilling without being too challenging or exhausting. Everything was organised so well making the trip feel simple and worry-free. The food was excellent and plentiful. Just a great experience, so glad I did it!

Great weekend from start to finish. Very well organised. Our group was great and Reid is a brilliant leader, very knowledgeable, knew exactly what he was doing and a great chef to boot!! The scenery was just unbelievable, what a beautiful area. Brilliant trip if you embrace camping, the simple life and no issues with getting stuck in!

Fantastic kayaking and hiking adventure - the scenery was spectacular and our guide Jonny was extremely professional, safety conscious and fun!

I gifted this trip to my brother for his 40th birthday – and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever shared. The combination of kayaking and hiking through Norway’s breathtaking fjords was absolutely spectacular. The scenery was stunning, the food was excellent, and the group we travelled with was full of wonderful people and a great guide. The 10-hour hike had one particularly steep section that was quite challenging, but with a moderate fitness level it was definitely manageable – and absolutely worth the effort for the views! A truly unforgettable adventure for both of us. Highly recommended!

Well organised and stunning exploration of this part of Norway led by our fantastic guide Mike. Would recommend to anyone wishing to go on a great outdoor adventure!
