Akerselva River Tour

What a great time! The guide was great and very patient. Loved the paddle. We all had fun. It was cool seeing Oslo from the water.

There is no better way to see a city than to kayak along its main waterway. In years gone by, the river was a key part of transporting goods in Oslo. By kayaking along the river you get to see the city and its key attractions from the best vantage point - a kayak on the river.

Dean , our guide and his brother, looked after the group from beginning to end. Our safety was their prime concern but having fun was right up there. Our pre trip briefing was clear and we got terrific guidance on where best to paddle along the way.

You don’t need to be an Olympic athlete to enjoy the kayaking. The pace was very relaxed. Good for families, oldies and everyone in between.

Thanks Madgoats for a wonderful afternoon.

I booked a kayak tour on Akerselva for me and my daughter (16), as a fun way of experiencing old sites in a new way.

We had zero experience with kayaking, but the guide was very clear and calm during his instructions, making it easy to understand. This made every obstacle on our way easy to tackle without being stressed out, when being stuck on a rock or crashing into low hanging branches.

As we were a small group, we reached the "end station" quite early, so the guide gave us the opportunity to explore the Sørenga area for a while as well.

We loved this tour experience, such a fun way to do something different in our own city.

Thank's so much, we will do this again!

Nice little easy beautiful paddle down an urban river. A nice way to see parts of Oslo. Guide was great!

Very fun activity to do with a wonderful guide and scenery. When booking this activity we thought it would be really hard, but it was surprisingly easy

We had a great experience kayaking. We had a super small group - just 4 of us including myself. The guide was incredibly instructive before we got into the river so we felt safe and prepared for anything that might happen like rough water or the kayak rolling. The route is cool - goes through a tunnel and under some bridges and ends in open water by the opera house.

Mad Goats was really accommodating since my husband suffered an allergic reaction before our scheduled tour. They let us reschedule for the following day without issue. I ended up losing my phone in the river (be careful if you bring a phone with you into the kayak) and they even offered to try and find it for me in the river. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is reasonably fit.

Thanks Pascal, he was so patience and made sure that I was comfortable during the whole experience. It was my first kayaking but it is such an amazing way to visit Oslo. Thanks again.

Christian and Mateo were fantastic! It was a scenic paddle down the river and a lovely way to start our afternoon and see a different part Oslo.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Christian was our guide (hysterical and informative) and Mathias was our helpful driver/set-up and break-down person.

Only recommendation: our group of 12 felt a bit big for one in-water guide mostly due to differing levels of kayaking experience, but this was not a deterrent of our fun.

Highly recommend booking this trip on your next Oslo adventure!

Had an awesome time on this kayaking tour. Kevin and Christian were just great! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Oslo!
