Overview

See Oslo from a unique perspective, while kayaking down the beautiful Akerselva River. You might also find a new side to yourself – your wild side! So join us & embrace your inner “Goat” while kayaking through central Oslo, & out onto the wonderful Oslo Fjord. *If your child is under 10 years then we recommend you book our “Akerselva Packraft Tour” which they can join. Our kayak tour starts in central Oslo at the Nedre Foss Gård Park, which is located beside the famous Mathallen (Food hall). From here we paddle through Grunerløkka, where you will experience an incredible blend of nature and city life - something Oslo is famous for! Continuing our urban kayak adventure we arrive in Grønland - Oslo’s cultural heart! From here we paddle out onto the Oslo Fjord – but first through a 500m long tunnel thats flows underneath the heart of Oslo city! To end the trip we will paddle out into Oslofjord, past the new Munch Museum & finish beside the Oslo Opera House – an iconic Oslo landmark!

Meeting points

The tour starts at Nedre Foss Park (Mad Goats Akerselva) beside Mathallen. You will see our van and trailer with all the colourful kayaks! Call 400 80 440 if you get lost!

Great fun!

Published on Oct, 2024

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.

Perfect introduction to Oslo

Published on Aug, 2024

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.

Great fun!

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!
