The Sognefjord, the king of the fjords, is the longest fjord adventure in Norway. The fjord is 204 kilometres long and 1308 meters deep and is made for kayaking.

The Nærøyfjord, Fjærlandsfjord and Lustrafjord are three branches of the Sognefjord that are great to explore from a kayak. You can join guided kayak-trips on all these fjords. We recommend you to use guide. The Sognefjord and it´s branches can be exposed for strong wind and current, the weather can change rapidly.

Kayaking the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord

Undredal is a beautiful village by the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. From here we paddled out in our kayaks. It was clear blue sky and a perfect day for kayaking. We rounded the foot of Mt. Beitelen and paddled into the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord.

Kayaking the Aurlandsfjord

At the beach at Undredal, close to Underdalsbui, I packed my kayak and glided into the Aurlandsfjord. The feeling was fantastic, sitting in the kayak on the Aurlandsfjord outside Undredal. The silence, only surrounded by the fjord, the beautiful nature and the steep mountains.

Kayaking the Fjærlandsfjord to Balestrand

It was late May, 2014. We drove from Oslo to visit Fjærland in Sogn, to spend some days in this picturesque village surrounded by fjord, mountains and glaciers. We slept in free air, and next morning we had breakfast by the fjord before kayaking out the Fjærlandsfjord to Balestrand which is another beautiful village in Sogn.

Kayaking the Lustrafjord to Urnes Stave Church

I headed towards Marifjøra in Sogn, a great place to start kayaking on the Lustrafjord which is a branch of the 204 kilometre long Sognefjord. Marifjøra is in the middle of the Lustrafjord, and from there you can easily explore this beautiful area in all directions. My goal was just to have a nice day in my kayak on the fjord, but I also wanted to visit Urnes and Solvorn, two idyllic villages on each side of the fjord.

Kayaking the Lustrafjord and part of the Sognefjord

In 1999, I was kayaking the Lustrafjord for the first time. In June 2019, twenty years later, I did it again. It almost went wrong, but I was lucky and “Saved by the Bell”. The Lustrafjord and the Luster area is one of the most beautiful spots in Norway, where the fjord meets the top of Norway with it´s numerous mountains and glaciers.
