Project Active Norway 2024 - This trip gets 5 stars from me in all areas and is an absolute must-do.

A stunning part of the world that should be on everyone’s bucket list, and from the moment I left my front door everything was taken care of, the organisation from start to finish was faultless and I can honestly say there is not a single aspect of this trip that could of been improved on.

​If you're going anywhere, make it kayaking and hiking the fjords of Norway with Project Active—you will not be disappointed.

Norway 2024—This was an amazing trip that took me somewhere I’d never been but always wanted to.

Other than the physicality of the thing, the beauty was that it was all ‘on a plate’—travel sorted, itinerary sorted, food sorted.
Ben provided the catalyst and the organisation needed to make me sign up. I’m really pleased I did.

A-maze-ing!

An unforgettable adventure in Norway with Project Active!

Embarking on an outdoor adventure in Norway is like stepping into a realm of awe and wonder, with its fjords, mountains, and lakes that seem to have been plucked from a fairytale.........

Read more more about what james had to say here

The world around us seemed to fade away as we glided through the tranquil waters of the Nærøyfjord. The towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls that encircle the fjord created an almost ethereal atmosphere. Our knowledgeable guide ensured our safety while sharing fascinating stories about the fjord's history and geology. We even spotted seals basking on the rocks and eagles soaring overhead. The highlight of our kayaking adventure was stopping at a secluded beach for a picnic, 

Camping in Norway is a treat for the soul; waking up to the sight of mist rising from the water and the sound of nature waking up around us was the perfect start to our days.

Although I did not join in with the main hike, I was in my element at the Fyord side campsite with my fishing rod, lost in the scenery and my thoughts.  

Our adventure in Norway was a perfect blend of physical challenge and serene beauty. 
This trip was not just a weekend break but a journey into the soul, a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reflect. 

 I highly recommend Norway with Project Active to anyone seeking an unforgettable outdoor adventure. 

Ben's planning, communications and logistics made it so easy from start to finish. I did not have one negative thought throughout.

The trip was nothing short of magical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Fit or Skilled Do I need to be?

You really do not need any kayaking experience. Your guide will give you full instructions and a safety briefing at the start. You’ll just need reasonable levels of fitness to handle approx 25km of relaxed paddling over two days, a day of hiking and be up for camping out overnight.
The hike is not for beginners and is very challenging, particularly if it is or has been wet. Early or late in the season, there can be snow on the ground too. We would only recommend this hike if you are an active person with hiking experience. It just takes a bit of time getting up the steep section but don’t worry, it’s no race to the top.
The route is about 10km each way, making a total hike of 20.7km. The elevation is sea level to 1,189m and quite steep in places. The hike is about 8 to 11 hours return, with an awesome view from the ridge at the top to the fjord below.

How Many People will be in the group?

The trip will be split into groups of up to 10 people. Let us know if you are travelling with friends, and we will make sure you are in the same group as friends who have booked.

What's the Weather like?

​The weather in summer is very comfortable for kayaking and camping, with temperatures at 15-20 degrees Celsius, sometimes more. It can get chilly at night so a warm jumper and some thermals are vital. This time of year daylight in Norway is constant with only 2–3 hours of darkness in the evenings.

What Are the Norwegian Fjords?

​One of the most beautiful places in the world. A fjord is a deep, narrow and elongated part of the sea, that stretches inland for miles, winding around mountains, valleys, and steep cliffs. The fjords were formed by the giant glacier tongues and shaped over several ice ages.

WHAT SORT OF KAYAKS ARE USED ON THIS TRIP?

​There are a plenty of Sea kayaks available for you to use with a mix of single and doubles available depending on your preference.

How Do I Pack for this and can I store my luggage somewhere?

You're free to bring any luggage or suitcase you wish with you to Voss. On day 2, you'll check out of your accommodation with all of your luggage and transfer by bus to the host's kayaking base in Gudvangen. Here, you'll be given a 22-litre dry bag to pack everything into for your kayaking, camping and hiking adventure (excluding your sleeping bag and sleeping mat, unless you bring your own). You will be given a hard waterproof case for your camera/phone too, and you'll want to keep certain things handy such as your water bottle, cap, sunscreen and snacks. You'll need to pack light as your dry bag has to fit into the hatched compartments (bulkheads) of the kayak, along with the group's food and equipment which will be shared among the kayaks. The remainder of your luggage that you don't need on the adventure can be left behind at the kayaking base in Gudvangen, where it will be safely stored until your return.
Don't stress, your host will explain all during the briefing.

Do I need TRAVEL INSURANCE?

YES, most definitely!

Please remember that Project Active is not a travel agent without any industry ATOL protection.
We simply do our homework and due diligence to try to source and select the best itinerary, accommodation and ground agents we can that suit our group needs and requirements with a decent level of service and professional experience. 

Project Active can not be held liable if something goes wrong beyond our control so this is why you MUST have suitable travel insurance to cover yourself in the case of medical emergency and any unforeseen travel changes. 

Why Are your adventures only for adults? 

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.

Who is guiding the trip? 

Your trip is led by carefully curated local hosts and expert guides. 

Can I skip The Hike? 

​There should be no problem with staying back at camp during the hiking day for someone not wanting to hike. It may also be possible to just come along for the first part of the hike and then return to the camp, this does depend on where the group is actually camped as this may affect options.

What if I need to cancel? 

• If you need to cancel then please let us know asap as we will try to resell your place for a refund (although this cannot be guaranteed) or send a friend, family member or colleague in your place. 
• As stated above  the 25% non-refundable deposit is to be paid when booking with the full balance due by 28th Feb 2025
• Our trips are based on 14 people and priced on this number of attendees. We do not offer a full refund as this will affect the cost for the other group members.
