The ultimate contrast to the glacier is to experience the Hardangerfjord and enjoy the fjord sides from a kayak.
Daily in summer we arrange sea-kayaking trips on the Hardanger fjord. The trips start from our booking center Juklafjord situated only 30 meters from the Hardangerfjord in the middle of the village Jondal. After an introduction and adjustment of equipment, you are ready for a real fjord experience from the cockpit in sea kayak. We start with basic techniques, how to paddle, control the kayak, and what to do if you fail and turn over and become wet. When you feel safe and can control the kayak the guide will start the trip to “Jonaneset” or other destinations, depending on waves, weather, etc. From the fjord, you will have a magnificent view of the mountains and the fjord landscape.
3-4 hours. The total paddle tour is about 5 km. Length and duration can be adjusted due to weather conditions.
All your clothing can be wet if you are unlucky and capsize; you should wear warm clothing for example wool. Bring also extra set of clothing so you can change after the trip. You should also bring a towel.
We provide all the necessary kayaking equipment.
Minimum age are 12 years old. Maximum 5 persons pr. guide. The tour is easy but if you never have been in a kayak it takes some time to get use to it. Often our guest find it difficult the first half hour before they get used to it.
Juklafjord, our booking office in the middle of the village Jondal at 11:00. Address: Jonavegen 20, 5627 Jondal.
