Connect with nature in this wild and beautiful location

For two days of this adventure, we’ll be kayaking on Lysefjord. There’s no need for any previous kayaking experience, we’ll be paddling in stable kayaks and our instructors will build your paddling skills and confidence while we explore this beautiful location. 

We’ll paddle for around six hours each day at a relaxed pace with plenty of breaks to take in the beautiful surroundings. 

We’ll hike through lush forests that follow the edge of the fjord, then climbing up several hundred metres above sea level reaching the peaks of Skyjeruvet and Fantahålå before our final viewpoint Fantapytten, Lysefjord’s “infinity pool” taking a dip in it is completely optional!

It’s a full-day hike covering 9km!

For sections on our long day hike you’ll do some basic scrambling.

Scrambling is a method of ascending rocky faces and ridges that is a blend of hiking and climbing, typically requiring the use of both hands and feet. It's less technical than climbing but more challenging than hiking, often involving navigating steep, rocky sections where ropes aren't usually necessary.

There is a ladder to climb on this adventure.

Our guides will meet us at Stavanger Airport and transfer us to a lovely cabin overlooking Hølefjorden for our first night.

We’ll get to know each other over a welcome dinner prepared by our guides and we'll have a briefing on what to expect for the next few days of adventure!

We’ll start our day with a hearty breakfast and coffee overlooking the water, followed by packing our belongings into dry bags and loading up our kayaks for two nights in the wild.

Our instructors will give us a lesson before we get on the water. We’ll spend the morning learning paddling techniques as we explore the fjord.

We’ll stop for a lunch on the water's edge before continuing on to our wild camping spot for the night.

Together we’ll set up camp, giving each other a hand with pitching tents.

There’s a chance for a wild swim and walk, before enjoying dinner and spending the rest of the evening around the campfire, enjoying the remote location.

Sunrise wild swim for the early risers or maybe a coffee on the watersedge!

Today we’ll hike! At first, our trail will run close to the fjord, eventually climbing to several hundred metres above sea level where the trail winds along mountain cliffs and gorges, including the peaks of Skjerajuvet and Fantahålå – through stunning landscapes and countless panoramic viewpoints. Eventually we’ll find the legendary Fantapytten – Lysefjord’s own “infinity pool”.

Returning to our camp spot, we’ll enjoy a hearty dinner around the campfire.

Starting the day with breakfast, we’ll pack up our camp and load up our kayaks for another day of kayaking on the fjord. On today’s route, we’ll see beautiful waterfalls, an abundance of wildlife and we’ll paddle below Pulpit Rock, where we hiked the previous day.

We’ll have lunch on the water and paddle back to our starting point to be dropped back to Stavanger airport.
