Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, this adventure offers a perfect mix of exploration, relaxation, and discovery. Bring a layer of wool to wear underneath and sneakers that can get wet. The tour is safe, and our guides will do their very best to take care of you but it is also important that you have the equipment (clothes) and physical strength necessary.
We’ll meet at Tyssedal harbour in the morning or the afternoon, where our guides will outfit with gear and go through the necessary security and safety, before embarking on the adventure.
Depending on the group we expect it to take 3-4 hours.

Remember that the weather changes quickly in the Norwegian mountains, the weather forecasts are often unpredictable and even on a summer day there can be snow. It is important that you wear good outdoor gear and have some extra clothes with you if it is cold. You never know what the weather will be - if you are lucky to get a sunny and warm day, a towel and swimwear could be nice to bring if you want to take a refreshing and cold swim in the mountain lakes.
Packing list:
• Sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• Snacks
• Waterproof jacket and pants
• Waterproof hiking boots
• Warm baselayer, preferably wool
• Water: 1,5 liters
• Backpack - minimum 30 liters + rain cover
• Mittens, hat and buff
• Warm wool socks x2
• Down jacket or warm sweaterThe list is based on what we think is most significant to bring. The most important thing to remember is to bring enough warm clothes. Our best tip is to use wool as it will keep you warm, even when it's wet.

NB: Parking at P2 or shuttle to/from Odda is not included in the price.
One of our top priorities is to leave no trace in the wonderful Norwegian nature. We try to leave the surroundings at least as good as we found them. We invite you to join us in this by taking down everything you bring up into the mountains.
NB: It’s recommended to use a guide outside the summer season which is defined between the 15th of June and the 1th of October. This is due to uncertainty related to weather, snow, rivers, and less daylight, which again have led to several rescue operations over the years. The weather changes fast at this time of the season.
Note: A minimum of three guests must be registered for us to go through with the tour. We will give you a full refund if we have to cancel due to too few registrants.
You must have valid travel insurance for adventure tours.
