Glacier Kayak Tour - Folgefonna
By Folgefonni Breførarlag AS


Norway’s awe-inspiring glaciers allow you to witness breathtaking scenes worth cherishing a lifetime. If this seems interesting, book the fjord kayak tour by Folgefonni Glacier Team and paddle through the Folgefonna glacier lake, starting from and ending at Rosendal. This kayaking trip begins at 10:30 and covers a distance of around 3 km.
You will be introduced to a member of the team at the meeting point. Following this, a brief session of equipment introduction will take place and then the team will drive you from the meeting point to the starting point of your kayaking adventure. Keeping your safety on top priority, the team will ensure your equipment and gear are in place before you enter the kayak.
You will paddle along Folgefonna’s young glacier arm to the actual glacier and throughout the trip your guide will tell you about the history of this glacier. Gaze at the spectacular landscapes around the glacier and then enjoy the opportunity to have lunch at a beach. This would be the perfect time to look around and click some pictures of the surrounding magnificent landscapes. After lunch, guests are taken back to the kayaks and then begins the return journey to the starting point.
