Wow, what an experience Hiking and Kayaking Norwegian Fjords (Autumn) in Lysefjord Wow, what an experience. Rasmus is well organized, friendly, informative, and fun. The cabin was well appointed with all facilities you need. The food cooked by Rasmus was excellent. Our itinerary was altered to suit the weather but this only enhanced the experience giving us the opportunity to see bioluminescence algea. Stunning views no matter what the weather is 100% recommend

Amazing experience on the Lysefjord We went on a 6 hours trip on the Lysefjord and i couldn't be happier. It was really fun and amazing also thanks to our guide Trygve. I would reccommend it to anyone visiting the area, it's really worth it and they are really professional, making you feel safe but free at the same time

Excellent experience for beginners If you never paddled in your life and want to do it for your first time do it with Rasmus and his crew. They know and love what they are doing and they always do it with a smile on their face.

Amazing experience I allways wanted to visit Norway and to do it with Nordic paddling has not dissapointed. Apart from the country being breath taking, it has been amazing to experience it from the kayak and doing hikes. Thanks so much to Rasmus for making this possible and being so kind, amazing cook, knowledgeable, answering all my questions and telling me stories and interesting facts about the surroundings and Norway in general, I had a lot of fun and would definetly do it again.

Brilliant tour from start to finish! I would highly recommend this tour. From the moment of being collected at the airport and (sadly) dropped off 4 days later our wonderful guide Trygve went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group had a wonderful time and memorable experience. The kayaking (on the fjord), hiking (Pulpit Rock and Vikastaken) and camping were so throughly enjoyable with breathtaking scenery throughout. The campsite location at the edge of the fjord was so beautiful and such a treat to wake up amidst the great outdoors Norway has to offer. Add into the mix great food and a really friendly bunch of fellow explorers it created the perfect recipe for a truly unforgettable adventure. Many thanks Trygve, wishing you and Rasmus all the best :-).

Fun camping and kayaking trip A great trip through some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. Trip is 2/3 kayaking and 1/3 hiking, with great landscapes throughout. Pulpit rock alone is worth it!

3h tour at Lysefjord - nice, even for Kajak-Newbies We went for a 3h Kajak-Tour (Lysefjord, Guide: Rasmus) and had a great evening. It was a small group of four people and the guide and even as Kajak-Newbies it was a lot of fun! Rasmus explained a lot about the area and guided us around the fjord. We also could spot a seal (: highly recommend this tour to any Kajak-Newbies who wanna have a go and experience this beautiful fjord.

Rasmus Damgaard Jensen have been working and teaching in the outdoor industry for nearly ten years. He’s been sea kayaking since 2013 and is a certified DKF3 Instructor in Denmark and Turleder (4-star) in Norway. Rasmus has been guiding and teaching courses in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and England. From 2015 to 2018 he studied to be a “Friluftsveileder” (Outdoor Leader) at the University of Southeast-Norway, which marks his courses and guided tours with an educational and curious approach to nature.

Rasmus founded Nordic Paddling in 2019, with the vision to make memorable multi-day kayaking experiences available to anyone at any experience level.

To me, kayaking is like a stew. Kayaking itself may be the vegetables and meat to the stew, but an understanding of the coastal-culture, history and foraging from nature are the seasoning to the stew – otherwise, it would just be flavourless.
