Unforgettable Times on the Fjord

Where do I even begin? Beyond impressed with Nordic Ventures and the enthusiasm and wisdom that our guide Craig brought to the experience. As a leader of an outdoor touring company from the states, I brought a group of 12 teenagers on the 3 day itinerary of kayaking and hiking. Craig greeted our kids with a playlist that got everyone motivated, and continued to bring an infectious positive energy that created a joyous group environment. Additionally, as an instructor myself, I learned some invaluable leadership skills from him. He struck the right balance of empowering students through responsibility, setting clear boundaries, and making jokes/having fun. Our students were thrilled by the gourmet fjord-side meals and the wildlife experiences (goats, sheep, etc.) they got to have with Nordic. The paddling was absolutely stunning, and the day hike was some of our students favorite views of the entire two week trip in Norway with my company. Would do this trip again and again!

An amazing adventure from start to finish
This was one of the greatest adventure holidays I have has the pleasure of being on. To begin with, my partner booked us this trip in 2020 and the company was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule due variations in travelling restrictions that have been occurring over the last two years. The experience itself was invigorating with amazing views, fun kayaking excursions and a challenging but rewarding hike up a mountain. We were very fortunate with the weather but even with the rain on our last day, its was still an amazing experience to kayak and explore. Although exploring the Fjords is an amazing experience in itself, I think it was the team at Nordic Ventures that consolidated my enjoyment of the trip. We had the pleasure of having Jonny Innes be our guide, and he was an absolute star. He prepared fresh meals every day and even went the extra mile to accommodate my vegan needs, with varied and filling meals to provide the energy for the days activities. And I like a lot of food! I was really appreciative of the fact that I had my own meal set up with desserts and snacks included, and I was never made to feel left out which was a very appreciated factor. He contributed to the great vibe of the people we shared our experience with, he was knowledgeable about kayaking and the Fjords in general, you felt safe in his care and his penguin and airplane joke is one of the greatest things Ive ever heard! So a big thank you to Jonny and the team of Nordic Ventures as this was an absolutely fantastic experience that will cherish with my partner, and no doubt we will be back. Very highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
