This company NO LONGER OPERATES, despite still listing their advertisement on Viator.com and accepting money. I booked and paid for their kayaking tour on Oct 25, 2021(over 100 euros) in Bergen. Nobody showed up at the meet up point. I then went to Tourist Center and I was informed that this company is BANKRUPT and no longer operates any tour for a while. I notified Viator, who, after failure of reaching the company, refunded me and told me they would investigate. I can't post reviews on Viator because it's cancelled. But I feel I have a responsibility to warn future travelers.
Meet-up point was perfect, really easy to find due to location and the guides arrived on time in a clearly marked vehicle.
Both the guides were really nice and friendly, and knew the area well. The kayaking itself was really well-paced through beautiful natural scenery and our guides were knowledgeable of the areas and history. All of the equipment was in good condition and clean. We also stopped off for our freshly-made lunch on an island with lots of war ruins which were incredible to see. Throughout the trip the guides took pictures for us on their equipment so we can show others what the fjords are like and keep pics of ourselves out kayaking without having to worry about taking phones etc with us which I really liked!! Nice refreshments were provided regularly throughout the trip. One of the big standouts for me was the wildlife on the trip, notably the white-tailed eagles which were amazing.

A great way to spend a day when you’re visiting Bergen - get out on the water and enjoy kayaking with this great group of people. Experienced guides, very professional, good kayaks, beautiful scenery and lots of fun. Pick up and drop off from the centre of Bergen. Excellent value for money
Fantastic trip and a great way to see the coastline when staying in Bergen. We had a dry sunny day in August which made it all the more pleasant. Super convenient if you’re staying in Bergen, the van picked us up by the harbour and brought us to the Go Paddling base for a short safety briefing and to get changed. The kit (wetsuits/, life vests, booties, splash skirt) was in great condition and felt brand new. Dry bags are provided so that you can take your camera/phone and any other belongings. They also have dry suits for colder days. After changing we took a 5 minute walk down to the beach where we collected the kayaks. There were doubles and singles to choose from depending on preference. Our guide was enthusiastic and super informative. We paddled for approx 3 hours, stoping for a quick lunch (a ham, cheese and vegetable wrap and the most delicious local apple juice) and then set off for home. Make sure to inform the company in advance if you are vegetarian. The van then dropped
