Canoeing in Norway

by Saagar

Canoeing can be done all over Norway. There are no regulations (apart from drying off your canoe thoroughly between each water course) that you need to observe.Any prohibitions should be signposted and would be restricted drinking water sources, aquaculture nets, the danger zones of hydroelectric plants' water intakes and some sensitive salomon fishing areas.In principle, there is unrestricted access to all beaches, and shore lines, however, you do observe sensible caution when you set up camp. Desinfect your own canoe with an appropriate substance if you bring it from abroad - to avoid fish-killing parasites from transfer from one water course to the next. Either bring your own canoe on a roof rack on your car, or rent a canoe where you want to paddle. You can rent canoes in Oslo, Fjorda, Femunden and many other places.Personal flotation vests.Waterproof clothing, tent.Wateproof bags...

Sea kayaking the Norwegian coast

by Saagar

Sea kayaking is virtually unknown as an activity for visitors here, but the possibilities are enourmous. A couple of companies, typically with foreign entrepreneurial spirit have established three focal points (just check internet for this), but your options are not limited to those. Anywhere along the coast where there's a bit of shelter from the full force of the North Atlantic you can combine great sea/coastal kayaking with camping. The trouble is foremost the equipment: rental companies are very thin on the ground, and buying is expensive. You basically have to contact a kayakers' club, or your local club might have a directory, use the services of the companies mentioned or bring your own.If you buy equipment, do so in Sweden on an export basis, so you get it duty and VAT free, and the prices are to start with cheaper than in Norway.

Bicycling - Rallarvegen (Rallarroad)

by monica78

There is a lot of nice places to bicycle.I will recommand the Rallarvegen because the nature is so fantastic, you get away from the busy roads and you can just enjoy the nature.If you are not well trained it will be best to take the train to Finse, rent a bike there and cycle to Myrdal. Have a good night rest at Myrdal Bed and Breakfast or in tent.The next day you will have a nice and short trip to Flåm.It is a great trip! And almost everyone can do it! You can bring your own bike, or you can rent a bike.It is simple and not so expensive.

Scuba Diving

by monica78

There is a lot of nice places in Norway for diving. The best parts is the north of Norway and West of Norway.It is possible to dive also in Oslo, but there is not so much to see. Especially in summer. You can rent all equipment on one of the diveshops around in Norway.On places where they do not have diveshops it will be best to bring your own equipment.

Beach at the Artic Ocean

by SirRichard

As we reached the Nordkapp, we put our swimming suits and headed towards the beach. People looked at us as if we were crazy. It was bloody cold, but we came here to swimm at the Artic Ocean and we were gonna do it. All around the Nordkapp there are huge cliffs, so we had to find a way down till we got to a pebble beach where we had our bath. The water was freezing, you couldn't be inside for more than 20 seconds, we just went in for the photo and up to the restaurant for a nice warm chocolate!!!
