Kristiansand: Otra River Guided Kayaking Tour

Good to know

This is a scenic river kayak tour, suitable for most people. No previous kayaking experience is required, and your guide will support you throughout the entire tour. We paddle with the current, which makes the tour smooth and enjoyable. The strength of the current varies depending on recent rainfall, but there are no rapids. You will receive clear instructions before we start, and safety is an important part of the experience. We use stable kayaks and take our time. The tour runs in most weather conditions, rain, wind or sunshine. If the weather is too bad, we cancel. The tour ends at a different location, approximatley 12 minutes from the city centre/square and 25 minutes from the cruise ship (most of our gest wants to see the city before they go beack to the ship. There are no changing rooms or lockers available, but we have storage room in the kayaks.
