Norway: Progressive Road Trip

Norway. What can you say about Norway?

It’s a paddler’s paradise. Within a few hours drive from our base in Sjoa, you’ll find all the paddling you could want. Big water, waterfalls, playruns, steep creeks and steeper creeks. Wide open tundra and committing canyons. Class III and class V. There’s a reason that Norway’s earned its reputation, and that’s because it deserves it – it’s the world’s best creeking destination.

Our expert guides have spent summer after summer living in Norway, so they know exactly what’s in store. They know what goes at what water level, including glacial melt, snowmelt or rain-fed rivers. So there’s no guesswork – we’ll guarantee you a week of world class paddling, led by some of the world’s best creek boaters.
