Paddling with wolves. Guided canoe day-tour.

Paddling with wolves. Guided canoe day-tour.

Canoe paddling in small groups on calm lakes in a nature reserve rich with wildlife such as moose and beaver. A pack of wolves also reside in the area. You will be surprised by the level of wilderness only 25 minutes drive from the centre of Oslo. A skilled outdoor guide with local knowledge will be with you to introduce you to canoeing and make sure you stay safe during the tour. The guide will also arrange a proper lunch, prepared and served in the outdoor. Traditional Norwegian food with ingredients such as reindeer or moose is usually on the menu. Glide through the lakes, listen to the silence, to the birds and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this unique nature area.

Itinerary

Pick-up in the centre of Oslo at 09.00h. for approximately 25 minutes transport to the starting point. After a short walk where we roll the canoes on trolleys we will approach the first lake. You will get a safety brief and be introduced to canoeing before we start paddling on calm lakes in beautiful nature. The area where we paddle is a wilderness area even though it is close to Oslo. It is a nature reserve rich with wildlife such as moose and beaver, which we sometimes encounter. A pack of wolves also reside in the area.

After canoeing through several lakes we stop for lunch and the guide will prepare a proper meal, often around an open fire if the conditions are right. If the weather is bad we will have our lunch-break inside a cabin in the forest. We normally serve traditional Norwegian food such as reindeer or moose, but also arrange vegetarian meals.

After lunch we start paddling back towards where we started, but with a slightly different route, and will eventually end up by the starting point again for transport back to Oslo.

On request we also arrange overnight tours in this area.
