THE NÆRØYFJORD

As one of the world’s most beautiful and dramatic fjords, Nærøyfjord made its spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Fjord kayaking in a unique setting like this, with snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and idyllic farms clinging to the mountainsides, will give you an adventure to remember.

The name Nærøyfjord originates from the old norse(old norwegian) god ‘Njord’, the God of sailors and the sea.
