Kayaking Tour and Overnight Wilderness Camping in Øygarden from Bergen

This kayaking tour in Øygarden departs from Bergen, a diverse city on the southwestern coast of Norway. Øygarden is a striking archipelago located just west of Bergen, characterised by rocky cliffs, rugged islands, and quaint fishing villages.

The kayaking trip to Øygarden begins at the meeting point in Bergen, where you'll be greeted by your experienced guide. They will drive you to the starting point at Syltøy, an island in Øygarden, located 30 minutes from Bergen. Upon arrival at the activity base in Syltøy, you'll receive the kayaking equipment (double kayak, paddle, life vest, and waterproof bag) and a safety briefing from the guide. Then, the kayaking adventure in Øygarden begins!

Following the instructor, you'll begin paddling along the stunning archipelago, weaving between the beautiful Øygarden Islets. Øygarden is a haven for unique wildlife, and you may spot species such as eagles, seals, and other birdlife. After the kayaking tour of Øygarden, you'll arrive at an old restored farmhouse on one of the islets. The traditional farmhouse is equipped with a toilet, shower, full kitchen, outdoor barbeque, and several bedrooms with beds.

When you arrive at the farmhouse, you and the guide will prepare a delicious dinner together, consisting of locally sourced products and traditional Norwegian dishes, such as in-season fish, local crabs, and waffles with sour cream and jam for dessert (vegan/vegetarian meals are available upon request). While you enjoy your meal, the guide will share insights about the local history and culture of Øygarden.

After spending your night camping in Øygarden, you'll be woken up to another traditional Norwegian meal for breakfast. You'll have some time to enjoy the peace and natural beauty of the shoreline and garden before the return kayaking journey to Syltøy. After paddling on a different route, you'll arrive back at the activity base on the island. Then, you'll enjoy a leisurely stroll around the island and a delicious lunch, before the guide drives you to the original meeting point in Bergen, where the kayaking tour and overnight camping trip in Øygarden comes to an end.
