This is an inspirational guide for anyone looking for unique experiences that put a smile on your face and get your pulse racing.
We present what must be Norway’s toughest climbing route, a 900-metre-long climb taking you up 550 metres! Enjoy a new sense of mastery when you make it to the top. Åkrafjorden Nature also offers canyoning in Smielva river at Rullestad, a route that also offers sections of a Via Ferrata trail and abseiling down waterfalls, the highest being about 30 metres.
On a salmon safari with Mo Laksegard you wear a dry suit and a diving mask, and venture to Suldalslågen river, which is known for salmon that weigh more than 20 kg!
Studying salmon and trout at close range in the wild is a fun experience you will never forget!
The 1.5-kilometer-long bike trail inspires heady jumps and sharp high-speed turns. Trail biking is a very popular activity, and Dalen Stisenter is suitable for children, beginners and more experienced bikers.
Step aboard a RIB boat in the historical Smedasundet strait and let the adventure begin. The trip is (naturally) a high-speed experience and you can choose between an island safari, a trip to the island community Røvær, a sightseeing trip in more sheltered waters or a trip to the exclusive Høyevarde lighthouse. Just sit back and take it all in!
A SUP (stand-up paddleboard) has to be one of the best ways of experiencing the ocean, without getting wet and out of breath (hopefully). Setting off on an SUP is an enchanting experience that offers a sense of calm, excitement and a new sensation – all at the same time. Raw Ocean Lodge in Karmøy hires out SUP equipment and can take you on a guided tour of secret coves in the archipelago. It's medicine for the soul and a fun experience to boot. Suitable for everyone!
Hike what is known as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. This challenging tour guarantees to get your pulse racing and offers spectacular views. The route starts at Langfoss picnic area and can be done with a guide or without a guide.
Fjord Expedition offers guided kayaking trips of the islets around Jørpeland just ten minutes from Preikestolen Pulpit Rock. The area is teeming with wildlife, including nesting birds and a large number of salmon. In a kayak, you can get up close without disturbing the wildlife.
