The prefect trip to explore Ålesund, and highly recommended for families. Stories about the area, why Ålesund is built in the Jugend style amongst much more is just some of the info you will get on this sea kayaking in Ålesund. During this trip we take several photo-stops where your able to get some great photos. We meet up at our activity centre in Ålesund city where we have a perfect starting point for kayak trips. Here you will get equipped with all the mandatory equipment and get a safety breefing before we head into our kayaks.

Not as advertised, poor service. This was advertised as a way to see the art nouveau architecture of Alesund from the water. We paddled past a commercial port area, the only tour information provided was about nesting birds and that there was a fire in 1904, and then we turned around and paddled back. No information about the city or architecture.
Further, they refused to properly adjust the foot peddles because they had 24 people and we had to accommodate their inability to get guests loaded into the kayaks on time. Ridiculous to ask paying guests to be uncomfortable and unable to properly brace while paddling in fairly bouncy water.
If you want to kayak in Alesund look elsewhere.

Patrick was a great guide and kayaking in Alesund was beautiful. We felt secure getting in the kayak with the instructions given to us beforehand, and felt very comfortable navigating the waterways. Kayaking through a town with a very different experience and then the views opened up on the coastline and were gorgeous. We loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone.

We had an amazing experience. From the cruise port the adventure centre was only a short walk. The guide Patrick was very nice and he had a lot of knowledge and tips about Alesund. Thank you for the nice tour Partrick!

We loved this tour. I’m a little baffled by the remarks made by a lady regarding how difficult the sea kayaking was. It’s the sea! It wasn’t remotely unsafe and was easy to paddle, the canoe was a two man sea kayak exactly as expected. Our guide was lovely although it’s difficult to talk to 4 couples independently he gathered us from time to time to tell stories.
Getting out wasn’t easy or graceful, I’m a 62 year old overweight lady with a dodgy knee and back but with a little guidance and shuffling my bottom onto the back of the boat and crawling out but it’s doable and everyone was the same - not remotely graceful.
I would do this again in a heartbeat

Great experience kayaking, they helped me with the gear as it was a bit long to put on. Very happy, highly informative and kind people working here. Loved the experience off the cruise ship. Was mad to see Alesund and the fjords off this! Its a must if you reach here!

The route itself is very beautiful and great for beginners but the tour guide explains the technique rather poorly at the beginning and does not wait to give his explanations at the photo spots until all participants are together again

Superb discovery! Great for a 3-hour outing in Ålesund
The staff equipped us very well, gave us very good advice and took great care of us!
I recommend the tour other than just the short 1h30 tour around Alesund because we stay around the recycling centers/refineries/and fish factories... that's not the most beautiful place!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, the experience and the views are amazing!!
The guides from Uteguiden were very friendly and helpful! We learned so much during our trip such as more about Ålesund and Norway itself. They were also flexible enough to change plans for our trip due to bad weather rather than cancelling the entire trip. I will definitely recommend this guide among the many others here and especially if you are looking for more outdoorsy activities! We took tons of photos and videos!
