Multi-sport in Norway's Fjords, Lakes and Rivers

Our adventures are built for small groups, with a maximum of 12 travellers on each guided tour. Each group is diverse, comprised of men and women of many different nationalities and ages. By travelling in small groups we leave minimal ecological impact, cause less disruption to the native life and are able to gain a better appreciation for our surroundings. Small numbers also allow greater flexibility and spontaneity: a dinner in a local home, an impromptu village wedding invite and any such experiences that can become among the most memorable experiences of your BikeHike adventure.

We understand that people come in many fitness levels, so we've graded our trips accordingly. There are four difficulty levels on our trips: Easy, Moderate, Challenging, and Strenuous. This is a “moderate” trip.

These trips include 4-6 hours of physical activity throughout the day, with many breaks along the way. The biking portions of BikeHike Adventure’s trips are the most cardiovascular portions of the trips. During the biking section, our travellers don’t have to carry anything on their backs as any packs can be carried in the support vehicle. During the hiking portions of the trip, the most you would have to carry on your back is a daypack.

BikeHike Adventures has been operating since 1994.

The logistics of organizing tours to remote corners of the world can be very complex. Our trip development department spends long hours researching destinations, routes, ground operations and equipment. All itineraries are screened without clients before they are added to our growing repertoire of adventures. Nothing is untested.

Our travellers share a common love for outdoor adventure. Most are looking for a physical adventure in an unfamiliar destination. A typical trip is comprised of men and women who are in good physical condition, who exercise regularly and are invigorated by a personal challenge. The age range on this trip is typically from 35-60, although we occasionally get younger and older travellers as well.

Bergen. However, you can also fly into Oslo and make your way to Bergen. You can arrive anytime on day 1 of the trip into Bergen and depart anytime on day 8. 

The weather in Norway is warmer than might be expected for such high latitudes. This is due to the warmth of the Gulf Stream, which results in a temperate climate for much of the country. Weather in Norway is best between May and September when it's usually mild and clear, and the sun stays out longer. In the summer months in Bergen, temperatures rarely exceed 80'F (27'C) and average around 36'F (2'C) during the winter.

Many of our travellers (both men and women) join as singles. On average, BikeHike groups are 75% single travellers and 25% couples.

Unlike many adventure travel companies, we don't charge single supplement fees to solo travellers. Instead, we pair you with another traveller of the same gender. If we can't find you a roommate, you get your own room at no additional charge.

A single private room supplement fee is only required if you specifically request a confirmed private room for the duration of the trip. Learn more about solo travel with BikeHike. Learn more about solo travel with BikeHike.

We will do our best to accommodate special dietary requests (e.g. vegetarian, gluten free, etc.), but ask that you please discuss your request with us when signing up for a trip. 

While most of our trips are created with adults in mind, many of our itineraries are suitable for strong and active teenagers. This trip is generally good for older children or teenagers. However, we do offer many Family Focused trips, some of which are able to accommodate children as young as six.

There are two days of biking - one on mountain bikes and the other on e-bikes. The day on e-bikes is a mix of flat and hilly terrain on country roads and bike paths. The other biking day is an easy to moderate flowy single-track trails and gravel pathways. There are routes to choose from that will suit all level of riders.

The hikes are day hikes, and you’ll need only a small daypack containing a jacket, water bottle, snacks and camera. Be prepared for some challenging climbs.

The kayaking is suitable for both beginner and intermediate paddlers and takes place in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Park – Nærøyfjord. You will paddle down a fjord in tandem kayaks and visit areas only accessible by kayak.

Each raft holds a guide who steers, and six participants or so – all of which paddle. You will be rafting on the Raundal River on this adventure, rated Class III on the difficulty scale. During the rafting, there will be opportunities to relax and enjoy the beautiful pools and waterfalls.

The Stand up Paddleboarding (SUP) takes place on a Grade 1 whitewater river section. You will start with an introduction to SUP on the lake where you will learn the basics, then paddle out to the Vosso River. There you will SUP down the river with our fully qualified guides.
