The Perfect way to experience the Oslo fjord!

5.00The guided kayak tour was an amazing experience! It was such a lovely way to experience the Oslo fjord. The guide was wonderful. He did a great job pointing out sights and was very knowledgeable about Norwegian history and highlights of the area. If you want to have photos of your experience you don’t need to take your own phone. Felix our guide took great photos of my son and me and then shared them at the end of the tour. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00Really enjoyed this tour. It was a great way to see Oslo from the water and experience the fjord up close. The guide was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything was easy to follow. Even if you don’t have much kayaking experience, you’ll feel comfortable. Definitely one of the nicer things to do in Oslo and I’d happily do it again.

5.00Amazing way to experience Oslo from the water! The Oslofjord kayak tour with Mad Goats was one of the highlights of my trip to Norway. It was a really fun and unique way to see the city from a completely different perspective. Our guide Felix was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable from the start. The route was really beautiful, with great views of the waterfront, the islands out in the fjord, and the city skyline. It felt like the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oslo and would happily do it again. Tried to add photos but did unfortunately not work, but there is good examples on Google and their website

Don’t leave Oslo without doing this

5.00This ended up being one of my favourite experiences in Oslo! I’ve done quite a few outdoor activities over the years, and what stood out to me was how welcoming and relaxed the whole experience felt. The guides were knowledgeable without overdoing it, and they created a really good atmosphere from the start. Seeing Oslo from the water gives you a completely different perspective of the city and the fjord. We paddled past small islands, enjoyed some beautiful views, and had plenty of time to simply take it all in. Whether you’re visiting Oslo or you’ve lived here for years, I’d genuinely recommend doing this at least once. It’s one of those experiences that makes you appreciate how much nature is right on the city’s doorstep.

5.00Hands down the best experience I’ve had in Oslo. The crew at madgoats gave us a stellar trip. Super professional and entertaining guides that made us feel very safe. The trip gave us a great view of Oslo as well as the fjord as we toured around the closest island and even had seals swimming close by. Definitely a must do for any visitors! Cheers madgoats🍻

Irresponsible!
Birgit B,May 27, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00It was irresponsible. The group consisted of 25 people (according to description max. 15 people) supervised by one guide and two trainees. Just getting on took 30 minutes. The guide only learned that two people had capsized because he was made aware of it. The tour went over the Oslo Fjord to the island of Hovedøya and back again. There was a lot of boat traffic from ferries. Fortunately, the capsizes occurred near the island. If that had happened in the middle of the tour, it would have become dangerous with water temperatures of about 10 degrees. Unfortunately, it was not a relaxing kayak tour.
A wonderful kayaktour of Oslo🇳🇴🫶

5.00The Oslo Sea Kayak tour was exceptional! Felix is a very helpful, kind and funny guide with lots of anecdotes ☺️!! We were supposed to be with 3 people but in the end it was just me and Felix (the instructor). We did the tour anyway which is amazing, as most companies cancel. Mad goats, goes the extra mile! I received a lot of help, very funny anecdotes and many many pictures 🥰 It felt like a private tour! The level is easy enough for beginners, yet interesting for more experienced kayakers. They also provide you with waterproof jackets! The views were breathtaking and a unique way to view Oslo 🇳🇴 High recommend🫶
