Molde
The City of Roses is best enjoyed from the fjord. This is where you get closest to the beautiful coastal landscape, the small islands, and the rich wildlife.
While Molde is often recognized for its vibrant jazz festival, captivating roses, and spirited football team, Molde FK, the city's true essence lies in its natural splendor. Embark on an unforgettable kayaking adventure with Uteguiden and discover Molde from a unique perspective, paddling through the serene waters of the fjord.
Tour Description
Your adventure begins in Molde's city center, where you'll be guided through the lush surroundings of Seterøya, often referred to as the "Moldives" due to its collection of islands and skerries.
Paddle along the northern side of Seterøya, venturing towards Hjertøya and through a sheltered lagoon, accessible only to kayaks and small boats. Along the way, capture stunning photographs of Molde's iconic panorama, featuring 222 spectacular peaks.
Meet your experienced guides at Uteguiden's adventure center in Molde, where you'll be equipped with the necessary gear and receive a thorough safety briefing before embarking on your kayaking expedition.
