Canoe Trekking Norway
Pure adventure: our youth trip to Norway
This trip is perfect for adventurers and true nature lovers! Instead of fridge and console, paddles, tent and campfire await you. In 4-person canoes we travel along the Glomma, Norway's largest river, through unspoiled forest landscape – true to the motto: Back to Basics. No electricity, no running water, no permanent sanitary facilities – but plenty of freedom, wilderness and loads of action.
Our tour starts in Hanestad and takes us all the way to Rena. Along the way we carry everything we need right in the boat: tents, equipment and our mobile kitchen are always on board. Every day we discover new riverbanks, set up camp in the middle of nature and spend the night under the wide starry sky. In the evenings we sit together around the crackling campfire and look back on the day's experiences.
With a bit of luck we'll meet a moose or witness the magic of the Northern Lights. And don't worry: even if you've never sat in a canoe before, you're in exactly the right place. The tour is suitable for beginners as well as experienced paddlers.
Sounds like the adventure of your summer? Then pack your spirit of discovery and experience Norway at its wildest – a youth trip you won't forget in a hurry!

In Germany our journey ends in Puttgarden. There we drive our coach onto the ferry towards Denmark. We also cover the route from Denmark to Sweden by ferry. Then our coach journey continues. Last stop: NORWAY! Hjertelig velkommen! Our adventure begins... During the coach journey you can already quiz our camp leaders about Norway. During the coach breaks and on the two ferries you'll have plenty of opportunity to stretch your legs. Remember to bring enough food and drinks for the journey. You will find the information on whether your chosen boarding point is served, boarding points with a surcharge are only served from 5 people, in the customer centre. You will receive the link to your personal customer centre with all the information with your booking confirmation by email. There you will also find the boarding information about 4 weeks before the start of the trip. If your desired departure point is not served, you will be assigned the nearest boarding point.
