About this activity

What makes this experience unique is the opportunity to paddle directly through the heart of Oslo while still feeling close to nature. Akerselva offers a rare combination of urban history, green surroundings, and calm stretches of river that are not accessible by foot.

Using stable and beginner-friendly packrafts, participants get a safe and immersive perspective of the city from the water. The tour is guided by locals with strong knowledge of the river, providing a smooth and enjoyable experience for both first-time paddlers and more experienced participants.
