THE NÆRØYFJORD
As one of the world’s most beautiful and dramatic fjords, Nærøyfjord made its spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Surrounded by peaks over 1400 meters high, the Nærøyfjord is named after Njord, the Norse god of the sea, originating from the old norsk(old norwegian) god ‘Njord’, the God of sailors and the sea. Snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and serene waters make this among the most unforgettable places for kayaking the Norwegian fjords.
GEOGRAPHY
The Nærøyfjord is a 17 km branch of the Aurlandsfjord, itself part of the legendary Sognefjord which is Norway’s longest and most iconic fjord. From narrow stretches just 250 meters wide to depths reaching 500 meters, this fjord offers a breathtaking setting for fjord kayaking in Norway.
Whether you're traveling from Bergen to Nærøyfjord or staying in Voss, this tour is your gateway to Norway’s natural wonders.
