Here is a description from the agency we’ll be touring with, “We paddle into the very heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Park in our kayaks and leave all roads behind us as we take you to the special places only accessible by kayaks and small boats…We paddle past small local farms, waterfalls, green forest clad mountains.” The tour includes a BBQ meal and refreshments! After a day of kayaking we’ll head back to the Airbnb for a shared dinner and relax for the rest of the evening. DAY 4 We’ll start with breakfast together at our Airbnb again. We’ll pack lunch and snacks to bring to eat at the top of Mt. Prest, a moderate yet stunning hike. After descending the mountain we’ll head to our private booked sauna, located right on the fjord.
