Boat & kayak

kajakk.jpg

Hellesylt vandrerhjem has kayaks and a motorboat for rent!

If you prefer to be active yourself instead of taking the ferry to Geiranger and maybe back, we have options for you!

To discover the fjord from a kayak is a very special experience. Almost in the water between big cruise ships and high mountains, you feel pretty small and at the same time closer to this giant nature as never before. If you have experiences with paddling, you can even reach the famous waterfall The Seven Sisters and see it from below! Or you can paddle to one of the mountain farms along the fjords and take a break in order to experience how people lived here in the old days.

If you decide to rent our motorboat instead, you will be a lot faster! Maybe you want to drive all the way to Geiranger, visit one of the mountain farms along the fjord or you have plans to catch a huge fish from the boat?

Wonderfull breakfast, and a very nice Fjord view. I think t was a bit hard to find it at night, so I suggest studying well the map before going

Very good location for visiting Geiranger Fjord. Everything was fine, and price was very ok (one of the cheaper hostels on our trip). The building, bedrooms etc. are a little older, so that could be renovated.

The staff was very friendly. The single-room was clean, with good facilities. Breakfast was very good, a lot of things to choose from. The whole hostel had a really nice atmosphere. Good value for money. Thanks for the nice time. Tom.

we have been travelling since 6/15 and have stayed at youth hostels. and yours is the best, particularly the view from the dining room, kitchen, patio, and sitting room. anne, the staff on duty, is very nice too. if we get a chance to travel to the area, we definitely will stay in your place or recommend your hostel to our friends. problem is norway is just too expensive, with the us$ devaluating each day. we also love your all your can eat buffet breakfast.

Lovely setting with fine views of the fjord. Well worth the walk up there. The weather was great and the staff very helpful and friendly.My single room was small but functional with a bunk bed, desk, chairs and washbasin. The staff kindly kept my luggage for the day while I went out walking. The bus stop for Alesund is just down from the hostel, which runs at least twice a day. Breakfast is plentiful and the room overlooks the fjord. The hostel also has some cabins facing the fjord.
