Akerselva Kayaking
Nordre gate, 0551 Oslo, Norge 1 h 30 min
Kayaking down Akerselva is a surprisingly peaceful experience in the heart of Oslo. You start at Nedre Foss and paddle towards the Opera House, passing urban landscapes and green hidden spots. It is just enough physical activity without being exhausting, and navigating through the tunnel at the central station together gives a great sense of accomplishment.
Why this works as a date
It removes the pressure of constant eye contact and small talk since you have a shared task and new sights to discuss.
What to order
Book a double kayak to work together, or singles for more freedom. Bring a change of clothes just in case.

Late afternoon during sunset when the light hits the water.
