We believe life is for living, hence why we encourage you to “Grab the Goat by the Horns” and get out there in the great outdoors! Nothing makes our team happier than seeing you having an awesome time with us on the water, whether that’s rafting, kayaking or swimming in the river after a sauna – we hope to “Catch You on the Water” soon!

Kayaking Oslo – Explore the City By Water

Mad Goats provides kayak, packraft, and stand-up paddle-board (SUP) courses, tours and rentals in central Oslo. Both the Oslo Fjord and the Akerselva River.

Over 10 years ago Mad Goats were the first kayak company to start guiding people down the iconic Akerselva River, which runs through the heart of Oslo, and out into Oslofjord. Over the years we have taken many 1000s of happy Goats on this wonderful urban kayaking experience, creating memorable moments filled with laughs and smiles!

Sjoa River Sauna:
a Relaxing TO-DO in the Heidal Valley

Our forest sauna in Sjoa is a great activity whether you want to relaxed after a kayak course / raft trip, or are just passing through the Heidal valley and want to check out a very authentic and exhilarating experience.

Mad Goats’ Sjoa River Sauna is a hidden gem nestled beside their paddling base in Heidal, right along the legendary Sjoa River. After an exhilarating day of whitewater kayaking or rafting on crystal‑blue rapids, visitors can unwind in a cozy forest sauna with hot tubs close by—an ideal way to soothe muscles and reconnect with nature. The idyllic setting—surrounded by pine and the sound of rushing water—brings a true Nordic chill: warm wood, steamy air, and panoramic river views. Whether you’re pitching a tent, hanging in a hammock, or parking a camper van on-site, a visit to the Sjoa River Sauna offers an unforgettable blend of adventure, relaxation, and pure natural bliss.
