About us
​
Our vision is to give visitors an authentic experience of Norwegian nature and culture. By combining outdoor activities and pleasant conversations during lunch, we lay the foundation for a memorable day. We offer activities for people of all ages and at different levels. From challenging high rappels and kayaking in rough seas to quiet walks and campfires in accessible terrain. We focus on good atmosphere and a sense of mastery in nature within a safe framework. All hikes have breaks with food and drinks.
​
Klyva's goal is to create unique memories
We have experience with private walks for international players in the tourism industry and their clients, and know the requirements that form the basis for a successful experience at a high level. Our guides communicate in fluent English and are both confident and independent. The experiences do not have to be limited to Bergen, we have knowledge and contacts throughout western Norway.
Klyva is located in Øygarden municipality, west of Bergen. The coast and the sea are our closest playground, but we are just as fond of all the mountains, plateaus and fjords that are available in our region.
Meet the team
Cato
One of the people who started Klyva in 2008. He is a teacher by profession but a mountaineer at heart. Cato has been involved in various activities in nature since he was a small boy. Snowboarding, paddling, rafting, hunting and fishing. He is well on his way to completing his dream of the 7summits (the highest mountain on every continent in the world) and actually only has Mt Everest left.
He is with Klyva as a guide and is a goldmine when it comes to telling local stories and anecdotes. He is also very good at real local knowledge and history. Cato is a climbing instructor and paddling instructor. He offers courses in both.
Malin
Malin is the owner and general manager of Klyva. Since 2020, she has worked full-time as a guide for tourists. She has guided in Øygarden and also has experience as an activity coordinator for trips elsewhere in Western Norway.
Most of the assignments we get, she will take. She is also responsible for the food that is served and the person who takes requests and keeps in touch with the customer ahead of an assignment.
​
She does kayaking, climbing and all kinds of trips, summer and winter.
Malin, like the other two, is passionate about mountains and fresh air. Preferably extra high mountains. She is keen to show off all that our beautiful nature has to offer and is happy to encourage our guests to take a bath in the fresh North Sea. Malin is a kayak and climbing instructor.
​
Øystein
The other who started Klyva in 2008 together with Cato. Øystein is a carpenter and thus appointed handyman and transport manager.
He is also an excellent guide and an efficient climber. As the owner of his own carpentry company, he knows the importance of good HSE and we suspect that he sometimes walks around with a helmet where it is not needed just because he likes it.
Øystein likes everything that goes fast. Skiing, winter summits, river paddling, jet skiing. He can start the fire (almost) regardless of the weather and is the one of us with rope OCD. He is a qualified kayak and climbing instructor.
