About Rogaland Aktiv

We aim to see: " A smile on your face"

Rogaland Aktiv AS was founded by Kjell Strand in the autumn of 2015 and was run by him until fall 2024 when Liv Bjørnø got the opportunity to take over the company.  My predecessor Kjell put a smile on so many peoples faces through the years through hiking, sea-kayaking, bicycling, skiing, Mesternes Mester and lots more. I aim to do the same through a slightly more local and slightly more serene approch.

The company is run from Stavanger, Norway with activities located mainly on Kalvøy for the 2025 season. Rogaland Aktiv collaborate with Kalvøy Maritime Park on their premisses on the serine, breathtakingly beautiful island of Kalvøy. Our main activities are team-building, kayaking, hiking, and private tours for groups. On request, we can do it all, please ask us. New of the 2025 season is Yoga retreat day! Try it out!

All hikes, tours of town and kayaking include knowledgeable and personable guides, who will make your experiences memorable.  Tours can be tailor. Don't hesitate to ask us!

Liv Bjørnø 

Owner and CEO

Love of people, nature, movement in nature and local heritige is my main drive in Rogaland Aktiv AS

My family background is from Bjørnøy, a local island close to Stavanger and Kalvøy. I take a keen interest in local history as well as connecting local history to other parts the world. I have a background as a qualified guide in Stavanger.

Loving nature and moving about in nature and living on an island made me take up seakayaking. I qualified as an instructor 11 years ago and has since educated new kayakers both in Stavanger and Oslo. I can for the 2025 season be rented as an instructor. In due time we might get new kayaks for Rogaland Aktiv AS, and start running quided tours and courses again.

Activities for the 2025 season will be focused on Kalvøy at Kalvøy Maritime Park with fun and games for both the corporate world and school-classes through the Mesternes Mester concept! 

New of 2025 is Yoga-retreat day 24.05! Try it out! We look forward to seeing you there!
