GrayLine Ålesund hop-on hop-off bus with 7-language audio, Aksla views, and a major saltwater aquarium, made easy for cruise days.
“As a group going on excursions with someone in a wheelchair we found accessible activities difficult. But the hop on hop off service was amazing for us. It allowed us to visit some amazing sites with little hassle.”
Stress-free cruise from Ålesund to UNESCO Geirangerfjord on a modern catamaran, with photo stops at Seven Sisters and The Suitor.
“This was an awesome trip. Put it #1 on your list if you’re in the area. The fjords are amazing. You won’t get to see these at this size and grandeur anywhere else. The crew was wonderful - engaging, friendly, knowledgeable, accessible. Geri ranger is a nice visit - well worth at least a short day. We took eMobility electric vehicles up to Eagle’s Nest, which was a lot of fun. All in all this tour was a highlight of our vacation, and a must-see!”
Ride an open-top double-decker hop-on hop-off bus through Ålesund’s top sights, with 8-language audio and coupon book perks for a 1-day loop.
“several of the audio guide points on the buses didn't work.”
Trollstigen day tour from Ålesund with small-group mini-bus stops, fjord viewpoints, Krikebrua hike, and 11 hairpin bends.
“Very easy to find off of the ship. The mini buses were very comfortable and small group size provided us with a more personalized experience. Tour guide was so informative and funny and the sights were amazing. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the beauty of Norway.”
Ålesund fjords and troll country in one day, with Gudbrandsjuvet, Trollstigen views, waterfalls, and optional lunch, plus tight timing.
“Beautiful view, worth every penny, bus driver did excellent job. You have to go, must visit area if you are in Iceland”
Alesund half-day shore excursion with Sunnmøre Museum, a real lighthouse climb at Alnes, and art nouveau sights, guided in English.
“Too many people on this tour. Couldn’t hear the guide as couldn’t get close enough. Envied those I saw on other tours who had quiet boxes. Feel we missed out on important information about locations we visited. Enjoyed the locations we visited but don’t feel we were culturally enriched.”
Guided via ferrata in Ålesund’s city park to Fjellstua in about 1 hour, with gear and safety briefing included for big views.
“Good climb, absolutely advisable to have a guide. Stunning view while climbing up. It's not difficult to do.”
5-hour Hjørundfjord cruise from Ålesund on classic MS Bruvik, with a stop in Øye, Sunnmøre Alps views, audio guide.
“This was by far the most beautiful trip I made. The boat was gorgeous, and an interesting group of people on it and the fjord and mountains literally took my breath away! If there is one Fjord to see then this is it! Do note to take a pack lunch or some snacks if Oye is the stop point as there are no shops there.”
A modern Ålesund to Geirangerfjord catamaran cruise to UNESCO sights, Seven Sisters and Suitor waterfalls, plus time to explore Geiranger.
“Great trip spoilt by delays. 1 hour delayed start, warned about just 24 hrs beforehand. Second delay of nearly an hour after an unscheduled pick up of 50 tour passengers meant not enough time at destination to do planned site seeing.”
One day from Ålesund to Trollstigen with fjords, waterfalls, and the Troll Wall view stops, timed for cruise ships and capped at 48.
“Great way to see much of the Norwegian countryside. Tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and took us to some amazing viewpoints. It was unfortunate that part of the road was closed to a rock slide so we didn’t get to go further.”
A small-group 3-hour Ålesund food walk with Norwegian cheese, moose salami, sausages, bakery sweets, and cod pizza plus harbor views.
“What a great way to be introduced to a country! We toured with Rigmor and she introduced us to the history, customs, environment and of course the food of Norway—specifically Alesund. We feel like it was a great jumping off activity to spend time with a local before heading out on our own.”
3-hour audio-guided tour from Ålesund to Godøya and Aksla viewpoints, plus Alnes fishing island and Alnes Fyr lighthouse cafe.
“De rit met de kleine touringbus was geweldig en we hebben een heerlijk genoten van de stops. De chauffeur was goed en hielp ook daar waar nodig. 's avonds op het schip zagen we de bezochte vuurtoren ook nog staan. Uitzichtpunt Alska was fantastisch.”
Sea kayaking in Ålesund with small groups, Art Nouveau stories, and photo stops from the water, plus flexible daytime and evening departures.
“Our guide was experienced, knowledgeable about the history and very friendly. We had a great time and our kids (12 & 16) can’t wait to go sea kayaking again”
Winter fjord cruise from Ålesund to Geiranger in off season, with ranger talks, bus viewpoints, Fjord Centre, and a waterfall walk.
“Rangers excellent with information and help. Food very nice too. I took the bus to the top of town and visited the exhibition all very interesting’ The fjord is brilliant and well worth the trip. In the afternoon the sun came out so a very relaxing return to Alesund”
A small-group Ålesund walk focused on Art Nouveau, sea views, and local tips, starting near the cruise port at Fiskergutten.
“Lukas was a welcoming and knowledgeable guide, full of information and very accommodating. It was a perfect start to our time in Norway, and we would highly recommend his tour to anyone. Thank you Lukas for a very enjoyable morning!”
