“This was an awesome experience! One of the best excursions we took in Norway. It was so much fun and allowed us to see so many sites, some up close. Our tour guide was amazing. We were suited up and did not get wet at all. The seats were comfortable and we had a place to store phone and other small items on the boat with us. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique way to tour the Fjords. Wish I could do it again!”

“We were picked up by Andrea right on time at our hotel. We were the only two people that day, so it was a private tour. Grateful that the company did not cancel the tour.

“The day trip was great and the hike was truly memorable! We had to go through some tough weather at times due to heavy rain but with the right gear it was all manageable. Our guide Line was very kind, patient and helpful. At no time during the hike she was rushing anyone, and always made sure everyone in the group was doing well. She also gave us plenty of time at the top of the pulpit rock to really allow us to take in all of the spectacular views. Looking back, I could have done this trip and the hike by myself too but going with the group on…”

“This was one of the most amazing hikes we’ve ever done. We were incredibly lucky with the weather — clear skies, sunshine, and no wind, with a fresh layer of snow from the night before making the views even more magical. The trail had just enough snow to feel adventurous, but was totally manageable, and the mountain tops around us looked stunning. Our guide, Allen, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable, passionate about the area, and led us through some hidden paths and viewpoints that we’d never have found on our own. We even got to spend nearly an hour at the top of Pulpit Rock with barely any crowds…”

“Dag (I hope I spelled his name right) is an exceptional tour guide. Very knowledgeable and patient. Pulpit Rock is rated Moderate and despite what you may read, this is a Moderate hike so be prepared. We had one tour member who could not complete the hike to the top and one who did but took longer than average to complete the hike. Dag was exceptional in making sure everyone was taken care of. Beautiful hike. Stunning views. I can't more highly recommend this Tour and experience.”

“Barca molto bella e comoda, Bellissimo giro sui fiordi. L'autobus di ritorno ha la stessa compagnia di quello dell'andata e bisogna chiedere informazioni sugli orari di ritorno all'autista. Nel nostro caso c'erano solo due orari, 16 o 18, noi siamo riusciti a prendere il primo. Il percorso del trekking è ben segnalato e impossibile sbagliare strada.”
