Hike to Briksdalbreen Glacier from Olden, with guided coach views, lakeside photo stops, and a 4-hour shore day built around the ice.
“It was fantastic. A strenuous hike, but worth the effort. Our guide, Laura was exceptional and the bus was well equipped.”
A small-group, cruise-friendly trip from Flåm to the Stegastein viewpoint, with admission included and jaw-dropping fjord views.
“View is good but too much crowd... very narrow road with a lot of traffic.. Not very friendly driver and uncomfortable vehicle”
Guided e-bike tour in Olden, Norway with local stories. Easy motor assist, scenic stops at Singerheimen, Laukifossen, Old Church.
“The whole ride was beautiful! My dad and I had a great time, even in the rain. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable about the area, too!”
Beginner friendly kayaking in Olden, Norway. Stable double kayaks, wetsuits and shoes provided, calm fjord paddling, and great guide stories.
“Glad we booked with Viator as only 3 of us and Audun the guide. Really fab experience and learned so much about the local culture, stories and personal touch from Audun. He’s a truly outstanding guide. The kayak itself and the suits, boots etc. All provided and in good condition. Kayaking on the fjord itself was breathtaking and a definite highlight of our trip. Would recommend!”
A guided bus route from Flåm to Borgund Stave Church, Laerdal, and Stegastein, with the E16 tunnel and fjord views.
“Grateful for the experience. We saw beautiful views and the outside of the church. It was their first year doing this tour, so it wasn't perfect. It would have been nice to go inside the stave church. Also, they had some issues with a safety check that added time (and stress) to the tour.”
Short glacier hike on Austdalsbreen from Skjolden, with a RIB boat ride on Styggevatnet, safety gear, and time on real ice.
“We did the glacier half day tour with Ice Troll. It was well organised, a great experience and a brilliant day, we all loved it (family of four inc. 8 and 12 year olds). The boat trip to the glacier was fun, and the glacier walk exciting and the guide informative - they even provided a cup of hot chocolate for us all when on the glacier which was very well received. It was a warm day, but windy, so the boat trip could be very cold if not in layers. Definitely recommend hats and gloves.”
Kayak on a glacial lake, hike to Nigardsbreen, then walk the ice with crampons and rope on a small group tour from Skjolden.
“Kale was an excellent guide! Great views from on top off the glacier. Being all the clothing they recommend. It can be cold up there.”
A 4-hour guided glacier hike from Olden cruise kai to Briksdalbreen, with Olden Valley views, English commentary, and glacier lake stops.
“Nice tour, well organized, plenty of time at the glacier. Good commentary. The hike to the glacier is moderately strenuous.”
Private pontoon cruise from Skjolden explores quiet inner fjords, with pickup, stops at Molvik and Vikanes, and train return to Bergen.
“We visited Bergen for two days with our teens and wanted to guarantee a fantastic fjord experience before driving to Odda. We found Bjorn online and chose a private, personal and local experience vs. the tourism ships. What a great day! Bjorn had us driven to his location and spent over four hours teaching us about his area, heritage and life in Norway. His tour was relaxing and interesting at once. We enjoyed wine and local seafood. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Thank you Bjorn!”
