Activity itinerary

Nordfjordeid
  • 1h
During Viking times, this settlement was an independent kingdom. Many secrets of those distant times are being revealed now, seriously surprising the local population. Your guide will tell you about the amazing finds and artefacts in Nordfjordeid, revealing the way of life of the ancient Viking society. As you drive through the White City, pay attention to the architecture typical of the 18th and 19th centuries. Your guide will show you the site where a Viking burial was discovered. It was here, in the city centre, that the largest Viking ship was discovered in 1874. This is an incredible sight, and you begin to think about what kind of people lived here more than 1000 years ago... Listen to the guide and be surprised! Short photo stop on request.
Hornindalsvatnet Lake
  • 30m
On the way to the kingdom of glaciers we pass by the deepest lake in Europe - Hornindalsvatnet. Enjoy the majestic water mirror, which reflects mountains, clouds, forests and charming farms with shaggy sheep. This lake is very large, with an area of 50.5 square kilometres and a depth of 514 metres. The lake contains only a few species of fish (such as trout, char and eel), but the rivers are much more productive. Hornindalsvatnet's source, the Eidselva River, is a famous salmon and trout fishery in Nordfjordeid. Fishing permits can be purchased from local hotels along with maps showing where fishing is permitted. Look closely at the lake as your guide talks about the amazing legends and the Horney monster that lives in this lake.
Stryn Municipality
  • 30m
Stryn is the gateway to Jostedalsbreen National Park, the largest glacier in continental Europe. The landscape of the Stryn Valley ranges from lush valleys to alpine mountains, and the core of the national park is an unspoilt landscape. We drive through Stryn without stopping, leaving this destination for another excursion.
Olden
  • 30m
Olden is a very beautiful village surrounded by mountains, located at the mouth of the Nordfjord. In summer, cruise ships dock almost every day. If we arrive when there are no cruise ships, the village will seem asleep. We'll stop for a coffee break and bathroom break before setting off to discover the wonders of this enchanting glacial region.
Oldedalen
  • 30m
We will drive through the incredibly beautiful Oldedalen valley. Since this is a private tour, we will be able to stop at the most interesting places that are not available on bus tours. Without the crowds of tourists, you will admire the dazzling beauty of glacial lakes surrounded by magnificent flowers.
Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalbreen)
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Upon arrival at Briksdal Glacier National Park, we will board an open-air electric vehicle, jokingly known as the “Troll Car,” and head along the serpentine road to the Briksdal Glacier. Get your camera ready for stunning shots of countless waterfalls, ice caps on mighty mountain peaks and bleating goats grazing on lush lawns. From the Troll Cars stop we need to walk about 10 minutes to the tongue of the glacier with an amazingly beautiful lake. The trail is uneven and rocky, with slight inclines, so you will need comfortable shoes.
Loen
  • 2h
Don't like grueling hikes? Or rather, we simply don’t have time for this. Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about: this private tour will give you the fastest and most enjoyable trek in the world with breathtaking views at 1000 metres above sea level. In Loen we take a 5-minute ride on the Loen lift to Mount Hoven. Walk along the summit, eat delicious food and enjoy the views of the Oldedalen and Lodalen valleys, admire the sparkling surface of turquoise glacial lakes that hide a tragic secret...
Nordfjordeid
  • 1h
Timely return to port is guaranteed. We're heading back to the port Nordfjordeid, and let your guide treat you to some Norwegian ice cream. We are sure that you have never tried ice cream like this before, it is natural, made from fresh cream, it is pleasantly cold, but not frozen. This will be a great and delicious end to your private tour!
