Stunning scenery and views and an excellent guide made for a great excursion. The hike was relaxed and easy. We really enjoyed the drive through the town and countryside, and the hot drinks and sandwiches at the top was a lovely touch. Thoroughly recommend this excursion and company!

Beautiful scenery

Abbey_B, Jul 2025

Our guides and the scenery were fabulous. The van was very comfortable. The info was a little misleading in a couple of areas. Hiking poles and sitting pads were not provided. Description said a vegan option was available but they decided to go to all vegan for everyone which we didn’t particularly like. Was more of a moderate hike to me, but very doable.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hello Abbey, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the scenery and had a great experience with our guides! We are sorry that hiking poles and seat pads were not provided as described. This should have been made available and we will make sure it does not happen again. Regarding the meals it is noted on our website that we offer only vegan meals on all of our tours to accommodate various dietary restrictions and avoid allergy risks. Thank you again for your honest feedback and we hope to see you in the future!

Mountaintop experience

Elaine_J, Aug 2023

This was a great hike. It wasn't strenuous (I am mid-60's) and the views are incredible. We ended up having a private tour because the other couple's ship didn't arrive in time. We came in on the Viking Mars ship and had plenty of time to look around in town and then meet our guide (Anthony) at 11:00. Anthony was so friendly and shared lots of his experiences. Because it was only the two of us, we got done a little early and had time to grab a quick bite before our next tour. So glad we did this hike.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello Elaine! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the hike with us. It sounds like you had a fantastic time, with the incredible views and the unexpected private tour making it even more special. We're glad that our guide Anthony added to the enjoyment with his positive vibes and story telling. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future!

Leuke (niet zware) klim naar een prachtig uitzicht. We werden begeleid door gids Armand, die ons zijn enthousiasme voor Noorwegen deelde
