Hop-on hop-off bus around Haugesund with a narrated audio guide in 7 languages, unlimited rides for 24 hours, and key sights on your schedule.
“Great trip, plenty of information from the guide. Quite short trip for the cost but otherwise very good”
Self-guided Oslo to Bergen day trip with the Flåm Railway, Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord cruise, bus to Voss, then rail to Bergen.
“Unfortunately, the boat from Flåm to Gudwangen was cancelled due to technical difficulties (beyond anyone’s control), but Viator was quick to reach out with alternate travel plans and happy to refund those legs of the journey I had to forego. As I was traveling alone, I was lucky enough to hop on a different boat and enjoy my time on the fjord. I was determined to not miss out on this once in a lifetime adventure and I’m so glad I did not. Absolutely breathtaking! Part of traveling is going with the flow. Thank you, Viator, for being so accommodating.”
Tromsø to Sommarøy by fjords and coastal viewpoints on Kvaløya, with photo stops, warm drinks, and winter-ready driving.
“Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side today, but the heavily falling snow just added a different angle to a great trip. You could just imagine the stunning scenery on a clear day of the fjords on the drive to Sommaroy. Kent was an excellent driver in the scary conditions and very informative.”
Self-guided Bergen to Oslo day trip with fjord cruises and Flåm Railway, plus Voss train and scenic bus ride.
“This package included a fantastic itinerary of Norway fjords and trains. The scenery is stunning. The weather on our trip day, however, was rainy and cloudy, so just consider that you might not see the sights in the same way as in the advertised photos! No fault of the company.”
Bergen waterfall day trip with three falls, a walk behind Steinsdalsfossen, Stone Age carvings by the Hardangerfjord, and tight timing.
“Amazing day! We enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide, Buis, was very thoughtful and kept the day full of adventures. We started the day as a van full of retirees, who were strangers, with a love of travel. We ended the day with new friends that love to travel.”
One-day bus tour from Svolvær through Lofoten, with stops in Nusfjord, Reine, Flakstad and Henningsvær plus digital stories.
Day trip from Svolvær to Andenes for 3 hours of Arctic whale watching from a RIB boat, with scenic bus ride and included lunch.
“Because the bus stop had been moved due to work, we were confused about the boarding location in Solvaer... We didn't see the bus and therefore didn't pick it up. We took a taxi to the ferry as quickly as possible... but we were 5 minutes late... Expedition costs gone, taxi costs added, a very big disappointment to process!!!! So sad!!!!”
Snowshoe through snowy forests near Bodø on a small-group winter day trip, with gear, transfers, and a flexible guided route.
“Definitely book this! Trip was very customizable to suit everyone and it did not feel touristy at all. A great way to authentically explore the area. Ivar is also a wonderful guide!”
White-water rafting on Norway’s Sjoa River. Class III to IV rapids, coffee, lunch, hot showers, and pro guidance in 5 hours.
“We had an amazing day rafting on the Sjoa River with our guides Mickey and Rob, and the kayaking photographer Kuba. The day was filled with laughter, excitement, very fun rapids and plenty of rafting guide jokes. The vibe was great from the moment we arrived and the river beautiful and wild! We felt very safe after the guides’ introductions and could enjoy the experience to the fullest, even with little rafting experience. The wild water swimming, the crazy Italien rafting guide, the hot shower afterwards and the delicious soup made the day unforgettable! Highly recommended (even in bad weather, as the rain doesn’t bother you at all)!”
Guided hike through Åselidalen, the Hidden Valley, from Bodø. Glacier-shaped scenery, lakes and waterfalls, and stress-free navigation.
“Our guide was Ingrid, a very nice girl, who, let me mention, walked the whole way barefoot! She also told us interesting facts about the dry pine tree and showed us the difference between real and fake blueberries The place, the lakes, the small waterfall, everything is beautiful, and we were lucky that it was a sunny day, so we even took a bath in one of the lakes. The water temperature was just right for refreshment, but not too cold. I recommend this trip to everyone”
Winter light chase on Senja with small-group viewpoints, snowshoe walk, bonfire and cabins at Camp Fjordbotn, plus meals and gear.
“We had a great time visiting the Senja island! The hosts took care of the whole day trip programme - we drove around the island and took many stops at beautiful and picturesque locations. We were served a delicious home made dinner and went on a snow shoe hike down to the camp fire place. We also managed to see the beatiful sunset and even the magical northern lights! We reccommend the tour to everyone :)”
Private day trip from Ålesund to Geirangerfjord with ferry views, waterfall stops, and the Eagle Road in your own pace.
“Janika was terrific. We saw the fjords at our own pace. We visited small quaint towns and avoided the tourist buses. We had a SUV to ourselves for 8 hours.”
