Beautiful views. Make the hike.
On the hike there are some steep climbs and loose gravel so wear good shoes. But the views at the top are outstanding. Kevin was a great guide and sheep caller. He shared a lot of fun stories and is a pleasant guy. I recommend this tour; just know your abilities and comfort level on hiking. It's fairly short and worth it.

Had a fantastic time on the boat trip! The whole experience was fun, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. The crew were friendly, welcoming, gave us few tips on fishing and some facts about Stavanger, and made sure everyone had a great time.Would definitely recommend this boat to anyone looking for a fun day out on the water.

Great morning at the farm
It was a little tricky to find the tour operator at first. Best to use Google maps rather than the directions given. The tour wa excellent. Only 6 of us in a mini bus so felt really personal. The best part by far was visiting Kevin at the farm/veiwing point. He is very welcoming and knowledgeable. He really took the time to tell us about the surrounding area and history of the region. Feeding the sheep was great fun. We had about 15 minutes at the rising tides and 20 at the monument. The tour guide on the bus was great. Told us all about the history of the town and some stories of the local Kings along g the way. Overall a really great way to spend a few hours.

5-Hour Guided Hike Tour to Himakånå The Mini Trolltunga
Jeffrey_L, Aug 2026
Great Hike
This was a very good tour that kicked off on time and we returned as scheduled. Our guide was Johannes, he was well versed in details and facts about the local area. The hike itself was about 3.5 miles round trip, but fairly steep from beginning to end with some loose gravel, making it somewhat slippery on the way down. I would say it’s a somewhat difficult hike for those reasons. The views on the way up and at the top are wonderful. They provide a lunch that consists of a lunchmeat and cheese sandwich, chocolate bar and bottled water.

It is quite the hike which can be challenging at times but not impossible. It is all worth it, especially with an exceptional guide like Tore. He was very patient and very knowledgeable about not only the hike but also the whole fjord.

An Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure in Nordfjord!

An Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure in Nordfjord!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Kjell and Kim on the North Fjord Sea & Safari fishing tour! We were a group of 11 people—6 adults and 5 children (ages 5–12)—and every single one of us had an amazing time.The fishing was outstanding. We caught more than 30 fish, and there were several moments when we had two or even three fish on the lines at the same time! The excitement never stopped, and the kids were absolutely thrilled from beginning to end.This was our last port day during our Disney Cruise Line Norway itinerary, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the trip. Every one of the kids said this was their favorite excursion of the entire vacation, which says a lot considering all the incredible places we visited.Kjell and Kim were friendly, knowledgeable, patient with the children, and made sure everyone had a fantastic experience. If you’re visiting Nordfjord or Olden and are looking for an unforgettable family-friendly adventure, we can’t recommend North Fjord Sea & Safari highly enough.Thank you for the wonderful memories. This is an experience our family will be talking about for years to come! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great way to see the outskirts of the area and still have plenty of time to shop and/eat.
Excellent tour! It was very easy to find the meet up spot which was an approx 5 min walk. The guide was great, very knowledgeable. He told us he was born in Germany but has lived here for decades. The tour is presented in English and he spoke it quite well. The beach and St. Olaf Church stops were my favorite. Do yourself a favor and touch that beach sand! The view at the church is absolutely breathtaking. FYI, entrance into the church is not included with the tour, but someone said the door was open and you could peek inside. All but the last stop at the church had restrooms. Before we crossed the bridge to the port area the guide asked if anyone wanted to stay in town…do it! There’s a pedestrian only street with lots of shops and restaurants. We had about 1.5 hours to wander after the tour before we had to be back onboard. It was a bout a 10 minute walk from the foot of the bridge back to the ship. Overall great tour, we stayed on schedule. Highly recommend!

Worth the hike!
Great experience from the start. Met up with driver and guides Christina and Mats. All three were wonderful and had some nice anecdotes and info on the area they shared. They kept good time on everything and made sure everyone was doing well even though we all went at different paces. My son had to forge ahead as I was a little slower and Christina made sure he was able to get some good pictures. Thank you so much! I hope I can someday make it back again. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide in Stavanger

No Swords and Stones....
Our Stavanger tour was loaded with information. The guide was knowledgeable and full of fun tips and games. I was disappointed that the Swords and Stones was not included despite the fact it was listed as an included site on our walking tour. It was the sole reason I booked that tour. Someone should update the itinerary posted so other folks don't miss out. I would only recommend if that site was included as a stop
