Review of Oslo’s 3-hour evening fjord cruise with an authentic wooden ship, all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet, islands, sunset views, and practical tips.
“Great cruise (it rained for o e hour of the three hour tour, but that's not their fault) and great company and food. 4 Stars for the food because it seemed a bit thrifty. Bread, lettuce, shrimp fully intact.”
Cruise Tromsø’s dark Arctic waters for Northern Lights, warm drinks, thermal suits, and helpful guides, with a second-chance discount if needed.
“Great guides who were very friendly and informative. Also helped us take great pictures! Cookies, hot chocolate, coffee etc. were provided along with some Norwegian snacks and food. Would highly recommend!”
Hear Oslo’s troll tales, Viking beliefs, fortress secrets, and notorious thefts on a lively two-hour evening walk for $42.
“The tour was very intersting and we enjoyed the details about viking and nordish history. Our guide (I think Anna was her name) was very friendly and had a very deep knowledge. Would book this tour again at any time.”
Sail Oslofjord at sunset aboard a traditional wooden ship, with city views, quiet islets, blankets, and an ample Norwegian shrimp buffet.
“Terrible directions We struggled to find the boat only to arrive in time to see it sail away without us”
Feed reindeer, ride a short sleigh, enjoy Sámi dinner and stories, and hope for northern lights on this Tromsø evening tour.
“This trip is a wonderful way to meet and feed the reindeers have a great Sami meal and find out from the Sami girls all about their culture. I woupd recommend it to anybody that looks at doing the trip.”
Glide through Bergen after dark, reach Mount Fløyen, and see Bryggen on a small-group Segway tour with a local guide.
“Great tour around the entire city. Took us into neighborhoods and along streets inaccessible by bus and would have been a difficult walk. Best part was the ride up to the Floivanen Funicular where we had amazing views of the city below.”
Cruise Tromsø’s Arctic waters for three hours with thermal suits, warm drinks, friendly guides, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
“I had originally booked this tour as a cruise tour, but as is with nature, the weather conditions canceled the boat option, and the team communicate early enough with several options. I selected the minibus tour instead. This afforded us the opportunity to go on the hunt for the northern lights and beat the clouds. And beat them we did! The team successfully tracked down gaps in the clouds and we saw the northern lights. Kudos to the team for their communication skills and efforts to find the northern lights. Not only would i recommend them, i actually booked another cruise with them on my last night (and had an…”
Ride an ATV from Alta into dark fjord country, wear warm gear, and hunt for the Northern Lights with an English-speaking guide.
“What an absolute unique experience! Some amazing views in the open air. Went to some amazing spots with clear skies and had a chance to see a little bit of the lights even through the clouds. Memorable experience! They provide everything you need with warm weather clothing, but if you're super sensitive to the cold while driving the ATV I would suggest bringing hand warmers and feet warmers. You will not be disappointed in this experience! Superb company would definitely recommend.”
Climb Trolltunga by via ferrata, watch sunset over Folgefonna, sleep in a dome, and enjoy dinner and breakfast on a 26-hour adventure.
“Awesome time all around! Great guides and experience. Very cool and worth every bit of money and time spent.”
Float in Arctic Ocean waters near Tromsø under stars, ice, snowfall, and possible Northern Lights, with warm suits, snacks, and small groups.
“Overall, highly recommended, a great experience !! but there are a few areas that could be improved: The tour should be longer, as the time it takes to put on the suits reduces the actual time spent in the water, and in the end, you get very little time to enjoy the experience. The suits and thermal layers provided should be cleaner. We found them dirty, and since they come into contact with your skin in certain areas, they should be better cleaned for hygiene reasons.”
Ride snowmobiles through Tromsø's winter wilderness, warm up with a hearty meal, and perhaps see the Northern Lights at Camp Tamok.
“The bus to the camp was very comfortable, our guide friendly, and the snowmobile ride thrilling! It wasn’t one of those quick turn around rides—it was a nice long ride, with a break to play in the snow. The Sami soup and bread, and the hot beverages in the yurt were wonderful!”
Cruise Tromsø’s dark Arctic waters aboard MS Rygerdronningen for a Northern Lights hunt with warm cabins, open decks, and a rebooking guarantee.
“Un moment génial ! Nous avons adorés ce tour en bateaux pour voir les aurores boréales. Allez-y ! Vous ne le regretterez pas”
Explore Bergen by Segway at night, from its historic streets to Mount Fløyen, with safety training, city views, and an English-speaking guide.
“Regina was excellent. Extremely helpful when teaching how to ride. Totally recommend her and this tour.”
Chase Tromso’s Northern Lights in a 16-seat minibus, with remote stops, warm drinks, photos, and hotel drop-off near the city.

Sail Oslo Fjord at sunset with live rock, a Norwegian shrimp buffet, warm blankets, and views of islands, forts, and summer homes.
“We enjoyed the live music, the friendly and helpful staff who also had good sense of humor, and the views. We appreciated the availability of blankets and earplugs. Maybe considering converting power source to electric car to reduce the exhaust smell and to be more environmentally friendly?”
