Wander among these relocated buildings, some with sod roofs, and discover how local life has evolved over centuries. On the way back, enjoy panoramic views of Alesund’s islands, mountains, and fjords from the breathtaking Mount Aksla viewpoint.

Explore Alesund’s picturesque streets on this walking tour, highlighting one of the last Art Nouveau cities in Europe.

Immerse yourself in the charm of the Dutch countryside with a scenic drive and guided tours of two traditional fishing villages, Marken and Volendam.

Enjoy freshly brewed campfire coffee and snacks at the summit before making your downhill return, capturing stunning photos along the way.

Gain an overall understanding of the Maloy area on a panoramic drive that will present its landmarks and haunting beauty. You will discover that it’s impossible to take a bad picture at Krakenes Lighthouse, as it rests on a jagged outcropping of rocks overlooking an incredibly photogenic setting. It is especially scenic when high seas pummel the rocks and spray the lighthouse with a fine mist. Crashing waves have also had their effect on bizarrely shaped Kannesteinen Rock, which perches atop a thin stem that gives the rock the appearance of a wine goblet or mushroom. While pausing for photos, you may think that Kannesteinen looks like something totally different. A carefree walk on Refviksanden beach will reveal its immense beauty and an unusual feature of the nearby houses. They are all built with one wall thicker than the others as a buffer from strong winds that blow down from the valley.

Settle in and enjoy an immensely panoramic drive across the sparsely populated West Cape, an area little changed over the centuries. You will take in one spectacular view after another as you travel along the wild, rocky coastline to the westernmost point on mainland Norway. Its flat-topped seaside mountain provides stunning views in all directions, especially from the clifftops. The weather and seas there are notorious for changing at a moment’s notice. That’s the beauty of this pristine location; you never know what you will encounter or how long before the scenery dramatically changes. A bit further down the coast, you will find a cluster of homes overlooking chalk-white Hoddevika beach. This magical setting attracts surfers worldwide as the powerful seas often produce ideal waves. You will follow a different route back via the village of Selje; the island lying just offshore was Norway’s first pilgrimage site.

Drive along the spectacularly scenic coastline to the village of Selje, where you will cruise to a sacred island that was Norway’s first pilgrimage site. While exploring the village, you may notice Selje’s official coat of arms on some of the walls. It features a silhouette of Saint Sunniva, the daughter of a 10th-century Irish king. She died in a cave on Selje Island and supposedly performed a miracle afterwards. A short boat ride will bring you to the stark, hallowed island, where you will hear more about Saint Sunniva’s legend while exploring the ruins of a monastery that may be the oldest in Norway. The monastery tower is still intact, and climbing to its top presents an even more beautiful perspective of the setting. Nearby, you may see the ruins of a small church that mark the entrance to the cave where Saint Sunniva died after a landslide trapped her inside.

Enjoy an easy two-mile hike through breathtaking wilderness in the shadow of Alfotbreen glacier and tour a private deer farm with the owners. You will reach the farm by ferry, after which your hosts will show you around their wooded farmland, where red deer roam freely. This species is abundant and not endangered in any way, as their natural habitat is mostly intact in this part of Norway. These large reddish-brown deer, which are related to elk, are commonly spotted grazing on grasses in the surrounding forests and canyons. If you see red deer while hiking, they will likely be undisturbed by your presence as they mainly fear gray wolves and brown bears, their primary predators. It is quite the sight to see a herd of red deer with the glacier as a backdrop. Alfotbreen is known locally as Alfot and has the dual distinction of being the westernmost and most maritime glacier in Norway.

Enjoy a relatively easy but invigorating hike up Mt. Veten, the highest point on Vågsøy Island. The adventure will begin from the home field stadium for the Tornado Måløy soccer team, and before long you will reach an altitude that will offer a sweeping view of town, nestled along the naturally beautiful coastline. As magnificent as that panorama will be, the sights become even more spectacular the higher you climb. You will follow a trail that is steep in parts, but you can take plenty of breaks to relax and admire the scenery. The guide will point out and describe the most notable landmarks on the way to the summit, which soars more than 2,000 feet high. Depending on the weather conditions, you may see the Kråkenes lighthouse and Selje Island across the Stadhavet Sea. The somewhat smaller peak that you can’t miss is Brurahornet, the second tallest mountain on the island.

Kayak along the southern coast of Vågsøy Island, a portion of the fjord that several islets and reefs shelter. After a short briefing to help maximize the kayaking experience, you will put in at Vågsberget, a former trading post that flourished in the 19th century from the rich fishing grounds nearby. As you paddle off, you can expect to be awed by the rugged forested shoreline, the ever-changing seascape and the serenity of the surroundings. With the sounds of nature as a backdrop, you will glide along towards the fishing village of Vågsvåg in a deep cove that protects it from the wind. Later, on the way to the village of Holvik, you will paddle between the mainland and a slew of rocky reefs known as skerries. They too serve to shelter the coast. During World War II, the Germans occupied Holvik until Allied soldiers ousted them in 1941, a raid that persuaded Hitler to bring more troops into Norway.

Head out to sea on the Westland, a boat equipped with everything you need for a memorable day of fishing. Where you drop a line will depend entirely on the weather conditions. You might fish along the glacially formed skerries that fringe Norway’s western coast or, if the weather is more robust, you will fish in the sheltered inland waterways. Regardless, the captain will take you to favorite spots to increase the chances for success. Because the surrounding waters are cold, clear and environmentally protected, they are teeming with epic fish such as cod, haddock, halibut and sea trout. The crew will offer tips and provide the bait and tackle, so all you have to do is concentrate on landing a big one. An appropriate snack of fish soup and fresh-baked bread will be served on board. Gulls and sea eagles trying fly just above the wake looking for a meal themselves.

Journey to the northernmost edge of Europe at North Cape, where you'll stand atop a 1,000-foot sea cliff with breathtaking views of the Arctic Ocean stretching toward the North Pole. After a scenic drive from Honningsvåg, you’ll have 90 minutes of free time to explore North Cape Hall, enjoy a multimedia show, and perhaps send a postcard from the Nordkapp post office. Be sure to visit the iconic globe sculpture and take in the vast panorama that captures the immense beauty of the Arctic landscape. It’s an awe-inspiring experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories.

Gear up for an exhilarating ATV adventure across the rugged tundra of Magerøya Island. After a warm-up ride through the streets of Honningsvåg, you'll set out to explore the stark, dramatic landscape where cliffs meet the sea and reindeer roam freely. Ride up Nato Mountain, stopping along the way to learn about the region’s history and wildlife from your guide. The highlight is a visit to a traditional Sami tent, where you’ll enjoy coffee brewed over an open fire, soaking in the culture and scenery before heading back.

Explore the Arctic wildlife of Magerøya Island on a journey to Gjesvær, a historic fishing village and gateway to the stunning seabird colonies of Gjesværstappan Nature Reserve. After a scenic coach ride through the tundra, you’ll board a stable birdwatching boat to see thousands of seabirds up close, including puffins, kittiwakes, and razorbills. Keep an eye out for majestic white-tailed eagles swooping down to catch fish. This unforgettable excursion offers a rare chance to witness the vibrant birdlife of the Arctic in their protected, natural habitat.

Experience Trondheim from two unique perspectives, combining a scenic tram ride with a panoramic coach tour. Begin your adventure on the historic Gråkallbanen tram, the northernmost in the world, as it winds through the forested hills of Bymarka. Enjoy views of colorful wooden houses, 17th-century forts, and sweeping vistas of the city and the Nidelva River.
