Amazing discovery of the fjords via hiking, cruise, ferry rides and mini-bus travel. The accommodations at Nes Gard and Fjaerland Fjordstove Hotel added to the spectacular hiking. Views of the fjords and farm-to-table food was amazing at both Inns. Each day of hiking was a unique experience ; all of which offered amazing views.
Our most challenging hike on the 4th day with picnic lunch at Marifijora, a spectacular view of several fjords.
Flo, our leader, was a great guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to all hikers.
This trip was very good regarding place, people, guide, food and hikes. It was true to level 3 hiking.
Glacier hike/trip.
Flo was GREAT. He truly made this trip what it was. Kind, patient. He was attentive to everyone’s needs, monitored everyone during hikes, knowledge of area was top notch. I can’t say enough good things about Flo as a guide/leader.
DO THE glacier walk/hike if you go on this trip. Costs extra but DO IT. It is worth every penny - when will you get another chance possibly! The food AMAZING - much better than anticipated, 3 course meals at dinner. READ TRIP NOTES - the NES Gard facility DOES have shared bathrooms for single people even if you pay single supplement. Norway is a beautiful country worth visiting if you love nature. The hiking in my opinion was very doable - level 3 but lower level 3. The pace was not fast at all, everyone was able/capable on our tour. I would highly recommend this trip.
One of the best Exodus tours we have done. Norway is staggeringly beautiful, and we experienced it in a way that is simply not possible from the deck of a cruise ship. All the walks are linear, but the landscape is so varied that it never seemed repetitive. The accommodation was excellent, and Nes Gard is a real gem.
Hard to say - Mt Molden, the glacier walk, the unpronounceable valley.....
Flo was outstanding. Always professional, caring, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He made a great trip an unforgettable one.
Get ready for all weathers, and bring a pair of gloves, even in the summer. The walks are harder than they look on paper - some of the paths are seriously uneven, and need attention, particularly on damp descents. Bring poles!
Fantastic week walking in beautiful Norway. Think I have fallen a little in love with the country and the people. Views were breathtaking. The itinerary was moved around to accommodate weather and later finishing. This worked well and we got a bonus trip to a local farm with an excellent cafe. I chose not to go on the glacier walk. I certainly didn’t miss out as the alternative walk was absolutely stunning.
Flo was first class. Very organised and worked hard to ensure we all got the best experience. Anders at Nes Gard went above and beyond in many ways including providing plasters for my blisters, and rustling up extra homemade bread. Both Flo and Anders made a huge effort to make us feel welcome.
Norway was not as expensive as I had feared. There are some long drives on this trip but the scenery definitely compensates. This trip is right at the top of my favourite Exodus holidays.
Anders and Flo provided a great support on this trip. Beautiful walks, breathtaking scenery, great accommodation throughout. Perfect balance between walking, sightseeing and down time.
Glacier walk, hike to Molden with some amazing views of the Sognefjord, Stave church to name a few.
We couldn't wish for a better leader. Florian was very helpful, approachable, inspiring and knowledgeable. Nothing as ever too much trouble and he was a pleasure to talk to.
- take a few thin layers, as the weather may be changeable, even during the day. - enjoy the amazing fjords and embrace the cultural heritage of Norway
As a first time hiker I was worried about what to expect from this trip but I shouldn’t have been. Spent a truly amazing week hiking varied and incredibly beautiful landscapes, interspersed with some breathtaking ferry trips. The pace was manageable (although I did start with a good base fitness) and there were often options to shorten or lengthen walks depending on capability but this was always optional. Nes Gard itself is a truly special place and perfect for an escape from real life. Waking up to the view of fjord everyday was such a contrast to living in the UK. The staff at Nes Gard are lovely and evenings were spent eating fab local food and then drinking and catching up in the bar with new found friends. This is the perfect holiday if you want a break from reality, a chance to unwind and to see some truly beautiful scenery as well as the chance to make some amazing friends.
There are too many to really mention but the two stand out moments were getting to the top of the mountain on the first day and looking down over the Fjord. The sun was shining and the water was an incredible turquoise. Our group had laughed and bonded all the way up the mountain and there was a huge sense of achievement at the top. The second was on the last day at the waterfall. We'd all spent an amazing week with each other and there was a poignancy that it was our last day together. The waterfall was magnificent and the scenery breathtaking- it was my favourite hike and it was sad that it was the last.
Anders was a really fantastic group leader. He was knowledgable, kind, funny and you knew you were safe with him. He went above and beyond to spend time with the group, flex the schedule to take is to the bakers for cinnamon buns and overall look after us. He never pushed anyone to their limit and took time to understand the individual needs of the group.
You do have to have a base level of fitness for this trip to really enjoy it. Some of the ascents would be tricky in the rain and the terrain is full of rocks so you also need to be steady on your feet. That said in out group there were 4 people over 70 who managed just fine and had a great time!
Nes Gard Farm, what “a little gem” of a place to stay for the week. The team, food and wine pairing option was truly amazing at this special place which was also surrounded by incredible scenery. The evening hike briefings for the following day took place either in the charming wine cellar or wonderfully converted old cattle shed with a drink or two to start the evening off before our delicious three course meal was served up each evening including locally sourced ingredients where possible and the option for wine pairing with each course. Being September we were particularly lucky with the sunny warm blue skied weather with no rainfall all week. Each day we set off on a very different hike led by our fantastic guide Anders. No one day was the same and the scenery truly breathtaking. We got an wonderful appreciation for all Norway has to offer in terms of views and what an incredible first visit to this beautiful country we had and we we would love to come back to the country in the future.
The trip highlight for us was the glacier walk as we had not done one before, my partner only wished it was longer as it was such a fun experience to do. The photos on the Exodus website truly do not represent how stunning this country is with some extremely memorable hikes.
Our guide Anders was a very good guide. He held an evening briefing every night before dinner. He used the briefing to get feedback about the hike of the day and if there were any problems. He then covered the details for the next hike,providing information about departure time, distance, terrain, weather and hike time length. The briefing allowed guests to ask questions and get sound advice on clothing, equipment and food/water to bring and on the last day offered an shorter route alternative during the hike for some of the group.
We would recommend the glacier walk option in the itinerary if you have not done one before. There was a lot of boulders on some walks and so we would recommend bringing walking poles if you use them.
