Begin your adventure in Voss, a lakeside town known for its long tradition of friluftsliv (Norway’s outdoor-focused way of life) and its position between the Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord.

Around 6pm, say hallo to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.

Your tour leader then ensures a warm Norwegian welcome by arranging a group dinner.

Ease into the adventure with a calm-water kayaking trip (two to three hours) on the Hardangerfjord (transfer: 30 minutes). With cliffs rising above and small farms lining the shore, the fjord has long been central to life here. Our local guide helps bring those stories to life, pointing out seabirds and explaining how people have used these waters for centuries. The activity is suitable for beginners, making it an ideal way to tune into the pace of western Norway.

After time for lunch in Voss, you trade paddles for altitude, riding the Hanguren gondola to the top of Mount Hanguren. In just nine minutes, we glide from the valley floor to the upper slopes, where walking paths branch out across the ridge.

From the top, walk back to Voss (6mi/9.5km) with the tour leader, which takes around 2hr 15min. If you feel like a more relaxing journey back down, you can take the gondola back down instead.

Meals included:Breakfast

Voss becomes our playground this morning as we head out on e-mountain bikes. These easy-to-use bikes help smooth the terrain, letting us ride over 2hr 30min through rugged trails, pristine forest, and the stunning mountain landscapes without needing elite fitness levels. Our expert bike guide leads the way, sharing favourite viewpoints and adjusting the pace to the group.

After, we transfer (20 minutes) to the clear waters of Raundal River for an exhilarating 1hr 30min ride through one of the most remarkable river landscapes in Norway. Skilled river guides join us on board, helping us to read the water as we paddle through wave trains and calmer stretches – an adventure suitable for beginners and experienced rafters alike.

Meals included:Breakfast

Travel to Myrdal by train this morning, a high-mountain station famed for its engineering history. From here, we walk (30 minutes) on the short gravel track to Vatnahalsen, where we clip into northern Europe’s longest zipline, flying 4,530ft (1,381m) to the small goat farm of Rallarosa in Kårdalen.

On arrival at the farm, we pause for a chance to sample their cheese before our two-hour bike ride (9mi/15km) down the beautiful Flåm Valley to Flåm.

From here, we switch to the water, taking a two-hour RIB ride along the Aurlandsfjord and into the narrow Nærøyfjord, surrounded by towering mountains. Along the way, we have excellent views of traditional farms and may even see grazing goats and basking seals.

Mooring at Gudvangen, we transfer (50 minutes) back to Voss.

Meals included:Breakfast

You’ve paddled on the Hardangerfjord, flown down the longest zipline in northern Europe, and travelled deep into UNESCO-listed fjords, but now it’s time to begin your return journey home. Your tour leader will arrange a group drop-off at the airport.

Alternatively, if you’d like to extend your adventure, speak to your sales representative to discuss our large range of extension options in Voss, Bergen, and Oslo.
