See the map of the tour below the day-by-day descriptions.
Welcome to Bremanger! This place is often called “Little Lofoten,” and you’ll see why. It’s got that same rugged, windblown beauty – with dramatic landscapes, exotic white sandy beaches, and endless ocean views that feel almost otherworldly.
As soon as you arrive, you’ll meet your fellow travelers and head out for a 2 to 3 hour guided coastal hike, following a part of the North Sea Trail. This area doesn’t get as much attention as the fjords, but honestly, it should. By the time the hike is over, you will already understand why Bremanger is such a hidden gem.
After the hike, check into your accommodation in an authentic fishing village where you’ll settle in for the next few nights.
Each day will be packed with activities, but you’ll end it with a well-earned 3-course dinner – everything from fresh Norwegian seafood to international dishes.
Start your day with breakfast and a view – you’ll want to soak it all in before heading out for an exciting outdoor adventure. Make sure to pack your lunch, as today is all about exploring.
First up, a 3 to 5 hour kayak tour, depending on the group and weather conditions. Paddle through the calm waters around the colorful wooden rorbuer (fishermen’s cabins) and out into the archipelago. You will find a nice spot, on one of these many islands, for a picnic lunch.
As you paddle, your guide will share fascinating stories about the famous herring fishery era of Kalvåg and give you insight into the local flora and fauna. It’s a day to connect with nature and history in the most incredible setting.
Are you ready to challenge gravity? Feel the wind rush through the fjord and listen to the call of eagles as you take on a guided via ferrata climb up Hornelen.
Rising 860 meters straight out of the water, Hornelen is an iconic peak in the region – a bucket-list climb for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s fun whether you’re a seasoned climber or a first-timer.
Your guide will start with all the instructions you need, then you’ll hike along the fjord to the base of the climb. From there, it’s an unforgettable ascent along narrow paths carved into the mountain, with the sea stretching out beneath you.
But don’t worry! This tour is perfect for beginners looking for a thrilling via ferrata experience. There are no extreme vertical or overhanging sections, just pure adventure in a breathtaking setting.
Let your guide take the wheel as this leg of the journey is all about relaxation.
As you drive, watch the landscapes change before your eyes, shifting from barren stretches of coastal landscape to the dramatic fjords. Cross the Nordfjord on a public ferry, traveling like the locals, and arrive in the charming town of Nordfjordeid at the end of the fjord arm.
From here, it’s time to switch gears – literally. Hop on your e-bike and immerse yourself in the fjords without the barrier of a car window. Feel the wind on your face, hear the birds singing, the waves lapping, and breathe in the fresh air as you pedal through this stunning landscape. The biking route takes around 4 hours, including stops.
When you reach the Hjørundfjord, you’ll board a private boat just for you and the group for the next leg of your adventure. This is where jagged peaks rise straight out of the fjord. Best of all? You’ll have this breathtaking scenery all to yourself.
Your boat will drop you off at your hotel, your base for the next few nights. From the deck, soak in the tranquility of this off the beaten track fjord and let the peace and quiet sink in.
Time to hit the trails! Today is all about hiking, and your guide will pick the perfect trail based on the group, the weather, and local conditions. Wherever you go, expect to explore hidden gems that only the locals know about – far from the crowded paths. Why share the view when you can have it all to yourself?
No matter the hike, you’re in for an unforgettable experience in the heart of nature.
There’s something magical about experiencing the fjords from a kayak. With towering mountain peaks rising beside you, you’ll feel wonderfully small – like you have the whole world to yourself.
Step into your stable kayak and paddle through the calm waters of the Norangsfjord and Hjørundfjord. The only sounds you’ll hear are the gentle splash of your paddle and the whispers of nature around you.
Along the way, you’ll stop to rest on the shore, just in time for a picnic with a view. Surrounded by this incredible scenery, it’s safe to say you’ve found one of the most unique lunch spots on the planet (if we say so ourselves).
After breakfast, your guide will drive to Ålesund where you’ll arrive in the afternoon.
Did you know the city was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style after a devastating fire during World War II? That history gives Ålesund its unique charm and makes it a must-see destination.
Whether you choose to stay in Ålesund for a few days or continue your travels from here. Thank you for joining us!

Let our guests’ reviews about tours and vacations to Norway and their favorite travel experiences inspire you
We were so very fortunate to find Norway-Adventures.com in which they arranged our entire 2 ½ week travels in Norway. My husband and I cannot say enough about Norway-Adventures.com and how Anne and her husband planned the perfect vacation for us.
My husband and I are 70-year-old avid hikers and travelers both in US and in Europe. We only do very small group tours or find local tour companies to arrange personalized travel itineraries for just the 2 of us. They have lived in Norway for 15 years and their entire focus of their tour company is to create a very personalized vacation. We wanted a combination of unique adventures and cultural experiences, and Anne completely achieved all we had hoped for.
With all the travel companies we have dealt with in the past, we have never had a travel company like Norway-Adventures that was so complete with their level of instructions, organization, identifications of unique accommodations, supply of highly professional hiking, biking, kayaking and cultural guides. Three weeks before we left on our trip, we received our Dropbox of information that was so detailed. Everything we needed was in an extensive list of files that gave us everything we would need: GPS for driving directions, times we needed to be at the ferry, names and phones number of each of the Inns, and suggestions for restaurants, hikes and things to do were all listed with links to each of these resources. The Dropbox was the perfect tour resource that we relied on daily.
But when plans had changed due to several days of rainy weather, Anne was always available to make the necessary adjustments in our tour the day before. They say you don’t come to Norway for the weather and Anne was ready to make the changes that would not work with our rainy days.
Our goal for Norway was to be away from the heavy travel destinations that tourists travel there in the summer. With that in mind, Anne planned our trip in the Westfjords. Providing us with all the hidden gems of central Norway where the fjords enter deep from vertical cliffs, the archipelagos separate the Norwegian from the North Seas and the forests are verdant. Vast numbers of waterfalls spill down the cliffs of numerous fjord inlets. The scenery was magnificent everywhere Anne focused our tour.
The icing on the cake is the accommodations Anne chose for us. Anne is highly connected in the Westfords to the owners of historical inns who have been in the family for generations. It was so special to meet the families at each of these very special Inns and hotels where you get to meet and get to know the entire family who work there. The food at each of these inns are also family-run and incredibly fresh and delicious breakfasts and dinners that are included with your stay. With Anne’s connections, we were always surprised to find we received the best rooms in the inns and hotels.
Our hiking guides were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and so helpful in locations where I personally needed an extra hand to climb. We were so pleased with the selection of hikes that Anne organized for us. We are strong hikers, and she found just the perfect hikes to meet our adventurous expectations. The guides even brought tea and coffee and a snack when we got to the top of each mountain. What a wonderful and thoughtful treat.
I can honestly say that Norway Adventures is right up there with the best. The planning was meticulous, communication was excellent, and Anne and Anouk were extremely patient with the many many questions and queries I had in the planning stage.
We are a well travelled family, and have experience with firms like this all over the world. In terms of the trip itself, everything was seamless, nothing was overlooked, each day was exactly as they said it would be, and the planning was so precise that it allowed us to take advantage of every single day of the holiday.
We had an absolutely fantastic time in Norway. One of the most beautiful countries we have visited without doubt, and I know that we wouldnt have had the same experience without Norway Adventures. They took so much of the stress out of the planning and made sure we had exactly the kind of holiday experience we wanted. Highly recommended!
Three years ago we spent two weeks on the fjords and coast of Norway with our son and his wife. They put the time and effort into designing a wonderful trip. We were so impressed and had such a wonderful time that we could not resist coming back.
Once again, Anne really spent the time to hone in on our interests and needs in a way we had never experienced before, except with Norway Adventures. Anne put together a fantastic, engaging customized tour off the beaten track through central Norway and down the west coast, traveling by train, private driver and boat. We encountered places and people we never would have found ourselves, who gave us insights into their Norway, its deep past and currently. The local guides were incredibly generous with their time, sharing their personal experiences and perspectives. The detailed daily itineraries (sometimes timed to the minute to ensure making ferry connections 😊) made our independent travel easy to negotiate without any hitches. At every step of the way, the trip went smoothly, way beyond our expectations. We have recommended Anne to many of our friends, who have been equally pleased, and look forward to another trip to Norway designed by Norway Adventures! Steve and Carol
We had an amazing 11-day customized active trip to Norway planned for our family of four. They met with us beforehand, really listened to what we wanted, and put together a trip that included places we never would’ve found on our own.
The daily guide they gave us made everything super easy, with great suggestions for things to do in each spot. It was such a fun and stress-free way to explore Norway. We’ll definitely use Norway Adventures again for future trips!
Our Norway Adventures family vacation was nothing short of spectacular! Every detail on the trip had been thoughtfully planned to meet our family’s specific interests and abilities, with meticulous attention to detail and seamless transitions.
Thanks to Norway Adventures, our family of four tackled a via ferrata, kayaked to a campsite in the fjords, and hiked snowcapped mountains with stunning views. We give Norway Adventures our absolute highest recommendation!
