Ride an electric bike through Olden with local guide Ben or another member of the small Fjellvak guiding team. The route includes Singerheimen, Laukifossen waterfall, Olden Old Church, mountain and fjord views, and stories about life in the valley. You cycle for about an hour, with stops for photos and local history.
“Very nice ride Only 4 minute walk from cruise ship You should include that in location Easy to find starting Nice giant bikes”
You’ll paddle Olden’s calm fjord waters for about two hours in a stable double kayak, with wetsuits, boots, safety gear, and instruction provided. Certified local guides, including Audun, explain paddling, share local stories, and keep a rescue boat nearby. The route includes scenic stops and time to paddle freely before returning to the meeting point.
“The guides were amazing, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. My dad's back was hurting so they got him out of his kayak and back to shore on a boat.”
Travel by private vehicle from Flåm to Stalheim, Gudvangen, Njardarheimr Viking Village, and Stegastein Viewpoint. A local guide, possibly Vlad, handles the driving and shares practical tips. Choose a regular village tour or a private Viking guide, with time for archery, axe throwing, crafts, waterfalls, and fjord views.
“Vlad was a fabulous tour guide, great with kids. He brought a homemade ginger drink and snack along. He also had great suggestions for additional stops. Highly recommend.”
Take a private yacht from Flåm through Aurlandsfjord and narrow Nærøyfjord toward Gudvangen. Your captain controls the pace, stops near waterfalls, and can wait while you visit Undredal or Viking Valley. The boat carries up to 12 people and includes drinks, snacks, coffee, tea, and a flexible return to Flåm or Aurland.
A harbour, a hull, or a season.
