This was my favorite trip among the dozens of trips I have taken with various tour companies. Our host Lars was amazing - he deeply cares about the environment and is extremely knowledgeable about nature and history and full of patience for those of us that aren't as skilled as others on forest skis or snowshoes. Coming from a warm climate, I was a tad concerned about getting cold but the winter clothes they provided kept me nice and warm even when it got down to -30C (admittedly I did wear 2 levels of thermals underneath). The accommodations were delightful - cozy cabins, great food, toasty sauna. The beauty of this area is hard to describe - one of my fellow group members said it reminded her of Narnia, which seems about right. The air was so clean. The vibe was always so calm. I came home feeling so rested while also knowing I got my share of exercise. For me, the exercise level was perfect. I am not at my fittest but the level of intensity on this trip was perfect for me. I definitely earned my dessert calories.
See the Northern Lights from Scandinavia's breathtaking mountaintops on this 10-day tour of Helsinki, Alta and Oslo. Journey through Finnish Lapland—250 km above the Arctic Circle to Ivalo, the Gateway to the North. From the comfort of your cosy cabin in Aurora Village, gaze out through the glass roof as the lights of the aurora borealis dance above. Cross the Finnish-Norwegian border to North Cape and sample caviar in Europe’s northernmost point, before a once-in-a-lifetime visit to a working husky farm. Here you will meet the Arctic dog-sled racing Alta huskies—a world-famous champion dog sledding team, before stopping in Tromsø, where the Indigenous Sámi community invites you to help feed their reindeer herd. The vacation draws to a close on the scenic, once-Viking, shores of the Oslofjord.
From the vibrant Icelandic capital of Reykjavík, embark on a cruise from East to West Greenland and experience a celestial spectacle like no other - the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse in one of the world's most awe-inspiring destinations. Following this spectacle, witness glaciers flowing from the snow-capped Watkins Mountains, experience the cultural richness of Tasiilaq and marvel at the stunning fjords of Skjoldungen. Sail through the magnificent strait of Prins Christiansund, venture deep into the fjords of South Greenland, visit Nuuk, one of the world's smallest capitals and traverse the breath-taking Evighedsfjord. This once-in-a-lifetime 13-day expedition cruise ends in Kangerlussuaq, with an included flight to Copenhagen or Keflavik.
The entire trip was excellent from beginning to end. Spending 2 days in each city was a godsend. Each of the side tours were very informative with knowledgeable guides. There was good free time. The cruise was very nice along with cabin and free buffet. All the women on the tour mixed very well and I would highly recommend more women only tours. I would recommend this tour as is to any woman eager to travel and feel safe.
A really great experience visiting Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Our guide Mads was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, giving detailed info for every location we visited, as well as being attentive and kind. The Fjords are amazing, as well as the Flam Railway but then everything we did was enjoyable!
We had such a great bunch of people in our small group of 11.
Would highly recommend this trip, absolutely no negatives!

I have been on numerous Exodus trips over the past ten years and the Walking the Fjords has been the best. Why! Quite simply the accommodation and food was first class and plenty of it. The Hosts and staff at Nes Gard worked tirelessly to make our week memorable. As for the treks each was unique in scenery and condition under foot, ending with a course on using crampons which included a climb over the glacier. It also helps being blest with excellent weather. Making this a trip to remember.
Venabu is a great addition to the Exodus brochure. Good range of skiing, great leaders, effective instruction, very good hotel. This would also be a good base for some overnught(s) in the huts that are within reach. A must do trip!
