Walking the Fjords

This trip was very good regarding place, people, guide, food and hikes. It was true to level 3 hiking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 scenery exceeded our expectations and walking among it seemed a real privilege.

A stunningly beautiful adventure exploring Norway. Such a great variety of treks and landscapes led by an excellent, v natural guide who is v passionate about his country. If you love trekking and the outdoors, then Norway should be on your bucket list!

A great week of hiking in a beautiful location with good accommodation and lovely food - and with great guides. This is a full program with little 'down time'.

The accommodation and the guides could not have been better.
