Norway Small Group Trips

A fantastic varied moderately challenging weeks walking with superb views from every top! Having always wanted to visit Lofoten this week didn’t disappoint…blessed with blue skies every day was a stunning adventure…beautiful quaint fisherman's villages to rugged mountain tops straight out of the sea. Each day was different and we had time for some cultural visits after the days walking.

A real level 4 trip, with steep sections on most days, some scrambling and rocky paths, but also some gentler parts along ridges and the coastline, with the rewarding views over majestic fjords, hidden beaches and colourful villages and the Lofoten archipelago in the background.

This was my first trip with Explore and it’s definitely whetted my appetite for more! A wonderful experience and so relaxing to take so many train and boat trips across the eight days without having any stress about tickets, connections, itineraries, etc etc. The leader was excellent and she held everything together completely calmly and knowledgeably.

The first part of this trip (in Norway) is excellent but the second part with just one day/night in Denmark and two in Sweden seems rather rushed for all of the traveling involved. Unfortunately we also suffered from a couple of 2/3 hour train delays which meant not getting back to the hotel until 10.00/11.30pm on two separate days. Spectacular scenery in Norway, friendly people and good food everywhere. Our tour leader Maria was exceptional - great local knowledge and lots of suggestions for meals and destinations for free time visits.

Another excellent trip with Explore. I’ve travelled with other companies but keep returning to Explore as their ‘formula’ suits me best: interesting places, small groups of like-minded people often travelling alone and excellent value.

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.
