This excursion without lunch lasts 6.5 hours, while the version with lunch lasts 7.5 hours. If your ship is in port for at least 8 hours, you can join the tour without lunch and return in time for your ship’s departure. For ships in port for 9 hours or more, you may choose either the lunch-included or lunch-excluded tour. We routinely begin this excursion 30 minutes after a ship arrives in port.
Trollstigen is closed for the 2024 season. The risk of falling rocks poses too great a danger to keep the road open until adequate safety measures are implemented. Trollstigen plateau is still accessible. Due to the route change, we will not be able to visit Trollveggen on this tour.

5.00Our guide, Iria, was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and a lot of fun! She kept us informed and entertained throughout the entire day visiting the beautiful sights near Alesund. The food at the lunch stop was also delicious. I highly recommend this tour! It was easy to find them at the pier and they were quick to answer an email inquiry I had sent.

4.00Landscape and Vitas are absolutely beautiful if you truly want to see this part of the world it’s a must. Our tour guide Antonia was very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. I would recommend this tour for nature lovers however I would recommend not doing the lunch option. The food was poor and expensive.
