One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. The hike to the lake is stunning and when you get to it it will leave you speechless. If you are up to it, don’t stop right when you get to the lake. Keep going around till you reach this amazing cascading waterfall that leads right into the lake. Can also go a little further to the beach area if time allows. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Do it!

Even though we could not travel with the ferry and visit the lake cause of a landslide. The guider and the bus driver were very kind and tried to make as comfort. I highly recommend the tourist office. We also thank you for the proportional refund.

Great trip, Sue, our guide was AMAZING. She had an extremely interesting back story, told us troll tales from memory and even played us some music. The scenery was spellbinding and even with the drizzle, it was great. In fact , ive nothing to compare it to, but i reccomend a damp day with clouds for very moody pics. Bus driver was extremely safe and drove smoothly. Sue was definitely an excellent guide!
Great tour….beautiful sights and very informative. We especially enjoyed the glacier lake. Make sure to pack a lunch

Sam was a fantastic guide, keeping us entertained with stories throughout the whole tour. Even though it was raining most of the time, we were still able to enjoy all the breathtaking sights planned for us. Highly recommend, and bring an umbrella just in case!

We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our day guided by ‘Sam’. From start to finish she educated us on all aspects of Norwegian culture - the history- the culture- folklore- music- education system - nature and so much more. She was so personable and very entertaining and engaging. So easy to listen to and learn from. Best tour guide we have ever had in all our worldly travels. Thanks for the memories Sam!

Booked and paid in advance, excursion cancelled the day before! Without even an explanation, terrible! So at the last minute it became difficult to look for more!
