Incredible day touring from Haugesund

5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our tour guide was very informative and everyone (from age 5 to 77) enjoyed the entirety of the tour. The highlight was Kringsjå farm and the amazing host. The stories, apple cake, and feeding the sheep were all incredible — plus, our host reminded me of a young version of my (Norwegian) grandfather, which made the visit all the more special. Go! You won’t regret it.

5.00It was a wonderful experience although people should be made aware that the walk to the farm is quite tricky . A bit steep and slippery for those that are not very agile. But well worth it. Farmer Tom was very informative and amusing. We were celebrating our cousins 80th bday and he came out singing to her when we were having the tea with the best apple pie I’ve ever tasted. Feeding the sheep was a lot of fun. And I loved the sculptures of the men on horseback .
Beautiful highly recommended excursion!
