Magical horse sleigh trip

5.00We were collected near our cruise ship with another couple. Driven by one of the daughters to their family farm. The 4 of us got in a wooden horse drawn sleigh. The other daughter took us for a lovely ride through the snow, around their farm. We then went in a Sami style tent for a tapas meal. The food was great, salmon, reindeer, cheese, cloudberry chutney etc. Then we went to see the horses and sheep. They love to be stroked. Through the whole trip we heard about local life, which was interesting. We were then driven back to the port. This is a fantastic trip that we didn’t want to end. The family are lovely and welcoming. They only take small groups, just the 4 of us that day, which was great. Our favourite trip of the holiday.
Great sleigh ride

5.00Our first trip for our first full day in all tar. Fantastic hosts in a fantastic landscape this trip is ideal for families who wish to experience Norway. The drive out to the farm was incredibly insightful and we got to see beautiful landscapes Fields and some lost reindeer. The slave ride was incredibly peaceful and relaxing and we had wonderful photos with beautiful horses. It was great to go around the farm and in the barn to see the sheep and the other animals as well as their barn cat. I hosts put on a fantastic lunch made up of local foods have lovely drunks in front of a lovely hot fire. It was exciting to hear about the wildlife around and the industry of farming knowing that links and Eagles are around us on the mountain Side. This trip is ideal for young families who wish to experience norway living and meet wonderful people as well as taste wonderful food.
Unforgettable experience

5.00From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and met the horses that would be pulling our wagon, they were very friendly and gorgeous! We got into the wagon and had blankets to sit on and to put over your lap, we set off and had a lovely ride around the woods, it was just getting dark and the colours in the sky were great. We got back to the farm and went into the tent, which had an open fire and was lovely and warm. We were given a plate of different foods to try and had water, tea and coffee. We then went into the barn to meet the other horses and some naughty shetlands! We also met the sheep and a lovely cat! The minibus picks you up from the ship and drops you back again. It’s a great experience, one I won’t forget and I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic authentic Norwegian experience 👏

5.00Excellent pick up and journey from the port, to Viggo's family farm. Really relaxing experience, beautiful scenery, comfortable carriage ride, very tasty food and wonderful company talking with Annika and Viggo about their family life on the farm. It was a small group of 7 people so it was personal and friendly. Loved meeting the animals and talking with the family. After 2.5hrs Viggo drove us back to the port, even took a longer route to share some local history and sing us a Norwegian song. Fantastic insight into Norwegian life with such a nice welcoming family. Would recommended this experience to everyone. Thanks Viggo and Annika for an unforgettable memory x
