Norway travel advice
Freewheeling all day long
“Biking in the fjord landscape, you see spectacular waterfalls, green-blue fjords and high mountains covered with snow, changing side on the fjords with local ferries - which cyclists like! Rallarvegen is Norway’s most popular cycling route, from arctic mountain nature across the Hardangervidda National Park to the verdant Flåmsdalen valley – which has a lot of waterfalls – and the wild west coast.
You ride from the highest point (1,222m) down to zero! In northern Norway in summer, the sun never goes down! So you have light both day and night to see towering mountains, ocean vistas and thousands of islands. The landscape along the coast is easy to cycle - the highest points are often the bridges you pass over!”

So what time is it?
Andrew Appleyard from our supplier Exodus has Norway travel advice about the unique hours and conditions visitors may find themselves keeping at different times of the year: “The Northern Lights are a magical experience that one never tires of - but bear in mind you will be in virtual total darkness during the winter months up to at least January 26. In complete contrast, our summer voyages to the Arctic are in 24 hours of daylight! This makes for stunning wildlife viewing – but expect to get woken up at 3am if we see polar bears on the horizon or a pod of whales emerging from the bows of the ship.”A secret enclave
Charles Wara from our supplier Aurora Borealis shares his Norway travel advice on a sometimes overlooked part of the country: “The eastern part of the county of Finnmark is a very under-rated region. It's a perfect area for winter activities like cross-country skiing and the Northern Lights, while in spring, summer and autumn it's great for bird watching, hiking and fishing. There's plenty to do and see.”Our top Norway Vacation

Tips from our travelers in Norway
We have selected some of the most useful Norway travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your vacation - and the space inside your suitcase.


“Listen to your guide - they know what they are talking about and are responsible for the safety of you and the rest of the group - don't wander off.” – Julie Davis
“Bring warm clothes - even in summer. The temperature can go from being really quite warm when the sun is out to being pretty cold when it isn't!” – Mark Heron
"Don't set your heart on seeing anything specific. Be prepared for the changes in weather. It's not as challenging as I expected - to take account of the huge spectrum of ages and abilities. But most of all HAVE FUN!" – Lisa Thomas
"Try and keep a spare night free in case you fail to see lights the first time you try" – Amandeep Manget


"If you want good photographs make sure you have a camera with long range focus as you are often at a distance from wildlife so as not to disturb them" – Susie Barrett
"Go for it! The weather was sunny on 4/6 days and temps varied between 10-25 degrees. As long as you remember to take warm clothes and waterproofs, there is no problem. The adventure will be one of my most memorable vacations" – Sally Sheppard
