Creator's Key Takeaways

If Olden is on your Norwegian Fields cruise, you're in for a treat.

Kayaking on the fjord is absolutely stunning and we cannot recommend it more.

If you want the classic glacia day, Brickto is the one.

If you want massive views with minimal effort, learn Skyift is hard to beat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go with the troll car for minimal effort and classic views.
✓Choose the shuttle bus for more flexibility and hiking.
✓Check the weather before visiting Loen Skylift.
✓Wear proper shoes for the Briksdal Glacier hike.
✓Don't panic if you're a beginner at kayaking; it's guided.
