Creator's Key Takeaways

The views are gorgeous, so even if you don't fish, the boat ride alone is enough reason to join the tour.

The colors, the views, everything lived up to the expectations and it was truly one of the best memories and highlights of our entire 3-week trip.

This hike was so hyped up, but it fully lived up to the hype and is one of our favorite and most memorable hikes.

We are so lucky. Wow.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Plan buffer traveling time for scenic stops, slower driving speeds, and the occasional sheep on the road.
✓Be flexible and willing to change plans based upon the weather.
✓Bring rain boots; they are essential in these places with cold weather beaches.
✓Bring a lot of memory cards because you're going to be taking a picture every second.
✓Pack a good hearty lunch for long hikes.
✓Bring trekking poles, especially on Lefotan's steep trails.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Driving in Norway — The speed is constantly changing and roads are narrow; take it slow and be prepared for sheep on the road.
Cold weather — It is colder than expected, even in summer; layer up with fleece and raincoats.
Fear of heights on hikes — Know your limits; there are extreme drop-offs on some trails, so stop at viewpoints if needed.
Getting stuck on a remote island — Be mindful of ferry schedules; the last boat can be very late (e.g., 11 p.m.).
