“It was a nice and steady boatride to lysefjord. They really get up close to the waterfall and into the robbers "cave" There are even some surprise animals to be seen. But i wont spoil the surprise ;) At the points of interest there was crew outside the on deck if you had any questions. The Spotify list of the captain is a bit questionable. But it made us laugh!”

“Barca molto bella e comoda, Bellissimo giro sui fiordi. L'autobus di ritorno ha la stessa compagnia di quello dell'andata e bisogna chiedere informazioni sugli orari di ritorno all'autista. Nel nostro caso c'erano solo due orari, 16 o 18, noi siamo riusciti a prendere il primo. Il percorso del trekking è ben segnalato e impossibile sbagliare strada.”

“We loved every moment. Erlend was the best guide we could ask for. He got in touch with us the day before the tour so that everything was covered from our gear to our dietary preferences. The first part of the trip - the cruise - was great. There were plenty of seats, great commentaries and the food too was satisfactory. Then Erlend was kind enough to pick up our lunch and druve us to the basecamp. Erlend had all the gears needed - poles, head lamps, backup hiking shoes, hot tea and so much more. He made sure no one was left behind and stayed calm with us. As…”
