★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 55 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $82

Guided 1.5-hour minibus tour of Haugesund highlights, from Harald Fairhair to Steinsfjellet views and the Rising Tides sculptures.

“We had booked months ago for a 10.30am start, with instructions to arrive 10 mins before departure time. On arrival at 10am we were the last on the bus as apparently. They had sent two emails and tried to phone us to advise of an earlier start time of 10am!!! No email or missed calls received. Anyway lucky we are always early and made it on the trip. Interesting history on our journey around. Three stops at viewpoints and sites. Aporox 10 mins at each. Nice short trip to get a feel for the town.”

The farm was very interesting. The young lady in costume that was our guide there was very knowledgeable about Viking life. We found the visit to Viking planet to be very informative. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures with a green screen that turned us into Vikings. Would recommend this if you want to understand the Viking history and lifestyle.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 18 reviews · 5 hours · from $249Top rated

Guided hike from Haugesund cruise pier to Himakånå for fjord views, a matpakke picnic, and local stories.

“We found the hike to be a little much. We all made it to the top, but it was much more the a moderate hike. Our guides were wonderful, one stayed with us (the slow ones) he even carried my day pack for a little while. The view was wonderful and worth the trek, but a better description is needed. It is virtually up hill the entire way, it is very steep in our opinion. The vans we rode in were very nice, the lunch they provided was good, the chocolates melted before we eat it at the top. It was very warm the day of our hike. A hand…”
