Such an incredible and amazing trip! The process of planning was easy from start to finish. I really feel like Kadri and team listened to what I wanted and created the perfect itinerary. I loved how easy it was for them to work with me to change and move things around to ensure I had the trip of my dreams. Once there, it was nice to have them check in to ensure everything was going smoothly and to have someone to reach out to at any point for anything. I could not have asked for a better experience or more perfect trip! Thanks!!

Trolltunga Hotel
Odda

It was a nice hotel; however it was at the very top of the hill and away from everything so if you wanted to go to the grocery store or a restaurant, you had to walk down hill (~20-30 min) and then back up. The rooms were comfy but small and there was no wifi in the rooms. The breakfast was basic and minimal.

Overnight Hike in Trolltunga
Odda

Such a cool and unique experience glamping. The "beds" (aka sleeping bags) are all lined up 5-6 on a raised wooden platform so it was a little 'weird' sleeping that close to strangers. It was very comfortable and warm though and you cannot beat the views!

The food and experience was amazing. The only "negative" is that you're at the pace of other diners while eating and there is only one boat back so you are essentially "stuck" there until the boat comes back. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing

The experience was good, don't know if it was for me. I preferred the kayaking as a way to see the fjords. The guides were amazing and they provide you with gear to keep you warm and dry.

Such an awesome experience! Beautiful view from the sauna and you get a natural cold plunge jumping into the fjord. Love the experience!

It was nice. I thought we were going to be able to get closer to the glacier than we did (though, I understand why). It was nice that wet suits and gloves/booties were provided. The scenery was nice; however if I had known that glacier hike was an option, I probably would have chosen that instead.

My all time favorite activity that I did here! Could not have asked for a better experience. Sleeping in the yurts on the top was amazing. Delicious dinner and breakfast provided. It was so nice being up there after all the day hikers left and essentially having the mountain to yourself. And seeing the stars and milky way were unforgettable. I loved doing the via ferrata up and hiking down. 10/10 experience

This hike is NO JOKE! One of the hardest hikes I think I've done to date (and I'm an avid hiker and pretty active). The landscape was amazing and gorgeous. We had pretty much all elements of weather. It was a little slick which definitely added to the challenge.

Such a nice hike. Our guide took us on a different trail up which was nice as we a) got to see more things and b) avoided the crowds. He was great about taking photos and knowing the good angles and poses.
