At FjordSafari, we offer nature experiences year-round, with each season revealing a new side of Norway’s stunning landscapes. Whether you're seeking adventure in the winter snow, springtime renewal, summer sunshine, or autumn colors, our tours give you the chance to experience the fjords and surrounding nature in every season.
Winter: FjordSafari, Cheese tasting, Viking dinner & Sauna
In the winter months, the fjords are transformed into a snow-covered wonderland. Join us for a FjordSafari Winter tour, where you’ll explore the beauty of the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, surrounded by frozen waterfalls and snow-capped peaks. For an even more memorable experience, upgrade to our FjordSafari Winter Taste tour, which includes a guided tasting of local goat cheese in the charming village of Undredal.
For those looking to combine adventure with a dining experience, our Winter FjordSafari & Ægir Viking dinner offer the best of both worlds. After your time on the fjords, enjoy a 5-course Viking Plank dinner at Ægir BrewPub, paired with local craft beers, rounding off your day with a hearty and satisfying meal.
For the ultimate winter experience, try Winter Magic in Flåm. This all-in-one package combines a Winter FjordSafari, a warm and hearty Viking Plank dinner at Ægir BrewPub, and a relaxing session in the floating FjordSauna. It’s a full day of adventure, local flavors, and pure relaxation – the perfect way to enjoy the best of Flåm during the winter season.
Spring: Fjordsafari, Snowshoeing Adventures & More
As the snow begins to melt and the days grow longer, spring is the perfect time to explore the fjords and mountains. We continue to offer our FjordSafari Winter and Winter Taste tours through the season, but for those seeking something different, we also introduce our Snowshoe Hike adventures:
Our popular snowshoe hikes begins with a scenic minibus ride along the Aurlandsfjord to the viewpoint Stegastein, perched 650 meters above sea level. After a short introduction to snowshoeing, you’ll set off on a 1.5-hour guided hike through the pristine landscape, learning about the local culture and history along the way. With stunning views of the fjord, Aurland, Flåm, and the surrounding white-capped peaks, it’s an experience that captures the magic of spring in the fjords. You'll have time to pause and enjoy hot beverages at the hike’s turning point before heading back.
Additionally, our Snowshoe Hike & Ægir Viking Dinner combines this snowy adventure with a delicious five-course meal, providing a complete day of exploration and local flavor.
Did you know that you could combine our FjordSafari Winter tours with the morning Snowshoe Hike? A perfect way to see the area in just one day!
Summer: Boat Tours, Hiking, Biking & More
Summer is the peak season for fjord exploration, and we offer a wide variety of tours that allow you to experience the fjord landscapes by boat, foot and wheels. Our FjordSafari and FjordSafari Extended boat tours depart daily from both Flåm and Aurland, taking you through the majestic fjords with knowledgeable guides sharing the history and culture of the area.
For those who love local tastes, our FjordSafari Taste and Gudvangen Taste tours feature a cheese-tasting stop, giving you a chance to sample the area’s culinary traditions.
We also offer daily hiking tours, along with customized and private tours tailored to your needs. You can hike along the Royal Postal Route by the Nærøyfjord, visit a mountain goat farm, explore local villages and stave churches, or something completely different. For thrill-seekers, we even offer tours that include ziplining and biking. Whatever your preference, we’re here to help you create a memorable summer adventure.
Autumn: Hiking, FjordSafari & More
Autumn brings a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere to the fjords as the crowds thin out and the landscape shifts to vibrant fall colors. Our FjordSafari boat tours continue through the season, allowing you to experience the fjords in their autumnal glory. We also continue to offer many of our hiking tours, including the popular Waterfall Hike & Stegastein:
The Waterfall Hike starts with a short drive to Aurland, where you’ll hike along an old farm path leading to Turlidfossen waterfall. In the spring and summer, the waterfall is often at its most powerful, fed by melting snow and ice, but in autumn, it offers a quieter, misty beauty. After a pause to enjoy the views, the hike continues up the mountainside to a small plateau, where you can take in breathtaking views of the fjord landscape.
Once the hike is complete, we continue up the Aurlandsfjellet mountain road to the Stegastein viewpoint, where panoramic views of the fjord await. This tour runs daily during both autumn and late spring, offering a perfect mix of hiking and sightseeing.
We also begin to offer our Fjordsafari & Ægir Viking Dinner package in the autumn months, providing guests with an Viking-inspired dining experience to complement their autumn adventures on the fjords.
