Beautiful hike with an amazing guide - Østein was a wonderful guide with great stories to tell. The hike was absolutely beautiful, with even an amazing extra drive to the Steindalsfossen because we were ahead of time.

Don’t Miss This! - Don’t miss this! I rarely write reviews and wanted to for this. I took my 15-year-old daughter with me and it was absolutely gorgeous. We only saw one other person on the trail. Worth every nickel for our guide and being away from bust Bergen 😊

Perfect group hike - I had a great time. The guide was great, chose where to go based on weather and best views. I was solo and they took photos of me and pointed out the good spots. Small group as well which made it better as you were able to get to know each other and set a good pace. We finished a bit earlier and we were taken to another spot to view the waterfall - really a great day out and would recommend using the team

A great day - My husband and I really enjoyed the hiking tour with guides Ole and Øystein. They took our group of seven (I think it was) to a location about 45 minutes drive from Bergen. As we climbed up into the hills the guides were happy to stop so we could look at and taste various wild berries (e.g. blueberry, ligonberry, etc), which was fun.
Both guides spoke excellent English and were very knowledgeable about the area and were also happy to share information about life in Norway.
Our group members had various fitness levels so after a while Ole and Øystein offered two options if our group wanted to consider splitting. One option was to go at a slower pace and walk to a lower scenic location, and the other option was to go faster and higher. My husband and I plus one other group member opted for the faster, higher walk.
Ole led the way on that option and bounded along. It was a strenuous walk but the view from the top was well and truly worth the effort. We stopped at the top for lunch and Ole brought out some Norwegian snacks to complement our own packed lunches, which was a nice touch.
The atmosphere on the hike was friendly, relaxed and informative. All in all it was a great day and one of the highlights of our time in Norway.

Amazing hike and hospitality - Had an surreal experience climbing Mt Hananipa with our amazing guide Øystein. Very hospitable and extremely knowledge about Bergen and hiking in general. Nothing beats exploring nature and have great conversation while doing it. Took great candid pictures of me and my partner at viewpoints and offered us some reindeer sausages and coffee once we reached the summit. We unfortunately didn’t get a good view from the top because of the weather so Øystein took us to another location where to climbed behind a waterfall and then even higher for an amazing view of the valley and the surrounding area. Would highly recommend this tour and ask for Øystein!.These connections with people are what make the trip worth it’s while.

Stunning experience - the stillness of nature at your footsteps - The hike was incredible. We were taken to a beautiful spot just 45 minutes outside of Bergen. The hike was 5 hours or so, but very manageable with a basic level of fitness. You meet beautiful souls in the fellow hikers, see the most stunning, still nature where very few other people venture, and get great support from the guides. Hugely recommend!

Amazing fjord hike in Bergen - Me and my mom did this amazing hike with our wonderful local guide Normann. Truly an unforgetable and amazing expirience! The views are amazing and the whole hike was the perfect length. We were picked up from the harbour in Bergen and returned to the same spot. Normann was such a sweet guide providing us with interesting information about the Bergen region. Truly recommend for everyone!
