A great escape! The trip was appropriately graded: the hikes were just challenging enough to make it feel like we'd earned our suppers! The food, service and accommodation at Nes Gard were first class - well above expectations. Asbjorn, Mari and their staff were wonderful. Eric was a fantastic guide too. We enjoyed ourselves very much!

Walking the Fjords

I was extremely disappointed that the leader thought I was not fit enough to take part in the walks, without any justification.&nbsp; I would not have booked the holiday if I thought I was not fit enough, as it would be unfair on other guests and I would not have enjoyed that.&nbsp; I have been taking part in walking and other activity holidays for many years,&nbsp;and am well aware of my capabilities.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was not allowed to&nbsp;take part in the glacier walking trip,&nbsp;the main reason I booked the holiday - even though the guidebooks said there were trips for all levels of ability, and I have done glacier walking before.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have never enountered any problems before.&nbsp;
The stunning scenery.

See above.&nbsp; I was not given any opportunity to question his decisions.&nbsp; Being made to stay behind was very demoralising and embarassing.

The captain and expedition team really pushed the limits to ensure that we visited as many interesting places as possible and saw a wide range of scenery and ecosystems. The crew were very friendly and helpful, and the expedition team was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in both the Arctic and Antarctic. The ship was very comfortable with a fantastic library and other good facilities, and our cabin was wonderful - peaceful, comfortable and beautifully furnished.

Realm of the Polar Bear In Depth - M/V Greg Mortimer

A great week of hiking in a beautiful location with good accommodation and 
lovely food - and with great guides.  This is a full program with little 
'down time'.
The iconic views from the Molden peak with its stunning views of Sognefjord.


Asbjorn is an an exceptional guide and also a very nice man with so much 
knowledge and experience.  Sadly he is looking to retire which will be a 
shame to miss all of those stories, but he is currently training his 
replacement Lucas, who I think will make also make a great host/guide.  We 
found them both very helpful &amp; approachable as well as being very 
knowledgeable of their environment and locality.  An real asset to this trip.


Do not under-estimate this trip.  This is a hiking trip, not walking.  Many 
of the hikes are quite a bit longer than the notes imply and you will be 
expected to scramble a little as well as doing a lot of walking on very 
uneven ground.  This is all fine if you're used to this &amp; expecting it, but 
be warned.


Stay an extra night in Bergen, there is so much to see &amp; do there and the 
itinerary does not give anywhere near enough time there.

'Hiking in Norway', not 'Walking the Fjords'

Nes Gard Farm is a fantastic place. The meals were fresh, healthy, and 
delicious. Each day we traveled to a new location for hiking. The people in 
my tour group were great - 8 women and 3 couples. Everyone was game for 
adventure and being active. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and very 
personable.
The incredible landscape on every hike. It's too difficult to pick out one 
outstanding moment because each day presented a new aspect of Norway.


Group leaders were professional and attentive to individual needs.


Be prepared to hike on uneven terrain and smooth rock surfaces. Trails are 
steep and often slick. I was cardio fit but I did my conditioning on groomed 
trails. The glacier walk is very challenging. Gaitors are highly recommended 
to pants clean.


Do not go on the glacier walk if it's been raining.

The accommodation and the guides could not have been better.
Seeing everyone hiking up and down despite their ages.

We were picked up from the airport with no problem and taken to a very nice 
hotel (Thon Orion) in Bergen. The hotel puts on a free evening buffet type 
dinner which was perfectly adequate for us. The rooms were good, clean and 
comfy. Asbjorn owns the farm in Nes where we stayed, and he drove us there, 
quite a long journey but with plenty of stops. He was happy to tell us all 
about his country and Nes Gard. The accommodation was lovely, just across the 
road from the Fjord. My bed was amazingly comfortable, everywhere was 
spotless. Food was delicious. The walks were varied, not difficult if you're 
used to hiking. Some might find some of the walks a little challenging, as 
the terrain was often rocky, and steep in places. Some of the walks were 
there and back the same way which probably couldn't be helped, but it made me 
feel a little cheated.
I would say that it had to be our walk on the Glacier as it was something I'd 
never done before, I didn't know what to expect. We were given crampons and 
ice picks and roped together in groups of about 12, an experienced guide at 
the front, and off we went up the Glacier after being told how to walk in 
crampons of course. The blue of the Glacier was stunning, and looking down 
into crevices was beautiful. This is an optional extra of the holiday but 
well worth doing. Quite pricey at nearly £60.


Asbjorn took us on our 1st walk up to Molden Peak. He was great, very 
informative and knowledgeable . The rest of the week our guide was Inar who 
was also fantastic. He kept us safe, he knew what we were capable of and he 
had lots of stories to tell us which kept us amused. He's only a young lad 
but certainly knew what he was doing, he was a delight.


Most people know that Norway is expensive, but it still comes as quite a 
shock. If you like a beer to cool you down after a day out walking, take 
plenty of money. Half litre of lager is about £7.50 and a bottle of wine 
about £30.
Also it might be a good idea to take mosquito spray, we did encounter a few 
during the week.


I'm a Vegan, and my evening meals were fabulous.
