The hike was awesome! Trail was not difficult. The view was spectacular. Frank, our guide, was great.

This experience was excellent! The guide was extremely knowledgeable (a real hiker not just a guide!) and kept interesting conversations flowing along the way while leading such a beautiful hike. The Norwegian snacks at the viewpoint on top were also great to try in nature. I would recommend to any visitors seeking an active tour of the region. Thank you!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 ...
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!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.

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.Had an surreal experience climbing Mt Hananipa with our amazing guide Øystein.

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.Me and my mom did this amazing hike with our wonderful local guide Normann.

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!
