Wonderful experience sharing with the family/owners. Great transportation to and from the dock. Would have liked to spend days with the family.

Perfection just about sums it up. We booked the sleigh ride with tapas meal as a private excursion from our February 2023 Northern Lights cruise rather than the ship offered excursion, and we are so glad we did!!!! We expected a short sleigh ride and some nibbles. What we received was the warm hospitality of the owners themselves, a family on a true working farm, a beautiful sleigh ride through white snow with warm blankets, and a meal that words could do not justice. Fresh carved and prepared foods, home baked breads and treats and fresh seafood was only topped by the warmth of our hosts. The tour is offered with and without the food option but do yourselves the favor and go for the "tapas". I would have those "tapas" as my meal every week!!!!Fantastic experience from the moment we arrived. The farm has sheep and we got to meet a one week old lamb. The horses are gorgeous.

Fantastic experience from the moment we arrived. The farm has sheep and we got to meet a one week old lamb. The horses are gorgeous. Our hosts entirely generous with explanations about their farm and animals and the Norwegian farm life. The highlight was tapas prepared by our hosts - all homemade and beyond delicious. This was an experience of a lifetime and we were honored to spend our day this way.Fabulous sleigh ride it had just been snowing so it was even more magical. The hosts were amazing they took us through the woods then onto a lovely fire and a lovely meal. We were on a cruise in December 2022. It really was the highlight of our holiday.

The visit to the Omdal Gard was the highlight of our Norwegian cruise. Viggo and his family are charming and the most hospitable. We really got to know the family and the farm and were introduced to their valley where it seemed that no corner of the beautiful landscape escaped Viggo's knowledge. If you like horses, sheep, and serene rides through the mountain valley this is for you. The FOOD! It was outstanding. The best authentic food we had on our entire trip. Salmon, reindeer, home dried ham, local berries, and the list goes on. Would love to return in winter. Thank you Omdal's for such an amazing experience--Guy and Paul (USA)Ich wurde am Hafen abgeholt und wir fuhren zur Farm.

Ich wurde am Hafen abgeholt und wir fuhren zur Farm. Ich wurde äußerst freundlich auf der Schaafsfarm von der Familie begrüßt und herum geführt. Das Pferd von mehreren wurde in eine Kutsche (Herbst) gespannt und der Ranger und ich fuhren in Richtung River. Ein sehr toller Ausflug in herbstlichen Farben. Danach gab es im Tippi sehr leckere Speisen und Kaffee. Wir unterhielten uns über Land, Leute und Tiere. Ein wirklich schönes und ruhiges Erlebnis. Danke hierür!
