Itinerary

Set off on a scenic journey through the best of Norway, where tradition and modernity waltz hand in hand. Travel from Oslo to Bergen, uncovering the hidden gems of charming towns along the way and prepare to be awestruck by Norway’s natural beauty, twisting fjords, dazzling artistry and endearing culture.

Tour program

Day 1

Arrive Oslo

Welcome to Oslo, the capital city of Norway. Bordered on one side by serene blue waters and on the other an expansive mountain range; this compact, yet incredibly charming city will draw you in from the get-go. Renowned for its lush gardens, captivating museums and delectable culinary culture, Oslo will delight you in more ways than you expect.


We don’t want you to miss out on any aspect of your small group tour. To ensure that you don’t, we recommend you arrive at your starting destination by 2:00pm.


We’ll meet our fellow travellers and our tour director for a brief orientation before kickstarting our Oslo sightseeing at the fascinating Kon-Tiki Museum. Here we’ll uncover the life of Norwegian adventurer and scientist Thor Heyerdahl, who crossed the Pacific Ocean on the balsawood raft ‘Kon-Tiki’ in 1947. We’ll be able to marvel at the original vessel, as well as learning about his expeditions to Polynesia, Easter Island, the Galapagos and more through interesting exhibits.


Tonight, we will enjoy a delicious welcome dinner at a local restaurant.


(Dinner)

Start point

Thon Hotel Opera, Dronning Eufemias gate 4, Oslo, 0191, Norway

13:00 - 14:00

Day 2

Oslo

The city of Oslo was founded in around 1050 A.D. as a Viking settlement and evolved quickly from its medieval roots to become Norway’s capital city in 1299. The 19th century saw big developments for Oslo, expanding and embracing modernity, a lasting identity that managed to seamlessly intertwine with its long history.


This morning, we begin our city tour outside the award-winning Oslo Opera House. Completed in 2007 this impressive piece of modern architecture is home to the Norwegian Opera and Ballet. Its surrounding terraces offer some fantastic viewing platforms from which to take in Oslo and its surrounding fjord.


We then pass by the Royal Palace to the main street, Karl Johan’s gate. Named after King Charles III John, it stretches a kilometre from Oslo Central Station to the Royal Palace, lined with shops, cafes and historic buildings.


Continuing, we’ll head to Holmenkollbakken, the legendary ski jumping arena that’s been hosting competitions since the late 1800s. A great opportunity to soak in the views and learn all about Norway’s ski culture.


Our last stop will be a visit to Vigeland Park, the world's largest sculpture park by a single artist, Gustav Vigeland. There are more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron on display here.


The late afternoon is at leisure for you to explore at your own pace. During your free time, why not check out one of Oslo’s interesting museums? Perhaps a visit to the Norsk Folkemuseum or Fram Museum will be on your agenda today.


(Breakfast)

Day 3

Oslo – Lillehammer – Otta

This morning we make our way to Lillehammer, a charming ski-resort town that gained international fame as the host of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. Situated in the heart of Norway and just north of Oslo, Lillehammer’s unique combination of culture and historical significance make it a joy to explore. Since 2017, it has been recognised as a UNESCO City of Literature, and it’s in Lillehammer that the Norwegian Festival of Literature takes place—the largest of its kind in Scandinavia.


Whilst here, we will explore the Norwegian Olympic Museum, a contemporary museum where we’ll uncover Olympic history from ancient times to the present day. We’ll also explore the fascinating Maihaugen, one of the oldest open-air museums in Europe. Here we will get the opportunity to see more than 200 historic houses than span from the 13th century to now, giving us an authentic insight into the Norwegian culture and of course, its rich heritage. A visit to Maihaugen is often described as a travelling back in time—ready to hop into the time machine?


We’ll then take the famous Peer Gynt Road and travel through the mythical ‘kingdom of trolls’. This 60-kilometre route runs from Skei to Espedalen and is the main mountain road through the stunning Gudbrandsdalen Valley. Be sure to look out the window as we’ll be greeted with magical panoramic views of Norway’s beautiful countryside.


In the early evening, we’ll arrive in Otta, our beautiful home for the night. This tiny, albeit incredibly charming town, is situated at the junction of Gudbrandsdalslågen and Otta rivers and is surrounded by dense forests and jugged mountains.


(Breakfast, Dinner)

Day 4

Otta – Dovrefjell - Sunndalsfjella National Park – Molde

We spend the morning driving through the Norwegian countryside as we make our way to Åndalsnes, home to enchanting vistas and cozy cafes galore! Once you step off the coach, wander through the beautiful streets and treat yourself to a local snack for lunch. Next, prepare yourself for an extraordinary delight — a full-spectrum sensory feast awaits us aboard the Golden Train!


Special Experience

Board the Rauma Railway, one of Norway’s most scenic train journeys, and marvel at the dramatic natural landscapes passing by.


Named Europe’s most beautiful railway line (and used as a backdrop for blockbusters like Harry Potter and Mission: Impossible), this nearly two-hour train journey will put us front-row centre to Norway’s postcard-perfect scenery. While we will not be crossing paths with Tom Cruise here, we will be left captivated by steep peaks, serene rivers and charming rustic villages. Snap photos of the iconic Kylling Bridge and watch waterfalls cascade from mighty cliffs as we sit back, soak up the rolling scenery and experience the joy of slow travel.


In the early evening, we’ll arrive in the quaint city of Molde, a small coastal town on the west coast of Norway. It’s affectionately referred to as the ‘City of Roses’ for its abundance of beautiful rose gardens, and it’s also home to the world’s oldest jazz festival, hosting hundreds of jazz enthusiasts from far and wide every summer. The night is for you to enjoy at leisure.


(Breakfast)

Day 5

Molde – Atlantic Road – Ålesund

This morning we depart beautiful Molde and wind our way to Ålesund, first travelling on one of Norway’s most scenic routes, the Atlantic Road. On the Atlantic Road, we’ll travel from Bud to Kristiansund. This special stretch of road hugs the ocean’s edge and is considered to be one of the most beautiful drives in the world. Built to connect Averøy to the mainland, this 8-kilometre road will take us over pretty islands, islets and reefs. Make sure your camera is charged and you are seated next to a window!


Famous for its Art Nouveau architecture painted in delightful pastel hues, Ålesund is considered the cultural centre of the Sunnmøre region and it’s not hard to understand why. Nestled along the water's edge, this compact town is framed by the majestic Alps in the backdrop and is a totally unique destination to visit. Ålesund is frequently referred to as Norway’s most pretty town!


We’ll arrive in Ålesund in the afternoon, where the remainder of the day is free for you to explore this lovely town at your own pace. You may want to make the walk up to the Aksla Viewpoint for incredible panoramic vistas over the coastal town below.


(Breakfast)

Day 6

Ålesund – Trollstigen Road – Geiranger

A slow morning spent in Ålesund is on the agenda today, where you can soak in the vibes of this delightful little spot. Perhaps you want to learn more about the city’s history at The Art Nouveau Centre & the Art Museum, or just take it easy strolling along the quaint streets. The choice is yours!


Later on, we’ll set off to our next destination Geiranger, taking the scenic Trollstigen Road. One of Norway’s top driving experiences and most famous routes, this mountain pass is home to windy roads that zig-zag their way around spectacular mountains. It loosely translates into English as ‘The Troll’s Path’, linking Åndalsnes with the Valldal Valley and Geiranger. We’ll stop at beautiful look-out points along the way, so make sure you keep your cameras handy!


After taking a short ferry trip, our drive continues along the iconic Ørnevegen, also known as Eagle’s Road. This road was officially opened in 1955 and gave the village of Geiranger year-round access, allowing the town to develop quicker over the years. This steep stretch of road was given its name because its highest point passed through a terrain traditionally inhabited by a large number of eagles!


We’ll enjoy the road’s magnificent fjord and mountain views before our arrival at Geiranger in the late afternoon.


(Breakfast, Dinner)

Day 7

Geiranger

Welcome to Geiranger, one of the most beautiful villages in all of Norway. Beckoning with its magic natural landscapes, the area is known for its towering mountains, cascading waterfalls like the Seven Sisters and dazzling blue waters of the Geirangerfjord—which is often referred to as the ‘jewel in Norway’s crown of fjords’, and there’s good reason for it!


Our day is dedicated to seeing the sites in and around Geiranger. We begin at Dalsniba, experiencing the magic of the Geiranger Skywalk. Giving you the sensation of floating, the skywalk’s clear floor allows you to see 500 metres below into the fjord.


Next we stop in the village of Lom to view the Lom Stave Church, one of the biggest and most beautiful in Norway. Built in the mid-12th century, this iconic church is incredibly well-preserved and acts as a fantastic example of medieval-stave churches. Interestingly, despite its ancient age, it is still an active parish!


After lunch we continue to Klimapark 2469, an outdoor discovery centre with a focus on climate history, hunting traditions, geology and biology. With an experienced guide, we’ll take a unique tour across the Juvflye route, situated at the foot of the Galdhøpiggen mountain. This 2-kilometre walk is full of educational information displays, and at the end of the walkway is the man-made Juvfonne Ice Tunnel that will see us walking 70 metres into 7000-year-old ice.


Special Experience

Step back in time to the Stone Age, descending into an ice tunnel to marvel at 7000-year-old ice at Kilmapark 2469.


We’ll drive back to Geiranger this afternoon and enjoy dinner at the hotel tonight.


Challenging Day

Today is a particularly challenging day, where there will be extended periods of walking time, often across uneven ground and in areas of high altitude or heat and humidity.


We’ll drive back to Geiranger this afternoon and enjoy dinner at the hotel tonight.


(Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Day 8

Geiranger – Loen - Sognefjord

We start our day with an incredible cruise down the famous Geirangerfjord, cruising between Geiranger and Hellesylt. A UNESCO Heritage-listed Site that frequents travellers’ bucket-lists; the Geirangerfjord is cocooned by steep mountains, azure waters and small farms that cling to the mountain’s sides. We’ll also marvel at the Knivsflå waterfalls, which are more commonly referred to as the ‘Seven Sisters’ and ‘the Suitor’ waterfalls—these are some of the most photographed in the whole of Norway!


Our journey then takes us to the small village of Loen, where we’ll go from fjord to mountain on the impressive Loen Skylift. We will board one of the steepest cable cars in the world and ascend over 1-kilometre almost straight up Mount Hoven, enjoying spectacular views of the landscape below. At the top, we’ll indulge in a delicious three-course lunch at Hoven Restaurant, complete with locally sourced ingredients. This unique eatery is situated on the edge of the cliffside and boasts panoramic views of the fjord landscapes below—this is definitely not your average lunch!


We continue on to our next destination, winding our way past the stunning Stryn and Loen Vatn lakes. We’ll make a photo stop at Bøyabreen Glacier viewpoint, taking in the vistas of the incredible fjord up close, before making our way to Sognefjord.


(Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Day 9

Sognefjord – Flam – Stalheim

Wake up in Leikanger, a stunning little town nestled on the shores of Sognefjord. Known for its natural beauty, Leikanger offers a captivating blend of fjords, mountains, and lush greenery. This morning, we’ll make our way to the village of Flåm via the Lærdal Tunnel for our first activity of the day! As we make our way through the tunnel, you’ll notice the tunnel walls lit up beautifully, giving the illusion of gliding through a sparkling iceberg.


Special Experience

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise through the beautiful Nærøyfjord, marvelling at the scenery as you journey from Flåm to Gudvangen.


In Flåm, we’ll board a first-class electric vessel and enjoy a stunning 'silent' cruise along the Nærøyfjord to Gudvangen, a small town located at the end of the Nærøyfjord where the Nærøydalselvi River empties into the fjord. The fjord itself is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed Site, due to the exceptional natural beauty stemming from the narrow and steep-sided crystalline rock walls that rise up 1,400 metres from the Norwegian Sea and extend 500 metres below sea level. It is amongst the world’s longest and deepest fjords and has many waterfalls, free-flowing rivers, forests, and glaciers.


After our scenic cruise, we’ll delight in an unforgettable lunch at Flåm Fjord Farm, enjoying a unique farm-to-table experience here. Just a short distance from the town centre, this beautiful historic farm is tucked away in the fjord, offering a serene escape that feels like a world of its own. Leaning into its strong Norwegian tradition, we’ll dive into the country’s culinary heritage and taste its unique flavours and dishes—rustic style!


We’ll then make our way to Flåm Station, where we’ll take a stunning train ride from Flåm to Myrdal. Travelling the return journey on the Flåmsbana back to Flåm, be sure not to miss any of the amazing vistas on offer. Said to be one of the greatest engineering feats in Norway, the Flåm Railway is a 20-kilometre track that runs past trickling waterfalls, imposing mountains, and bright fjords—a total feast for the eyes!


Travelling through the Nærøy Valley to our hotel, we will stop for an amazing photo opportunity looking down the valley, a true highlight for all travellers when visiting western Norway.


(Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Day 10

Stalheim – Bergen

Today our eyes are set on reaching the beautiful town of Bergen. We’ll start the day off by driving to Ulvik, a peaceful town set amongst steep mountains and lush orchards. While here, we will enjoy a tour of the Hardanger Factory and Cider Farm, a local farm that produces highly acclaimed apple-based products. We’ll also have some free time to explore the idyllic town.


Next, we will drive to Hardanger Akvasenter Salmon Farm, stopping for a photo at the Hardanger Bridge en route, one of the world’s longest suspension bridges. This unique place is an informative visitor centre for aquaculture and includes interactive exhibitions about the life cycle of salmon and a floating salmon farm that’s in full production on the Hardangerfjord. We’ll also delight in a delicious lunch at this unique location!


We’ll make a photo stop at the impressive Steinsdal Waterfall, where we have the opportunity to walk behind the falls themselves—without getting wet, of course! The waterfall has a 50-metre drop which makes for a fantastic picture. Continuing on, we’ll reach Bergen in the late afternoon and enjoy the evening at leisure to explore this exciting, yet super cosy, city at our own pace.


(Breakfast, Lunch)

Day 11

Bergen

The enchanting coastal city of Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains and seven fjords, making it a totally unique location to explore. Norway’s second largest city, Bergen is home to colourful historic buildings that reflect traditional Norwegian architecture. Bergen offers a delightful blend of vibrant culture, rich history and incredible natural wonders—the absolute jackpot for any keen traveller. They say Bergen captures the very essence of Norway, and we’re about to see why—we’re in store for a real treat!


We begin our morning with a walking tour of Bergen, exploring the must-see sites of this pretty city. First, we head to the UNESCO Heritage-listed Bryggen Quarter to marvel at the photogenic traditional houses that hug the Hanseatic wharf—a recognisable symbol of not only Bergen, but Norway as a whole. Once a place of trade for thousands of years, Bryggen is now home to local artisans and traders! We’ll then continue on with a visit St Mary’s Church, the oldest building in Bergen, before exploring the fish market that is situated on the banks of the stunning wharf.


The afternoon is at leisure for you to explore at your own pace, perhaps you’ll choose to ascend Mt Floien or visit Troldhaugen, the former home of composer Edvard Grieg. We’ll meet up again this evening at Bergen pier and journey to our dinner location in Holmen on a stunning cruise. We will delight in a farewell dinner at one of Bergen’s most loved (and delicious!) restaurants.


(Breakfast, Dinner)

Day 12

Our tour concludes after breakfast this morning. We bid farewell to our new friends and to the wonders of beautiful Norway.

if you have not commenced your trip then we regret we will not be in a position to provide such assistance.

We will not be liable to refund the cost of your trip (or any part of it) because we would have already paid (or committed to pay) suppliers and we would have already performed significant work preparing for the delivery of your trip and servicing your booking. 

­ 

We will not be responsible for any other loss or loss you incur in connection with your booking (for example, airfares and visa expenses) if you are prevented from commencing or continuing your trip in these circumstances.

­ 

CANCELLATIONS OR RESCHEDULING BY US

In these Booking Conditions, the term Force Majeure means an event or events beyond our control and which we could not have reasonably prevented, and includes but is not limited to: (a) natural disasters (including not limited to flooding, fire, earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption), adverse weather conditions (including hurricane or cyclone), high or low water levels; (b) war, armed conflict, industrial dispute, civil strife, terrorist activity or the threat of such acts; epidemic, pandemic; (d) any new or change in law, order, decree, rule or regulation of any government authority (including travel advisories and restrictions).

­ 

Force Majeure – Prior to travel

­ 

If in our reasonable opinion we (either directly or through our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents) consider that your travel arrangements cannot safely or lawfully proceed due to a Force Majeure Event then we at our discretion may elect to:

­ 

reschedule your travel arrangements (in whole or in part); and/or

cancel your travel arrangements (in whole or in part), in which case our contract with you will terminate (in whole or in part).

If we cancel any of your travel arrangements, neither of us will have any claim for damages against the other for the cancelled arrangements. However, we will refund payments attributable to the cancelled travel arrangements less: (a) unrecoverable third party costs and other expenses incurred by us for the cancelled travel arrangements; (b) overhead charges incurred by us relative to the price of the cancelled travel arrangements; and (c) fair compensation for work undertaken by us in relation to the cancelled travel arrangements until the time of cancellation and in connection with the processing of any refund.

­ 

Force Majeure – General

­ 

If we provide you with any alternative services or assistance where travel arrangements are cancelled or rescheduled due to Force Majeure, then you agree the amount to be refunded to you will be reduced by the value of these services and assistance.

­ 

You acknowledge that the terms in this section are reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate business interests. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance that adequately responds to cancellation and rescheduling risks associated with Force Majeure events.

­ 

Other cancellations

­ 

If we cancel your travel arrangements for reasons other than Force Majeure, you will be offered (at your election) a refund of all funds paid, or the offer of a trip of substantially equal quality if appropriate.

We will endeavour to accommodate amendments and additional requests. You acknowledge that these may not be possible to fulfil, and for group departures a transfer of a booking to a different departure is deemed a cancellation. An amendment fee of $250.00 per booking will be levied to cover communication and administration costs for any changes to bookings. You will also be required to pay any additional costs charged by suppliers.

­ 

AMENDMENTS BY US

Prior to travel

­ 

Occasionally, we may need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this. If we become aware of a significant change to your itinerary or its inclusions prior to the commencement of your trip (where the trip can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time.

­ 

During travel

­ 

You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the trip’s inclusions may need to change during your trip due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including road conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, and/or vehicle breakdowns. You agree that we have the right to pass on any costs we incur for alternative arrangements we put in place for your benefit in these circumstances.

­ 

General

­ 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible for any omissions or modifications to the itinerary or the inclusions due to Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond our control happening after we have accepted your booking. This includes any loss of enjoyment or distress caused by omissions or modifications.

­ 

If you are entitled to any compensation for any modifications or omissions, then you agree it will be reduced by the value of any alternative services we provide which you accept. 

­ 

We will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from any amendment or change to the itinerary or its inclusions. 

­ 

UNUSED & DENIED SERVICES

No refunds will be made for any travel arrangements not utilised, whether by choice or because of late arrival or early departure. This includes the failure of transport to operate according to schedule, which we disclaim responsibility for.

­ 

If you are not fully and validly vaccinated against Covid-19 in the destination(s) where services are to be provided, and particular suppliers refuse to provide you with travel arrangements, then you agree you will not be entitled to any refund for those arrangements. We will not be responsible to you for any loss or expenses you incur (including loss of enjoyment or the costs of alternative arrangements) if you are denied services in these circumstances.

­ 

CLIENT NAMES – EXACTLY AS PER PASSPORT

For security reasons, airlines and our overseas suppliers require names to be given exactly as stated in your passport. If you do not advise the correct information and we have to re-issue airline tickets or other documentation, then you will be responsible for any fees charged (such as airline cancellation charges or re-issue fees) in addition to our own reasonable administration fees.

­ 

TRAVEL INSURANCE

It is a condition of your booking that you are adequately insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. This is because cancellation fees and charges are payable from that time.

­ 

ACCOMMODATION

We reserve the right to substitute hotels, vessels and other forms of accommodation with properties or vessels of a comparable or higher standard.

­ 

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Special dietary requests are required to be notified to us at the time of booking. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee requests will be met by suppliers. It is your responsibility to check that meals and beverages do not contain any allergens. We expressly disclaim any liability for meals or beverages that contain allergens.

­ 

PASSPORTS, VISAS

It is a requirement that you hold a valid passport and any required visas for your trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the necessary documentation to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries to be visited.

­ 

AUTHORITY ON TOUR

When joining a group tour, you undertake to conduct yourself in a manner conducive to good group dynamics. If you act in a manner that threatens or disrupts the safety or enjoyment of others on the tour, the tour leader may, acting reasonably, require that you leave the tour. You will not be entitled to any refund for unused services and you will be responsible for any additional costs you incur.

­ 

VACCINATIONS

In some countries, it may be mandatory for you to be fully and validly vaccinated against COVID-19 with a vaccine approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. 

­ 

If you fail to provide evidence of vaccination by the time required, then you acknowledge and agree that this will be deemed a cancellation by yourself. Please refer to the “Cancellation by You” section above.

­ 

It is your responsibility to obtain vaccinations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the trip. Any information provided by us is given in good faith.

FITNESS TO TRAVEL DECLARATION

At Bunnik Tours, we pride ourselves on our ability to create unique, once in a lifetime small group tours that are filled with incredible experiences you might not be able to have on your own, or in a larger group. However, that does mean aspects of our itineraries can be challenging for some travellers.

­ 

We want to make sure all Bunnik Tours travellers enjoy their trip, not struggle through it, so let’s work together to ensure you’re on the right tour for your fitness level.

­ 

A Bunnik Tour is for independently minded travellers with good levels of mobility. Designed for the not too young and not too old, we don’t put specific age limits on our tours but we do impose a firm policy on the level of fitness required by all our clients. This is to ensure your safety, and the safety of other travellers. Because of this, we reserve the right to refuse bookings if we feel that the requirements of the tour are too demanding.

­ 

Fitness to Travel Requirements

­ 

Within seven days of your booking, you will need to complete a Passenger Registration form, which also includes a fitness to travel declaration.

­ 

In this declaration, you must confirm you’re able to do the following:

­ 

Walk for a minimum of 2-3 hours daily, on uneven surfaces without the use of any walking aid at a group pace (often in humid forest areas in Africa and South & Central America)

Regularly walk up multiple flights of stairs and short, steep hills

Stand for extended periods of time without needing to sit down, including in hot/humid climates

Carry your own luggage

Get on and off various modes of transport without assistance, including small boats

Drive along very bumpy, dirt and gravel roads for extended period of time, particularly in Africa

Manage extended periods of time at high altitude (3,000-4,000 metres) when travelling in Africa and South & Central America.

It is also important to note there can be limited medical facilities in remote areas.

­ 

While we will still confirm your place on your tour, flight tickets cannot be issued until the Passenger Registration form has been received. Additional costs may be incurred if completed forms are not received by Bunnik Tours within these time frames.

­ 

If you do not feel that you can confidently manage all of the requirements set out above, please work with our team of Travel Specialists to find an alternative that is better suited to your current level of fitness.

­ 

Travelling With a Medical Condition

­ 

Passengers must inform us and the service provider of any medical conditions which may affect your ability to participate in the tour.

­ 

At our discretion we, including the service provider, can exclude you from a tour or in any activity if we consider that you are unable to safely participate in that tour or activity or if we consider your participation may place the safety of other guests at risk. 

­ 

We reserve the right to cancel your booking if any changed or non-disclosed medical conditions mean that you will require special assistance from our personnel which we cannot reasonably provide. We strongly suggest that your travel insurance policy includes comprehensive cancellation coverage.

­ 

We will not be liable for any damage, injury, death or loss of any kind arising from your failure to fully disclose relevant medical information or resulting from any pre-existing medical condition.

­ 

­
