“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Adventure Norway! The owner (Ewen) was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful from the very beginning. We had originally booked the Elg safari, but while we were on our way, we found out that we could not reach the location because a road had unexpectedly been closed. We called Adventure Norway, and although we were no longer able to join the Elg safari, the owner went above and beyond to think along with us and find a solution. Thanks to his help, we were able to see several moose in the wild the following day including a baby moose! It was such a magical and unforgettable experience, and we are incredibly grateful that he made this possible. We also decided to stay overnight in one of the cabins at the campsite, which turned out to be a fantastic choice. The cabin was in a perfect location with a beautiful view, surrounded by the stunning Norwegian nature. We were so happy we decided to spend the night there. The combination of the amazing hospitality, the beautiful location and seeing wild moose made this an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely recommend Adventure Norway to anyone visiting the area! Thank you so much for making our trip so special!”
“A stellar and memorable experience! My husband and I booked a via ferratta excursion with Adventure Norway and loved it. Adventure Norway is less than an hour from Mandal and Kristiansand by car, tucked away in the quiet countryside. Ewen was our guide; he’s kind, professional, and enthusiastic about what he does. Importantly, he ensured that safety was the first priority. He was attuned to our speed and comfort, and he adjusted when needed as we traversed the course. In addition to the basics, Ewen shared guidance on how to get through the more difficult parts of the course, some even with multiple options based on what we felt more comfortable with. With just my husband and me, we got to have a lovely conversation with Ewen; it felt as though we had made a new friend by the end. I recommend Adventure Norway without hesitation for outdoor fun in Norway. It’s an easy day trip from multiple locations, including Mandal and Kristiansand as mentioned, and it’s a fantastic way to escape the cities. The next time I visit Norway, I intend to book another adventure with them. Thank you so much for a very memorable day on our holiday!”
“Our stay was absolutely amazing. We ended up extending our trip because the beautiful surroundings, fantastic activities, and incredibly welcoming people made it impossible to leave. We went rafting and did a via ferrata, and both experiences were fantastic, we highly recommend them! Thank you so much for an unforgettable time. We can't wait to come back!”
“🌟🌟 Amazing first-timer rafting experience. Our guide Mathilde from Chile was an awesome instructor. Making it a fun and safe experience for both families, friends and children on the boat. You felt like you were in safe hands, and she gives clear instructions so the rafting goes well.”
