2.Atlantic Ocean Road & Varden Audio Guide Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 473 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $93

Ride from Molde to the Atlantic Ocean Road, stopping at Eldhusøya before following the Hustadvika Coast back to Varden Viewpoint. An English or German GuideToGo audio tour covers the route, though some departures also feature a live guide. Bring headphones, a charged phone, and allow 3.5 hours.

“The tour itself was really good. We enjoyed the drive to the Atlantic road and the scenery was beautiful. It was a self guided tour so no guide. We did enjoy it and would recommend it. The only problem was the Meeting point. We all went to the green flag but no one came to collect us and we had to find the bus on our own. Otherwise, it was a very good tour.”
