“Was a little apprehensive about booking a trip independently mainly because of getting back to the ship on time. There was no need for concern. The meeting point is 5-7 minute walk from where the ship docked, once you have left the terminal turn left and start to walk. You will see a wooden foot bridge. Once you cross this you will see coaches waiting and guides outside the rusty orange building. Anna was welcoming and friendly and very informative. We had a couple of photo stops en route to Trollstigen. Here there are washrooms, cafe, souvenir shops. Due to the road closure as described on the website for a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 111 reviews · from $64

Take a 2.5-hour round-trip ride on Norway’s Rauma Railway from Åndalsnes to Bjorli. An English-speaking guide explains the Troll Wall, Verma Waterfall, Kylling Bridge, local life, and the Second World War gold run. Expect a slow train, big windows, photo opportunities, and a 30-minute stop at Bjorli.

“The tour was excellent. The scenery is stunning and the guide was good. The only feedback I would add is the allocation/non allocation of seats is a bit of an issue. We changed seats for the return as people had taken ours and were approached by Mr Angry demanding we move as we were in “his seats”. The policy on this could perhaps be better flagged.”

Via Ferrata Åndalsnes Intro Wall

9.Via Ferrata Åndalsnes Intro Wall

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 84 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $150Top rated

Meet your local guide at Norsk Tindesenter for a safety briefing, gear fitting, and a half-day climb on Åndalsnes’ Grade B Intro Wall. You’ll use steel cables, steps, ladders, and natural rock high above Romsdalen, with views toward Troll Wall, Romsdalshorn, and Bispen before hiking back through Nesaksla.

“My wife's highlight of the trip! We had done a via feratta in Peru, so we had a pretty good idea of what we were getting into on this activity. Our expectations were surpassed entirely by Stian (the guide), the equipment, and the views. While it was tough (you have to be fit to do this comfortably), safety was never a concern. The cables, brackets, and anchors were in good shape, and I never felt any flex or give in them. My wife (and the pictures verify this) reports the views were amazing. I'm scared of heights, so I focused on the mountain and, with Stain's help, was able to…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 65 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $214

Guides may include Mathias, Isaac, or Axel.

“This was such an amazing experience. We’re two fairly inexperienced climbers, and this was our first Via Ferrata—but we managed to finish it in under 3 hours! The views were stunning, and our guide, Mathias, was great: super fun, informative, and made us feel safe the whole time. He also took some awesome photos and videos of us, which was a nice bonus.”

12.City Sightseeing Geiranger Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 34 reviews · from $49

Ride a double-decker bus through Geiranger on a flexible 24-hour ticket. Stop at the Norwegian Fjord Centre, Westeras Farm, and Flydalsjuvet Viewpoint, or stay aboard for the 50-minute circuit. Audio commentary and free headphones are included, but service runs mainly around cruise ship arrivals.

“The views are spectacular. It is amazing to see places with snow and other areas right next to the other mountain without. Worth the trip even if you only stayed on the bus and rode around.”

Geiranger: Sky to Fjord Downhill Biking Adventure

13.Sky to Fjord Downhill Biking Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 23 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $160

You’ll ride 16 km downhill from Djupvatn Lake at 1,030 meters to Geiranger, stopping at waterfalls, valleys, Knuten, and Flydalsjuvet. Excursions.no supplies the bike, helmet, gloves, and visibility vest, then leaves you to set your own pace without a guide. The road is shared with buses and cars, so confident bike handling matters.

“Scenery was breathtaking! Was really lucky that it was clear sunny day. Staff were also extremely helpful, and happy that we were able to go down at our own pace for all of the photos we wanted to take!”

14.The Golden Train on Rauma Railway in Romsdalen

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · 2 hours 25 minutes to 2 hours 55 minutes (approx.) · from $74

Ride the Golden Train from Åndalsnes to Bjorli and back in about two and a half hours. Friendly hosts provide English commentary as the Rauma Railway climbs through Romsdalen, with a short stop at Bjorli. Bring your mobile ticket, arrive early, and sit on the right side for the best views.

“We were a little confused prior to boarding our train as the reservation was for 12:50 on loading platform 2. We watched another train with long lines of people waiting to board on platform 1 and it was 12:30. In hindsight I should have put two and two together finally asked at 12:45 and that was our train. Other than that it was perfect! We loved this excursion. It was comfortable and very informative.”

Geiranger: Excursions.no Geiranger Highlights

15.Excursions.no Geiranger Highlights

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 19 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $80

This short bus tour takes you from central Geiranger to Flydalsjuvet and Eagle Bend, two of the area’s best viewpoints. You’ll ride the 11-bend Eagle Road, hear commentary in one of eight languages, and get about 15 minutes at each stop. Driver Aksla and guide Thomas have been praised for making the winding ride memorable, though headset quality can vary.

“This is a narrated bus ride to Flydalsjuvet, a lookout point above the town of Geiranger at the end of the Geirangerfjord and also to Eagle’s Bend looking back down the Geirangefjord. There are 15 minute stops to take photos at each location. The narration is by audioguide and ours played for Ålesund, a different city in Norway, not Geiranger - so we were disappointed about that and took off one star. The driver, Aksla, was as skilled as they come and experiencing her fluid navigation of the 11 hairpin turns up and down the mountain was pure driving artistry.”
