Norway · EVENING EXPERIENCES
Good evening experiences fill up weeks ahead in Norway and the great ones go first. Here are the 13 to book early, with prices and departure points.
Cruise Oslofjord aboard a restored wooden ship, feast on fresh peel-and-eat shrimp, and watch Oslo glow across islands and bays.
“There was no light on the upper deck. We ate shrimps in the dark?! It was not comfortable.”
Cruise Tromsø’s Arctic waters in search of the Northern Lights, with warm drinks, thermal suits, helpful guides, and indoor comfort.
“Comfortable boat and entertaining crew. we went out on a night-time fjord cruise, with complementary hot drinks and cookies on board. We were shown how to rod fish, and I caught my first ever fish- an Atlantic cod! The chef on board even prepared it for us and some of the other guests to have a taste. Unfortunately the 'green lady' did not smile on us, as it was quite a cloudy night, but this was well worth going on anyway. 5*”
Explore Oslo’s myths, Norse legends, fortress stories, and daring thefts on a two-hour evening walking tour for $42.
“The tour was great the guide was brilliant so informative and full of knowledge loads of chat about Death in Oslo Thoroughly enjoyable even being so cold Great experience highly recommended and let’s look after our trolls THANKS AGAIN”
Review the Oslo Fjord evening cruise, with a wooden sailboat, sunset views, Norwegian shrimp buffet, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Loved the trip around the fjord and the shrimp was excellent. I wish they would have told us a bit more about the areas but overall very relaxing and fun”
Feed reindeer, ride a sleigh, enjoy a Sami dinner, and watch for northern lights on this practical Tromsø evening tour.
“Very well organised. Everyone at the Sami camp were very welcoming and helpful. Very informative talk by Sami guide. Very nice hot food. Aurora appearing mid way through was a bonus.”
Explore Bergen by Segway at night, from Bryggen to Mount Fløyen, with a small English-speaking group and sweeping city views.
“Great tour around the entire city. Took us into neighborhoods and along streets inaccessible by bus and would have been a difficult walk. Best part was the ride up to the Floivanen Funicular where we had amazing views of the city below.”
Review of Tromsø’s 3.5-hour Northern Lights boat cruise, with thermal suits, hot drinks, crew tips, safety notes, pricing, and booking advice.
“I booked this tour last minute as I had been watching the weather and left one night open for "just in case". Polar Adventure did a great job on land, and so I booked them again for the sea and it did not disappoint! The skies were clear and before we could get away from the city lights, the northern lights began....and didn't stop the entire time we were on the boat! The crew did a great job making sure we were all aware of what was going on and taking photos of them and the northern lights. The night was specatcualr and the captain and crew kept us on…”
Climb Trolltunga by via ferrata, watch sunset over Folgefonna, then sleep in a dome with dinner, breakfast, and a guide.
“Magic experience and excellent guides! Would recommend this trip to everyone”
Float in a warm rescue suit beneath Arctic skies near Tromsø, with fire-warmed treats and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
“It was an amazing experience to be able to float in cold water under the beautiful sky. Ingvar, the tour operator was professional, friendly and helpful. I will recommend that more people need to know the availability of such tours.”
Review of Bergen’s 2-hour night Segway tour, with Mount Fløyen views, historic streets, safety training, price, and practical booking advice.
“We had an AMAZING time with Tobias! It was the absolute highlight of our trip! Tobias gave us a great safety demonstration and practice time (since it was our first time using segways), so we felt very safe and comfortable on the segways. He answered all of our questions and we learned about the history of Bergen, Bryggen, and saw the beautiful city from Fløyen. When we had Segway issues (user-error), Tobias was kind and patient. We had an excellent time and recommend this activity to all who visit Bergen!”
Review of Trolltunga Sunset Glamping, a guided overnight hike with sunset, sunrise, dome camping, meals, and a small group.
“This was one bucket list activity and unique stay in a fancy glamping dome. Very good dinner and breakfast was served. Our guide, Sue, was excellent, friendly, and very professional. Highly recommended trip. It rained on us most of the time and it was still very enjoyable trip.”
Review of Bergen’s private fjord yacht cruise, with Bryggen views, drinks, swim stops, a flybridge, and practical booking advice.
“Staying in Bergen exploring the city, this relaxing cruise around Bergen is a perfect evening activity, to relax after a day of walking around.”
Explore Bergen by twilight on a private walking tour through Bryggen, harbor lanes, viewpoints, cafés, and local stories with hotel pickup.
“Evening tour with just our group was very different and completely enjoyable. Our guide Hector was engaging, informative, and very thorough!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
