Review of Bergen’s Viking village, electric Nærøyfjord cruise, Flåm Railway, transport, value, seasonal changes, and practical tips.

Explore Oslo’s Viking Planet with VR films, holograms, ship scans, timelines, and optional Viking combat gaming.
“🌟 A Must-Visit for Viking Fans and Mythology Buffs! 🛡️⚔️ If you’re obsessed with Vikings (the TV show or the real ones), Norse mythology, or even Game of Thrones, then The Viking Planet is an absolute gem! 🤩 This interactive museum will transport you back in time with its fantastic VR experience—seriously, it’s like stepping onto a Viking ship. 🛶 The highlight? A virtual tour of the Viking Ship Museum, which is a lifesaver since it’s currently closed for repairs (at the time of this review). The overall ticket price is quite reasonable, though the Viking VR game—where you get to battle like a true Norse warrior—does cost a bit…”

Sail Bergen’s waterfront on a Viking-style ship, help raise the square sail, fish for mackerel, and hear stories of Norway’s coastal past.
“Weather didn’t cooperate much - oddly rainy without much wind to sail. Zachary was extremely personable and insightful. Made the rainy voyage around the fjord enjoyable.”
Review of Bergen’s Viking Village, Nærøyfjord cruise, Tvindefossen, and Flåm Railway, with honest advice on value, timing, and what to expect.
“We really enjoyed this excursion. Five stars. I had looked at variations of excursions & really wanted to ride the Flam railway, not just visit the town of Flam. Other travelers thought that if the title of the excursion included “Flam” then the Flamsbana was included. Do not be fooled by that when comparing. This excursion DID include the Flam railway ride on May 2, 2025. Another advantage is this tour minimizes bus time. We were in a mini bus of 16 guests for the Tvindefosse visit and then finished the bus in Gudvangen. At the Viking Village, our bus driver and tour guide left us with our train tickets…”
Review of Bergen’s private Flåm day tour, with a Viking village, Nærøyfjord cruise, waterfalls, railway views, and practical booking advice.
“Perfect Day. Our Guide Pål was great. He picked us up at our hotel exactly on time drove us through the countryside while explaining the history of the area and stopping at some special sites. He got us on the ferry and told us exactly were to sit. After the cruise, he met us and got us on the Flam and eventually met up in Voss for the ride hope. Excellent”
Explore Oslo with 11 Viking-themed puzzles, from City Hall to Akershus Fortress, in a flexible self-guided walking game for $7.20.

Review of Wild Viking rafting near Geilo: Grade 3 thrills, mountain scenery, safety guidance, costs, gear, and who should book.
“We hebben echt een top ervaring gehad bij het team van Serious Fun! De tocht over de rivier was gaaf, uitdagend maar ten alle tijden veilig. Het personeel is vriendelijk, let goed op en hun enthousiasme maakt de hele tocht een ervaring om niet te vergeten. Een absolute aanrader! Ps; Achteraf kun je ook de foto's en een video kopen voor 300 NOK(zit dus niet bij de prijs inbegrepen).”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
