My husband and I felt this was the best trip we've ever taken! Norway is incredible. We enjoyed traveling through the many different areas of the country , the Flam Railway and the Havila cruise were great travel modes and everything ran smoothly. The Store Ringheim Hotel was a wonderful place to start our trip. The owner was very friendly and inspiring.
We spent two weeks in Norway and I'm so glad we spent that amount of time here. I would definitely consider coming back!

The site sits above the surrounding area and the views were beautiful. It was a nice walk going into town from the hotel.

This was a great way to see the fjord up close.

Everyone in our group loved this activity! I had never been white water rafting so I was very nervous, but the guides were excellent and told us exactly what to do. I would go again.

I liked getting out on the water, the kayaking was easy and provided another way to see the fjord and waterfalls up close.
