For excursions guided in a different language than the above mentioned languages (for example Russian, Japanese, Mandarin etc.), please fill out the request form instead of booking online.

Section 5 – Be prepared for all weather conditions

We focus on putting a smile on all of our customer’s faces during and at the end of each excursion. Even though that is our aim, experience has taught us that people might end up slightly disappointed with their excursion when they have not been advised regarding appropriate clothing.

On hikes we advise you to be well prepared for everything. Bring hiking boots & warm clothing, for example a warm jacket and even rain gear if necessary.

Also on coach excursions we advise you to be prepared for everything. It might be warm and sunny when departing from the meeting point, but the weather in Norway can change rapidly. Especially when traveling up the mountains, where it can get windy and cold. Bring light appropriate shoe wear and warm clothing and even rain gear if necessary.

In case of doubt, please feel free to contact our booking office for further information.

Section 6 – We care about our environment

We kindly ask you to respect our beautiful planet. Please throw all garbage in trash cans or trash bags located on our supplier’s coaches. All coaches are equipped with trash bags on the side of each row, so kindly help us by using those bags for all trash while traveling on our excursions. Please do not hesitate to talk to/inform our guide or the driver if anything is out of place regarding this issue.

Section 7 – Liabilities before/during/after excursions

At all-time we reserve the right to change or adapt, if necessary, tour descriptions, departure times or the general routes. These changes can be necessary due to factors that cannot be controlled by us or our suppliers. We are not liable to any kind of factors that are suitable under the term “Force Majeure”. Factors that cannot be controlled by us are for example avalanches, accidents, injuries, strikes etc. We do not accept any liability to any kind of financial damages that may occur to you due to these factors with possible late arrivals as a result. Therefore you are fully responsible for all financial damages due to these uncontrollable factors.

Any damage to clothing (such as shoe wear, jacket and etc.) or personal belongings (such as camera, smartphones and etc.) during the excursion is on your own responsibility. Claims will not be accepted by us.

If any belongings are lost/missing after an excursion, we recommend you to let us know as soon as possible by calling us at (+47)92272247 / (+45)65744255 or by sending us a request online. By contacting us, we can contact our suppliers/partners to see if we can locate the missing item. Again, you are responsible for your own clothing and personal belongings at all times.

We advise you to be fully prepared by arranging a travel insurance before domestic/international traveling.

Section 12 – Book Locally

As from 01. October 2023 we started to introduce the term “Book Locally”. Those services that are marked with this term might be sold at a different price on other marketplaces/agents. The “Book Locally” term is to encourage our customers to book locally as we want our customers to experience “High quality tours at a fair price”. In addition, our discounted tours are meant for marketplaces or agents who have agreed to sell our services exclusively. This means that they are not offering similar or the same services that we are offering. All services that are NOT marked with this term are to be considered as “Book Locally”.
