Your Nordic adventure begins with a journey to the island of Frei, once the site of a fierce Viking battle. From here, you’ll take an undersea tunnel to Bergsøy Island. The scenery grows ever more dramatic as you make your way to the incredible Atlantic Ocean Road. Voted Norway’s Engineering feat of the Century in 2005, the road connects Averøy with the mainland and was built across small, uninhabited islands and skerries, linked by bridges. The road faces the Atlantic at all times and offers incredible vistas and viewpoints no matter what the weather brings.
Upon arrival at Geitøya Island, you’ll board a replica of the Viking ship, Saga Siglar for the short cruise to Håholmen Island, in an archipelago of around 20 small islands and islets. During your visit you’ll also see a film about Ragnar's voyages and the 3 Viking ships he built, after which it’ll be time for refreshments of coffee and cake in a cosy restaurant.
Afterwards, you’ll board the boat again for the short boat ride back to the island of Geitøya, where a bus awaits you to drive you to Averøya en route to Kristiansund, via the Atlantic Ocean Road and the underground tunnel.
Essential information
This excursion will operate by coach, boat and on foot. There is approximately 30 minutes of walking on this tour, as well as a few steps to negotiate. Some of the walking is over uneven ground. This tour is not suitable for passengers with a fear of tunnels. In the event that inclement weather prevents the Viking ship from sailing, you will be transferred to Håholmen Island by modern boat.
