Boundless Journeys' trips are designed for energetic and flexible individuals who like to be active and have a spirit of adventure and a positive attitude. Western Fjords Adventure is rated 3, moderate, on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being the most strenuous). The hikes on this trip are day hikes with minimal vehicle support. The hikes will be easy to moderate with some longer options, averaging 3-5 hours per day and 3-6 miles. Elevation gains vary from approximately 300 ft. - 2300 ft. with shorter options on our more challenging days.The sea kayaking excursion is suitable for beginners and no experience is necessary. We may cover 5-8 miles in 4-6 hours, depending on weather and water conditions.
A glacier walk is planned for Day 3, weather permitting. All necessary equipment is provided, including crampons and ice axes. The guides we hike with are experienced mountaineers with a great deal of knowledge about glaciers and safety procedures. After being fitted with gear and a safety briefing, we head onto the ice itself for a unique perspective on the importance and beauty of glaciers. If conditions are better for snowshoeing, we will trade in our crampons for snowshoes. If it is unsafe to be on the ice, your guide(s) will offer a hike instead.
We have a large fleet of kayaks, both double and singles. All kayaks are expedition rigged with rudders and low backrests (in order to not get in the way of the sprayskirts). Our guides are usually able to find the best kayak fit for the person. We provide neoprene booties, a sleeveless long john wetsuit, a paddle jacket with a hood, a PFD, a sprayskirt and also a waterproof box for cameras or cellphones as well as a dry bag. No prior experience is needed.

Summer in Norway brings long days full of sunshine and warmer temperatures. You are unlikely to have sunshine every day, but it is also unlikely for it to be cloudy for long. June, July, and August see 18-20 hours of daylight. The following are average temperatures in the fjord regions of Norway during the summer months.

Summer in Norway is short, and the best weather for hiking and outdoor pursuits is generally from June through August. Landscapes of lush greens, ripe fruits, and wildflowers peak this time of year. While it is often bright and sunny, cool and/or wet weather is possible any time of year, and the weather can change quickly in the mountains and on the coast.
Norwegians love fish — smoked, grilled, fried, salted, cured, poached, pickled. Menus for most meals will have fish options. In addition, you will find a variety of meat dishes, soups, root vegetables, and salads for lunches and dinners. Breakfasts offer breads, cheeses, yogurts, muesli, and yes, more fish. It is common even for small hotels to offer meals buffet-style, as this allows travelers to try traditional local dishes alongside more familiar fare. Simply put, Norwegian cuisine is hearty and fresh. Please inform us of any specific dietary restrictions, and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please call our office with any questions or concerns about our ability to meet your needs.
