About this activity

Unleash Your Inner Explorer with jaw-dropping waterfalls, authentic Norwegian culture, and a thrilling boulder adventure, this is a day you’ll never forget.

Start with a scenic drive through the picturesque Frafjord Valley, leading to the majestic Månafossen—Norway’s largest and most powerful waterfall. After a short but invigorating hike, feel the mist on your face as you stand in awe of this roaring natural wonder.

Next, we’ll visit Byrkedalstunet, a charming historic dairy farm turned hotel and restaurant. Wander the grounds, and explore the onsite candle factory while delving into Norwegian traditions and history.

The day peaks with a visit to Gloppedalsura, Northern Europe’s largest boulder field, located in a UNESCO Geopark. This site, steeped in WWII history, is surrounded by towering cliffs. Tackle the via ferrata course through these colossal boulders—an exhilarating experience like a natural escape room!
