4 Farms Tours in Norway Worth the Krone

1.Haugesund Viking Cruise – The Viking Farm and Viking Planet

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 37 reviews · 3 hours · from $156Our pick

3-hour Haugesund cruise for families: sail into Avaldsnes Viking Farm, visit the Viking Planet digital museum, and enjoy guided boat views.

“The Viking farm was very informative but we only had about 20 mins to look around - which was fine as there wasn't much to see to be honest. I was expecting more exploration and hands on activities. Our guide was brilliant on the boat trip which was interesting and with beautiful scenery. The Viking planet was very small and totally digital. Really expensive for what was in there and we were done in about 40 mins. Again, I was hoping for more. Quite a disappointing day out really”

Horse-drawn sleigh through Alta Arctic woods, then cold tapas in a Sami lavvo at a real sheep farm, with pickup and warm gear.

“Perfection just about sums it up. We booked the sleigh ride with tapas meal as a private excursion from our February 2023 Northern Lights cruise rather than the ship offered excursion, and we are so glad we did!!!! We expected a short sleigh ride and some nibbles. What we received was the warm hospitality of the owners themselves, a family on a true working farm, a beautiful sleigh ride through white snow with warm blankets, and a meal that words could do not justice. Fresh carved and prepared foods, home baked breads and treats and fresh seafood was only topped by the warmth of our hosts. The tour is offered…”

4.Lofoten (Stamsund and Leknes): Aimees Farm Experience

Aimees Farm Experience in Lofoten, five courses of local food with a farm tour, Scottish highland cattle, and free range pigs. Small group.

“What a fantastic evening, firstly seeing farming life Lofoten style, bottle feeding the lambs, checking on the pigs and cattle roaming free and Then “wow” a meal to remember, pretty much all locally sourced either direct from the farm or other local Lofoten farmers. Aimee and her daughters were lovely and went the extra mile to make us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.”
