Shore Excursions

What to Pack for Shore Excursions

Terrain on these excursions varies from manicured lawns and gravel garden paths to uneven mountain trails, making sturdy, water-resistant walking shoes or light hiking boots with good rubber tread essential for the Trimløypa trail in Måløy and the hike to Kringsjå Mountain Farm.

Fjord weather can change rapidly from bright sunshine to cool mountain breezes, so dress in breathable base layers topped with a warm mid-layer like a fleece, and carry a compact waterproof jacket in your daypack.

For photography, prepare your camera gear the night before by fully charging batteries, clearing memory cards, and packing a soft microfibre cloth and lightweight dry bag to protect your lens from waterfall spray and rain.

Making the Most of Your Guides

Both Jon Dunn and Sarah Cuttle accompany every shore excursion, ensuring expert guidance is always on hand.

Feel free to approach Sarah during walkabouts for tailored advice on camera settings, composition, or shutter speeds, whether blurring cascading water at Hatterbergfossen or capturing moving sheep in Haugesund. Meanwhile, Jon explores right alongside you, ready to point out soaring White-tailed Eagles, woodland birds, and native flora.

Beyond technical advice and wildlife spotting, both hosts are available to answer questions or simply chat as you explore.

Be sure to also engage with local hosts at Rosendal and Kringsjå, whose regional history and folklore add rich context to the scenery.
