The Atlantic Ocean Road – A Masterpiece of Norwegian Engineering

One of the absolute highlights of this tour is the world-famous Atlantic Ocean Road (Atlanterhavsveien) – recognized as a National Tourist Route and voted the “Norwegian Construction of the Century.”
This spectacular road winds gracefully over the open sea, connecting a chain of small islands with sweeping bridges and offering panoramic ocean views found nowhere else in the world. Feel the salt air, hear the waves, and witness Norway’s natural forces up close.

Farstadsanden Beach – A Coastal Paradise

Nature lovers will be enchanted by Farstadsanden Beach, a peaceful stretch of soft sand and dunes framed by rugged coastline. The gentle sound of Atlantic waves creates an atmosphere of calm and serenity – perfect for a relaxing walk or a quiet moment by the sea.
Guests  have the opportunity to join  guided walk along the coastal nature trail, led by our experienced guide. Participation is not mandatory – you may simply enjoy the scenery and spend your time at the beach as you wish.

Bud – A Scenic Coastal Viewpoint with Maritime Charm

Another memorable stop is the viewpoint overlooking the fishing village of Bud, offering wonderful views of the surrounding islands, the open sea, and the colorful wooden fishermen’s houses below. This spot captures the essence of Norway’s coastal life – the perfect place for a photo stop and a moment to take in the beauty of the landscape. The nearby Ergan Coastal Fort (just outside visit) also reflects the region’s rich maritime history and the deep connection between the local people and the ocean.
