In Tunsbergdalen and also on Styggevatnet we offer a trip of approximately 24 hours! Spend a whole day glacier exploring and kayaking in Norway! Then spend the night in tents near the lake, returning to civilisation early the following morning in the kayaks.
If we start the tour in the morning, we can wander over the glacier late into the afternoon, knowing we only have a short walk back to our campsite afterward. With the bonus of spending an evening in this beautiful remote valley comes the advantage of having a lot of extra time to explore the glacier on an unforgettable glacier hike.
Starting the tour in the afternoon is also possible, kayaking to the campsite. Then using the second day to enjoy Tunsbergdalsbreen glacier to the maximum.
It must be emphasised that Icetroll’s aim is to offer tours designed for people of any ability. These tours are for you, after all! If you’re hoping to experience amazing glacier hiking and some of the best kayaking in Norway, join us for an overnight adventure you won’t soon forget!
There is a four-person minimum for this trip. If you are less than 4 people, we can include you on trips with others, of course.

You need to tell us you are on a bus BEFORE YOU BOOK if you want us to wait for you and take you in our vehicle to the lake.
If you are on public transport (bus) we can wait for the Glacier Bus to arrive, but recommend you stay in Jostedal after the tour, so we don’t rush back for the bus that leaves Jostedal in theafternoon! If you miss any bus connections, we have no responsibility for this or consequent transport you require (we will try to help you, but this is not our job – our trips often run later than advertised, there is a lot of nature to enjoy!).
