2.Molde: Atlantic Ocean Road & Varden Audio Guide Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 473 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $93

From Molde’s cruise pier, ride a bus along the Atlantic Ocean Road and Hustadvika Coast, with an English or German GuideToGo audio tour. Stop at Eldhusøya and Varden, 407 meters above sea level, for sea, fjord, island, and mountain views. Guides such as Marin and Corinna may also assist on some departures.

“The tour itself was really good. We enjoyed the drive to the Atlantic road and the scenery was beautiful. It was a self guided tour so no guide. We did enjoy it and would recommend it. The only problem was the Meeting point. We all went to the green flag but no one came to collect us and we had to find the bus on our own. Otherwise, it was a very good tour.”
