Intrepid Travel has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1989. A company that began with two bearded backpackers, a typewriter and a kitchen table now leads 100,000 travellers across the globe each year.

Today, Intrepid runs more than 1,000 itineraries across the globe and employs more than 1,500 staff and leaders (many of whom don’t even have beards). And while Indiana Jones got bored of travelling after only three adventures (we don’t talk about the fourth), Intrepid is still adding to our list of itineraries across Europe, Asia, Africa, North & South America, the Middle East, Australia and both the Arctic & Antarctica.

About Norway
Norway... From Oslo to Bergen and Hammerfest, with Fjords, Waterfalls, Mountains, Lofoten and Nordkapp. There is a lot of nature between the Southern and most Northern tip of this long stretched - but expensive - country with only 6 million people. The Great Outdoors are indeed GREAT. From walking to fishing, canoeing or camping in summer, with 24 hour daylight. Norway also has a really long winter with a lot of snow: perfect cross-country and alpine skiing conditions with the champions!

About Finland
Finland is a large, modern country in Northern Europe. The spoken language is completely different from it's other Scandinavian neighbours with only Estonian and Hungarian being similar. There are very few cities, lots of trees and lakes and empty space. Helsinki is the official capital, but in winter Rovaniemi in the North is far more important for most tourists - with Sami, Reindeer, Northern Lights and Santa Claus. National sports in Finland: ice hockey, cross country ski and Sauna!

Top Destinations in Norway.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Norway. Click on the city for more details of the destination.

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and known for the colourful harbour and (unfortunately) the rain. From here there are great trips to Voss and Flam.

The capital of Norway is a busy place, compared to the rest of Norway, but relaxed compared to many world cities. Tourists may like the Aker Brygge harbour with its many restaurants, the Vigeland park with its many naked statues and possibly the huge Holmenkollen ski jump.

The Sognefjord is nicknamed the King of the Fjords and the largest and deepest fjord in Norway.

The Geiranger Fjord is famous thanks to its natural beauty and the many waterfalls. The best views can be had from Geiranger village. It is UNESCO heritage and featured on most post cards.

Flåm is known for a trip called "Norway in a Nutshell", consisting of train and ferry rides.

The Lofoten is a group of picturesque islands in Northern Norway. You can see fishermen´s villages, rock formations and birdlife from up close. Beautiful, especially when you are lucky with the weather...
