The compact Norwegian town of Odda packs serious punch when it comes to outdoor adventures. Several standout tours make the most of this dramatic fjord setting. My favorite is the practical 2-hour RIB boat ride – it’s efficient and gets you up close to the majestic fjord walls without breaking the bank. For a splurge, the 2.5-hour helicopter flight over Pulpit Rock and Troll Tongue delivers unforgettable aerial views. Nature lovers will appreciate the 7.5-hour Hardanger Fjord tour, combining waterfalls and local farm visits. The challenging Trolltunga hike rewards with Norway’s most iconic photo spot, though it requires a full day and good fitness. Let’s explore the very best tours this region offers.
