At their base in Jostedalen, Fjord Active fit everyone with a wetsuit, helmet, buoyancy aid and padding, and walk the group through the safety routine. Then into the gorge: natural rock slides polished smooth by the river, float-throughs in glacier-fed pools, and jumps from ledges exactly as high as you choose — including not at all.

A snack and a drink come along the way. Afterwards, dry clothes and coffee at the Breheimsenteret glacier centre before the coach takes you back down the valley.

  • Natural rock slides in a glacier-fed gorge
  • Jumps at your own level — or none
  • All equipment provided
  • Coffee at Breheimsenteret afterwards

The day, hour by hour

Six hours, gangway to gangway

  1. 00:00 – 01:00 Coach from the pier up Jostedalen — often shared with the Hidden Glacier group, which starts from the same valley
  2. 01:00 – 01:30 Fjord Active fit wetsuits, helmets, buoyancy aids and padding, and run the safety routine
  3. 01:30 – 03:30 Into the gorge: jumps at your own level, rock slides and float-throughs in glacier-fed pools; a snack and a drink on the way
  4. 03:30 – 04:00 Dry clothes at the base
  5. 04:00 – 04:45 Coffee at the Breheimsenteret visitor centre (the exhibition is at guests' own expense)
  6. 04:45 – 06:00 Back down Jostedalen to the cruise pier

00:00 is the moment the group leaves the pier — not a clock time.
