About this tour

Walking with llamas through Mørkrid Valley is the experience that sets Skjolden apart from every other Norway cruise port. Skjolden Llamas leads small groups along riverside paths where glacier-fed water, mountain walls, and meadow scenery create an unforgettable backdrop.

This is not a rushed coach tour. The llamas set a gentle pace through the valley, giving you time to photograph the landscape, learn about local farming, and enjoy one of Norway's most unexpectedly charming shore excursions.

Designed for cruise passengers with easy activity levels, the walk suits families, couples, and anyone who wants something genuinely different from standard fjord sightseeing.
