Hola!,
He escrito a Turid de visitskjolden (lo ví en alguno de las otras salidas, no recuerdo cual) y me ha contestado lo siguiente respecto a la posibilidad de hacer una excursión en grupo con ellos. Tienen varias posibilidades y precios (os pongo todo); ella me habla de un minibús (en principio con conductor de habla inglesa sin guía, aunque tiene que confirmarlo) para ir al Nigardglacier, duraría 3,5 horas y costaría 430 NOK (unos 46 eur), con posibilidad de descuentos según el número de personas. Nosotros ya seríamos 10 (incluido un bebé), por lo que quedarían libres 6 plazas, no sé si a alguien más le interesa, … También se podría elegir otro de los tours, se admiten sugerencias
Hello Patricia,
I am so sorry that you have had no answer at all to your mail. I just "lost" it between others ...
Firstly, I enclose the updated list for our tours. Here you can see that we can offer tours to Nigardglacier with guide. I am not sure if I have a guide for both minibuses that particular day. If not, I will be able to offer you a tour with Jo, our local and englishspeaking driver. He will take you to the glacier and back and answer questions along the route. This is a little different from the tour E and like I said without guide. The price is Nok 430 per person.
Every seat taken has to pay, and a baby must sit in a special seat (which we have in the bus).It's not allowed to hold the baby while driving. The same prices also for elderly people. But, if you are 14 + baby, I will give you a discount of Nok 430. If you are 15 + baby, this gives you a discount of 10% (Nok 688).
This tour is a good one for all ages. Transport time is approx 2,5 hours + stops on the road 1 hour. You will be able to see the glacier from the parking, not touch or walk on it. Then a new view from the Glaciercenter (cafe, souvenirs, toilets).
Departure time is normally when the bus i full. If you have a group og 15-16 people you can choose when to leave. Payment by Paypal or cash (and hopfully by then, card) 30 min before departure in the VisitSkjolden booth in the center of Skjolden (900 m from the ship). But, if you fill up the bus, you can be picked up at the dock.
Please let me know if you have other questions, Patricia. I will answer asap when I can, but this weekend is very busy.
All the best from Skjolden
