Overview

Discover the scenery and history of the ‘Viking saga islands’ of Giske and Godøy. From Ålesund, we’ll travel across the Giske bridge to the saga island of Giske, the birthplace of the Viking chieftain, Rollo. The municipality was named after this small island because of its historical importance. Giske is fairly flat and fertile with some settlements dating back to the early Bronze Age. A stop will be made to photograph the exterior of the quaint 12th century white marble Giske Church, which was originally the private chapel of a local influential family. Travelling through a tunnel will bring us to the island of Godøy and the picturesque fishing village of Alnes. There will be a stop at Alnes Lighthouse for a visit where, on a clear day, there is a lovely view of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding islands. After returning to Ålesund, a stop will be made at the view point on Mount Aksla to enjoy the breathtaking view and a sightseeing tour through the city.

Meeting points

After exiting the security area, turn right immediately. Look for a parking lot situated between the Molo Restaurant building and a harbor structure. There, you'll find our representative in a green jacket next to the 'West Norway Travel' sign.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

The tour was as described The church was very interesting but you need to pay for entrance however it was worth it We got a tour with fee

Wonderful way to see the city

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a wonderful bus tour! Our tour guide Giuseppe was amazing. This was an easy, low impact way to see a lot of Ålesund. The island of Giske and its connection to Rollo was very interesting. A trip highlight was the lighthouse on Gödoy. Great views and a cute little lighthouse. I would recommend this bus tour to anyone visiting Ålesund!
