Haugesund
We meet at the cruise port and escort you to our passenger boat. We do a guided tour through "Karmsundet" the sound between the mainland and the islands to the Viking Village of Bukkøya. On the way our local guide point out several points of interest and prepare you for what to expect in the Viking Village This area has has a vast historical importance for Norway. In fact, Norway has it name from the sound that was called "Way to the North" by the vikings, or Nordvegr, and therefor its name Norway.
You will find the Viking Village on a small, forested island, just inside the rocks where king Olav Tryggvason drowned a group of wizards one thousand years ago. In the farmyard you will find a longhouse, a boat house for a Viking warship, a roundhouse and several smaller buildings. Outside the farmyard there are paths through the forest for those who will just seek some peace and tranquility. In the summer season the Viking Farm is open for tourists. In the evenings and in weekends it is possible to rent the longhouse for guided tours and banquets, and while the fireplace sparkles and the flames cast shadows on the walls, you will be taken back to the 10th century. Each Year in June there is a Viking Festival at the Viking Farm. Then Vikings from many countries set up their tents among the reconstructed buildings.
