All I can say after the hike is "Noice" - A must do if you have a pit stop in Bodo. The initial journey to the hidden valley starts off the bar high with expansive mountain views and if the timing is right awesome angles of the Saltstraumen. The actual hike into the hidden valley isn't too difficult but highly recommend good enclosed boot like hiking shoes, some terrain can be boggy. The final vantage point of the hike is breathtaking, but to be honest the whole trek is jaw dropping. If you make good time, Ivar seems to have quite the luck with finding reindeer and moose for an amazing close up and memorable end to the tour.

A Magical Hike in Hidding Valley, Bodø - I had a wonderful experience hiking in Hidding Valley. The guide was incredibly kind, approachable, and easy to talk to, which made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. This hike is perfect for beginners – not too demanding, yet still rewarding. The views were absolutely magical, with breathtaking scenery all around. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bodø and looking for a peaceful, scenic outdoor adventure. The pictures were taken but Ivar, guide and photographer, he shared with me, which was very kind and I really love them!

Made the most of our day - This was the second tour we did with Ivar in our trip and it was absolutely amazing. Ivar offered us the option to follow the tour 100% or do a tailored version to get hiking and sightseeing around Bodo. The weather was amazing and he helped us made the most of it. He is so accommodating and relax. He shared a spot he goes to with his family and took us there. He stop so we talked to locals. He Took beautiful pictures of our trip. Not only that, he shared tips of where to go without him and he just nailed it. He considers your needs and gives you recommendations. If I come back to Bodo I will absolutely come back to Ivar.

A sunny day in a hidden valley - Our guide was Ingrid, a very nice girl, who, let me mention, walked the whole way barefoot! She also told us interesting facts about the dry pine tree and showed us the difference between real and fake blueberries The place, the lakes, the small waterfall, everything is beautiful, and we were lucky that it was a sunny day, so we even took a bath in one of the lakes. The water temperature was just right for refreshment, but not too cold. I recommend this trip to everyone

Hidden hiking gem in Bødo - Not only was the hike somewhere we would not have come on our own, our guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Bødo and hiking. Stunning scenery of mountains and lakes.

Amazing and informative adventure - The Hidden Valley hike was the absolute highlight of our time in the Bodø region. The hike was lots of fun, taking us through muddy, rocky, and grassy terrain, and revealing amazing views. We were also lucky to have perfect weather and fantastic guides: shout-out to Ingrid and her friend Emil! It will never cease to amaze us how you were able to traverse that landscape with bare feet! :) Thank you for sharing so many insights about the local nature and culture with us! We are especially grateful for the opportunity to see Saltstraumen on our way to the hike, given that it was at its strongest at that time of day. It was a wonderful surprise and an incredibly thoughtful gesture from you!
