On this tour from Kristiansand, you’ll see why southern Norway is such a popular destination and known by Norwegians as ‘the smiling south’.
Kristiansand is the main city of the region and the fifth largest in Norway. There’s a fascinating blend of old and new architecture that you can admire on a brief sightseeing tour of its landmarks.
We'll then continue to Lindesnes Lighthouse, a famous landmark at the South Cape of Norway that marks the entrance of the Skaggerak Strait. We’ll have lunch here, including locally made sourdough, fresh savoury fishcakes, leg of lamb, and moose sausages.
Your tour will also visit Skudeneset farm and vineyard, the northernmost vineyard in the world. Learn about the wine-making process from the passionate vintner and taste the award-winning Sygna sparkling wine. Over at the basketry, the winemaker’s wife will impress you with her willow-weaving skills.
We can’t visit the south coast and not see the world’s largest underwater restaurant, Under, for a short visit and presentation. With Michelin Star status, Under’s dining room is 5.5 metres below sea level, immersing guests in Norway’s marine life.
