A unique experience you never want to forget. Due to mating season, this product is only limited to 3 weeks in October.
"To get the chance to observe some of Norways most wild and esthetic deer up close is an experience of a lifetime. The roar from the Norwegian red stag during mating season is as authentic nature can be. You can feel the adrenalin rushing through your body as the roar from the mountains sneak up closer and closer. All your sense needs to be turned on to react to the instinct. You need to be fully focused during the tour, and the pure and authentic part of being a human really comes back to you as answers the stag with a roar from way down below the diafragma. This is not an adventure in nature, but an experience with nature".
Gunnar Garfors visited us back in 2021 to experience this unique adventure, and if you know some Norwegian you can read more about it in his book "Bortom allfarveg Vestlandet".
The tour starts and ends in Tafjord, and the timing needs to be perfect. You can either go out early i the morning, or right before dawn. Please let us know which time you prefer your safari during sign up. During the safari we all need to be very quite, and we therefor go through instructions and general information about the Norwegian deer before we head towards the mountains. We need to move very slowly, so bring warm clothes.
The safari lasts between 2-2,5 hours, and will not be very physical challenging due to the paste.
When Gunnar visited us last fall he spent one night in the charming guesthouse of Olagarden after the safari. Here he got served a three corse dinner, where the main course was deer form the mountains around Tafjord. He found this whole package to be an experience by it self. Let us know if you would want to experience the same. We can arrange dinner and lodging on request for our guests in Olagarden.
Price 1-2 people: 6000 NOK / 3-4 people 7000 NOK (max 4 guests per group)
Age limit for the tour is 12 years when accompanied with a guardian. The tour is not very challenging, but you need to be able to walk in hilly terrain outside of paths. A real off the beaten tracks adventure. To have the best possible odds on getting close up on the deer we can not work with larger groups than 4 people at the time. This product is only avaliable in October, but we offer wild deer safari outside of mating season from January - April.
The guided tour starts and end at our office in Tafjord. Here you will have the opportunity to change clothing, store personal belongings safe, and take a shower if needed after the tour. Remember to inform us on what time of the day you prefer going on a safari (morning or afternoon).
We can be helpful with transportation from/to Tafjord prior/after the tour.
The guide will always put the group's safety as a priority. This means that weather, wind, and other conditions will always provide guidance as to whether the planned route can be completed or not. Should the weather be too bad, we as the organizer will cancel, and you will be offered to move the trip or a full refund. Remember to read through our booking conditions and safety rules as this is automatically part of the agreement when you book a trip.
