Why did NOBODY else do this? A FREE alternative to a cruise excursion in Haugesund, Norway.

Visiting Haugesund, Norway on your Norwegian Fjords cruise? In this video, we take you on a DIY walking tour that was completely FREE to do from the Haugesund cruise port into the town centre and out to the beautiful Djupadalen Lake - not what we had originally planned to do! Our plans changed when we arrived in Haugesund as we discovered it was a Bank Holiday in Norway so the public buses we were planning to use were not running in the morning. We sailed on Ambassador Ambience in June 2025 visiting 6 ports in Norway. Along the way, we share helpful tips for cruise passengers, like where to find free WiFi, maps, the shuttle bus, and how to check bank holiday bus timetables.
We explore Haugesund on foot, discuss what to expect from the walking route, and offer advice on accessibility, terrain, and time needed. Whether you're looking for a peaceful nature escape, or wondering what to do in Haugesund without booking a cruise excursion, this video is for you!
Watch till the end for insights on costs, alternatives like the hop-on hop-off bus, and our honest opinion on whether the walk to Djupadalen is worth your time.
