Good molde tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Travel by bus from Molde to the Atlantic Ocean Road, with a photo stop at Eldhusøya and a panorama from Varden at 407 meters. The GuideToGo app provides English or German commentary, though you should bring headphones and a charged phone. The 3.5-hour route is designed around cruise-ship schedules.

Spend four hours exploring Norway’s wild coast by bus with a live English or German guide. You’ll cross the Atlantic Ocean Road, stop at Eldhusøya, visit Bud, and finish at Varden Viewpoint above Molde. Guides such as Nick, Maggy, and Dominique have led recent tours. Expect striking scenery, short stops, and plenty of time on the road.
“Our guide Nick was wonderful! He was informative, funny and knows his stuff.”
From Molde, you’ll cross the Atlantic Ocean Road, walk beside Farstadsanden Beach, and stop above the fishing village of Bud. A local English- or German-speaking guide leads the coastal walk, while coach transport handles the long stretches between sites. Expect about 1 to 3 km of walking over uneven ground, plus flexible time to enjoy the beach.
See Molde’s coastal highlights on a 4.5-hour guided outing with a local English or German-speaking guide. You’ll visit Kvernes Stave Church, stop at Farstad Beach and the Atlantic Ocean Road, then take in Molde from Varden Viewpoint.

“It was a fantastic tur. Kristina our guide was marvelous and the driver as well!! I received all the information that we were interested in!”
Travel from Molde through fjords, marble country, fishing villages, and the Atlantic Ocean Road on a 3.5-hour mobile audio tour. You will stop at Eldhusøya and Varden viewpoint, see Molde’s landmarks, and cross eight sea bridges. Bring your own headphones, download the GuideToGo-official app, and confirm your cruise pier before departure.
“Very nice tour, exactly as advertised, enjoyed seeing the countryside and the coast road with time for photos and travel break, the trip up to the viewpoint was nice ( very steep, glad I wasn’t driving)! Guide was interesting.”
Start beside Thon Hotel in Molde, gear up with a wetsuit and safety equipment, then paddle toward small islands and skerries, including Moldivene when weather allows. English and Norwegian guides lead the three-hour trip, with photo stops for Molde’s famous 222-peak panorama. Children ages 5 to 13 must share a double kayak with an adult.
“Wonderful and serene time kayaking at Molde! My family had a great time.”
In Molde, you and your private detective team get a full escape-room briefing, then 60 minutes to follow clues through decorated rooms and identify a fictional serial killer. The activity lasts 75 minutes, runs in Norwegian or English, and ends with a debrief and walkthrough. It suits friends, families, and small groups who enjoy timed puzzles.
Travel privately from Molde to Eide and along the Atlantic Coast Highway, with photo stops, a fish lunch in Bud, a coastal fort museum, and the Varden viewpoint. Your English-speaking driver-guide handles the route, snacks, and drinks, while you pay separately for lunch and entry tickets.
Take on a private 75-minute escape room in Molde with a Norwegian or English-speaking host. You get 60 minutes inside a Breaking Bad inspired laboratory to solve puzzles, destroy evidence, and escape before the police arrive. It suits groups of friends, cruise passengers, and first-time players, with a short introduction and debrief included.
“It was great fun! We were a group of four people. For three of us, it was the first time doing an escape room and I can tell, we enjoyed it a lot. Great atmosphere, nice rooms and very tricky tasks made it hard for us to make it through, but in the end we managed to finish the Escape Room just in time. Definitely reccomend this activity if you are in Molde and looking for some fun.”
Join a private driver-guide for about 4 hours and 40 minutes from Molde’s pier. You’ll visit the Romsdal Museum, cross the Atlantic Road and its twisting Drunken Bridge, pause by Malmefjorden, and take in 222 snow peaks from Varden. Your group of up to four travels in an air-conditioned vehicle with bottled water.
“We had a wonderful tour of the Atlantic Road and the Romantic Road. The countryside is so beautiful. Our guide was just great. She was so informative and so helpful. We just had the best time.”
