      Bike hire, non electric.
      Really good quality bikes, we had non-electric and got all around the suggested route in 2 hours. Lovely route, took in beach and coast, and woodland areas.

      Excellent private tour of Bodo area, walk/drive
      We had an excellent, custom 6 hour walk/drive excursion with Ola S in Bodo, in his comfortable electric Audi. Ola deftly accomodated our pre-arranged requests for a certain pace of activities, (slow/moderate with rest, bathroom, and stops), and a combination of walking and driving sightseeing of the town, fortress with beautiful views, an intriguing WW2 bunker, maelstrom whirlpool, a lunch of Norwegian's famous lefsa with brown cheese and sour cream, and interesting photography. A tour of the Aviation Museum is also possible.

      Must-do activity - best way to see the lights!
      Incredible experience, Alexander was a great guide! Highly recommend as a must-do for any visitors to Bodø wishing to see the Northern Lights - the e-bikes are brilliant fun and the best way to get to a great viewing spot!

      Beautiful, exciting and super friendly. Great bikes and great people. A real treat. I give it 10 out of 10.
      Beautiful, exciting, and super friendly. My son felt sick the day we had planned the ride. We could move to the booking to another day really easily without extra cost. It turned out they just organised a ride specially for us. The guide was super friendly, and knew what he was doing. He also knew a lot about Bodø, so we learned a lot while cycling. The bikes are brilliant. It was easy going up because of the electrical boosting. Then the views at the top were amazing. Then going down. I am no hero, but it felt fine going down. The bikes were super steady, and the guide gave us excellent tips on how to deal with the tricky bits. He also chose a route which he felt we could handle. A real treat. I give it 10 out of 10.

      amazing views and good workout
      This mountain bike to Keiservarden’s summit ride was fantastic! The owner was very friendly and easy going! We would definitely do this ride again when in Bodo.

      Renting if Touring Bikes for Week Long Tour of the Lofoten Islands
      My girlfriend and I rented touring bikes and rode them from Moskenes to Tromso over the course of a week. We were able to rent the bikes from their shop in Bodo and then return them to Tromso Outdoor in Tromso which was great and allowed us to make a one way trip. The bikes were great and well suited for the longer tour, with suitable racks for panniers. They were well maintained and new which meant for good riding. Ola, at Opplev Nord was extremely helpful before and during our tour which meant it ran smoothly. If we had any questions Ola responded promptly by email. We would definitely use their services again and would recommend others if they are looking to do a tour of the Lofoten Islands without having to take their own bikes.

      Nice e-bikes, fast & flexible service
      Three of us went for an afternoon ride. It took us ten minutes to pick up the bikes and make some minor adjustments. Bikes were in premium shape, and worked really well on a pretty steep and technical loop. Return was quick and flexible too. Convenient location a short walk from most hotels. And if you know where to go: Bodø offers some world class mountain biking.

      Rented bikes for the day
      We rented bikes for the day and thoroughly enjoyed! Bikes were in great condition and Olav recommended many great routes for our bike trip and provided a map. He also gave recommendations for our Bodø stay. Highly recommend renting through him - the bike ride was one of our favorites things we did in Bodø

      Northern Lights Tour (plus a separate dog sledding event!)
      Ola was FANTASTIC! He truly went above and beyond in giving my group the best trip of our lives. We booked our events quite suddenly, but Ola made sure we were accommodated for everything. We had a lovely drive to see the Northern Lights, and the hot chocolates and biscuits were good for the trip! We expressed to Ola that we wanted to go dog sledding as well, and he found us a ride with a lovely couple to the dog sledding location. Out of all the trips I've ever taken (quite a few), this was by far the best! It wouldn't have been possible without Ola's hard work. If he can't give you something, he will definitely do his best to find a solution for you. We were blown away by how willing he and his team were to help, and their communication is top notch. You won't regret visiting Bodo!

      Fantastic bikes and gear, city tour not great
      The bikes and the gear were OUTSTANDING QUALITY. Best we ever have seen. Ola, very dedicated and explained well. 3 points o my because we did the city of Bodø tour and honestly, there was not much to see. It was on Nov 19th and we were absolutely freezing and we had difficulties finding a bar or a ver lace for toilet. I would definitely recommend the shop and it’s gear, but select another tour

      Experience of a lifetime!
      I had a wonderful experience on this tour with Ola! I really wanted to challenge myself to do something different while in Norway and the Northern Lights have been on my bucket list of course. I was nervous as I have never ridden an e-bike, or biked in many years, and the mountain was challenging for me, but Ola was very patient when I needed a break and helped me feel confident on the bike. We saw amazing lights on the way down, an incredible experience I will cherish forever!

    We had a really enjoyable trip with the guide! The bicycles were great, and the overall experience was pleasant. However, if you have the time and energy, I would suggest discussing the route in more detail with the guide beforehand. During our trip, we ended up doing a shorter version with only one viewpoint, as the guide assumed we might be too tired. We did mention that we’d try to manage, and in the end, it turned out to be quite manageable. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I recommend clarifying the route in advance to make sure you get the full experience.

    Hi - thank you for your feedback. Our guide did make an error on our behalf. Partly because we just changed departure time from 10 am to 11 am. So out of his earlier tours this summer that were 10 - 13 he by refleks cut this tour one hour early. Totally our fault, and hope the partial refund is now well at hand as an apology from us. Best wishes, Ola.

    We did the e-mountain bike tour at the end of August, and it was spectacular! Ola was a fantastic guide and tailored the route for us intermediate mountain bikers. While the day was a bit gray, the views from the Kaisers Vaerden were amazing, as well as along the ridgeline behind. We took on some challenging single track (and some mud), but the bikes worked great both climbing and descending.
    This was one of the highlights of our trip to Norway, and we'd definitely come back and do more riding next time we are in the area.

    Absolutely amazing experience. The mountain bikes had powerful settings that whizzed us up the steep climbs with ease. Ola gave excellent instructions and support throughout, so even the mechanically disinclined, like myself, were able to operate the mountain bike with ease. Saw views of Sweden and Iceland from the top of the mountain, streams, & rich history. Empowering experience & a sure way to feel the magic of Bodo. Thank you, Ola!

    It has been a really great tour! I can totally recommend it :)
    The bikes are awesome as well. During my tour the weather before was really rainy so it was quite wet and muddy but the bikes still worked through everything even though it got a bit exhausting at a few points. Overall it was an awesome start for mz trip to Nordland!

    My wife and I had a fantastic eMountain Bike experience. The guide was very kind, friendly, and informative. The bikes were new and in excellent condition. Although the views were invisible due to the cold, foggy, and cloudy weather, we enjoyed every moment. We did not have mountain biking experience, but the electric feature of the bike made the experience comfortable and achievable.

    The guide (and trainee guide) was quite good and made the trek easy. The trainee guide, in particular, showed off his knowledge of the geography and history of the area. The eBikes were good but not great. But they were good enough to help tremendously getting me to the top and back. I'm 70+ so I was just a bit slower than the others. The view on top of Kaiservarden was terrific... not to be missed! I'm not sure if they could improve anything except perhaps having, for oldsters like me, an ebike with the option of not pedalling. Oh, and the seats... I'm not used to the tiny seats, so my sit-bones got sore quickly. Overall, highly recommended, not only the trek, but an excellent organization.

    Glad you enjoyed! I wish a non-pedalling option could have been offered, but Norwegian (EU) rules would then classify it as a motorized vehicle (as opposed to an ebike/pedelec/pedal assisted ebike). And that would not be allowed on the forest and mountain roads I am afraid. But more comfy seats and seat cushions is on the list :-)

    It was fantastic with plenty of information, local history and the most scenic bike trip to the Kaiser mountain. Challenging paths down the mountain and a beautiful round the whole city and the harbor. The best introduction to Bodø carried out by a flight guide/bicycle guide with additional flight information.

    Great outdoor adventure. We were fit but did not have a lot of mountain bike experience. Our guide was fantastic. We asked him to challenge us, and he did, but at the same time he was teaching us techniques and tracking our abilities. Very positive. The mountains were beautiful, unfortunately the cloud cover remained high on the mountains obscuring views of the waterways, but it was still completely worth it. We would absolutely do it again on our next trip.

    I had a fantastic experience on this mountain e-bike ride. I am an experienced intermediate mountain biker--I like the climb, but am cautious on the downhills. Ilo--my guide--was patient and full of great tips to help me maximize my ride. He shared all the local history, and took me to beautiful vista points to see the splendor of Bodo. Highly recommend. I went on a Sunday morning, when most of the town is closed, and I was the only one on the ride. If you want more company, pick another day.

    Firstly, Ola is fabulous - what a lovely man. He tailored a trip for us - initially just me and my husband but willingly extended that to include two new 'cruise buddies' at fairly short-notice. He took the four of us out on an ebike tour to the top of the cliffs to enjoy beautiful views out to sea and down the coastline. None of us are regular cyclists and ages 50-70. The ebikes were great - really good quality - and Ola chose a route to suit us. We stopped at the Viking Ship museum for a snack enroute and enjoyed the whole experience - really great fun and good value. After that he drove us out to the Saltstraumen in his car, timing our trip to coordinate with the high tides for the best experience. It really is a unique spectacle and definitely worth combining with the bike ride if possible. The bike shop is really easy to find and an easy stroll from the cruise berths if you arrive on a ship. I highly recommend contacting Ola to plan your trip and thank him very much for a great day out. Apologies for posting this review 6-months after our trip. Best wishes from, Sandy, Richard, Casey and Eddie.
