Local media said on 27th of april... "opening date not possible to say, probably in the end of May..."

Unpredictable time of year.... Some years you can swim in the ocean in april, and other years you are shoveling snow in mid May....

Next days, and over the weekend, the temperatures are high for early may. You can check the weather forecast for each port here : https://www.yr.no/en

If the wind conditions are ok it docks at a seawalk. If not its tender boats. Euribia was in Nordfjordeid one time last year and that one time it was tender boats.. The time 0800 till 0930 seems ok...never been on a cruise but i guess the buses waits for the passengers... At least in a port like this... More info on www.fjordex.no and www.portofnordfjordeid.no Some mail adresses there you can use if you need more information.

Its more like 1,5 lane, two cars can pass most places. Also meeting places for cars and buses. More info here, 698 is half of this round trip: https://www.fjordex.no/nordfjord-panorama

Road conditions are no problem, maybe a bit narrow road from Olden up to the glacier, depends on what you are used too .. The skylift are a bit weather dependent, not much to see if its foggy. If you drive you could also drive on road 698 one of the ways. This road are called 'panoramic road'

I live in the "area"... Have not heard anything but good reviews about the fjordex company. Buses stand ready 100 meters from the ship when you dock, and are easy to find. I would have no second thoughts by ordering a trip from there.... I think from Nordfjordeid there are no other options than Fjordex. Just above 70 ships this year, and these trips available to most of the arrivals.

The top link are the correct one. The taxi central are 150m from the ship. If you dont get an response on you mail the service personell on land probably can help you order a taxi. Might be a hop-on-off bus/train but did not see it last year.

From 1st May 2024 buses over 11m will not have access to drive to the top of Aksla. Because of narrow road and chaos on top. I guess there will be other options available... Ålesund city are starting the work with better access, but that will take several years. The Stairs up are quite steep, but doable if you are fit. Aksla is well worth a visit. You can see some pictures of the chaos here : https://www.nrk.no/mr/turistar-fra-to-cruiseskip-til-kai-i-alesund-forer-til-trafikkaos-pa-byfjellet-aksla-1.16438694

Yes there are. Check out https://ut.no/utforsker/stedsnavn/616580/nordfjordeid/turforslag Norwegian site, but you see the Maps. These two are the ones with easiest access, : https://ut.no/turforslag/117532310/fottur-til-ossetra-i-stad-kommune https://ut.no/turforslag/11322074/utsikta-pa-eid-i-stad-kommune The second link are very common for tourists to walk, but the map on the link are not showing the most common starting point. You can check out this YouTube link for that hike (with the more common starting point) : https://youtu.be/kpjIgUlbB3Q?feature=shared Or you could just hike along the road on the South side of the fjord.... There are probably also electric bikes for hire... A nice trip to bike a few km east to Hornindalsvatnet lake..

.......... Its from 2026....... The regulation are for the world heritage fjords... Geiranger, Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord (Flåm)

Not so easy to predict weather, but mid august is normally quite warm, ill guess between 15 to 20 degrees, higher if sunny... August is warmer than May. Could be rain, recommend you to check weather on https://www.yr.no/en a few days before you visit.

You find tours and car rental in this link.. If you are coming on the 14th or 15th it seems that there are available tickets to Briksdal. https://www.fjordex.no/

For Nordfjordeid i think its quite easy to book something on your own. Check www.fjordex.no Nordfjordeid is a really nice port, www.portofnordfjordeid.no for more info.
