Great fjordcruise from Bergen city. A full day of relaxation and lovely nature, beautiful fjords, mountains, waterfalls. Nice boat, nice crew, and this fjord is probably the best option for a daytrip in Bergen. We were a family of 8, and everybody enjoyed the cruise. Captain had some bottles of wine, coffee, tea, snacks, bottled water, all very well arranged.

Glacier cruise to the Folgefonna glacier, with fjord cruise and VIP car transportation. Typically we start around 10:00, you are picked up on in the hotel garden, next to the swimming pool. We cruise out the Hardanger Fjord to the village Jondal, where our VIP car (BMW X5) is waiting for you. We continue up to the Folgefonna glacier, about 19 km. Up at the glacier, we can either just walk over to the glacier for a look, touch and feel, or hire a (VIP) guided tour on the glacier for typically 3 hours. When finished on the glacier, we drive back down to the village. We can have lunch at the local Jondal hotel, or continue to Odda city by car for lunch, with some more options. After lunch we drive to the Låtefoss waterfall 15 minutes up the valley from Odda, spectacular waterfall. Return to hotel by car, and we should be back around 18:00. With this you have a full day Hardanger excursion with yacht and VIP car, and will explore many of the villages and attractions along the fjord.

We arrived in Eidfjord by car from Oslo around 3 PM, and our travel agent had booked this boat for a fjord cruise to Ullensvang. It was planned to do a detour via Fyksesund, which should be a good spot. Boat was ready in Eidsfjord when we arrived, and after a short stroll in the streets with some lovely icecream from a small shop, we went onboars the boat. We had no rush at all, and agreed with the captain to take it easy most of the time, slow cruising to enjoy the fjord. After a while we arrived Fyksesund fjord, and as the rumors said- it was a lovely place. We cruised in the fjord towards several small waterfalls, and have never seen something like this. Captain manouvered the boat into the waterfall, and my wife got on the foredeck to have a shower under it, even though it was a little cold it was an amazing experience. We opened a bottle of wine and njoyed the rest of the cruise, heading for our hotel at Lofthus. We must say that this cruise made the day for us, and the fjords live up to its rumor, LOVELY!!

Gorgeous views and in general everything that was surrounding was incredible, amazing and will be remembered for a lifetime. We traveled all over Iceland, got wet while was seeing waterfalls, froze, almost did not sleep, but it was the coolest trip, which I would love to repeat. For me personally it was important to go on such a trip with experienced travelers... the guys have all the sleeping bags, tents. They help around and everywhere. It is so convenient, there’s nothing to worry about, just enjoy the views.

7. Private Trolltunga Guided Hike

B-Active Center Ulvik, Tyssevikvegen 31, 5730 Ulvik, Norway B-Active Center

A Norwegian “must do”! The trip starts by driving you along the beautiful Hardanger Fjord. Along the way you will cross Europe’s largest suspension bridge and see many fruit farms. From Tyssedal we start the hike to one of the world’s most famous attractions “Trolltunga”. Lace your boots tightly and bring your camera! Our experienced guide will take you to the Trolltunga cliff at 1100 meters altitude. The view will take your breath away while you are standing on a small piece of rock 700 meters above Ringedalsvatnet lake. The trail is 25 kilometers long and goes through steep forest terrain, moon-like flatlands, marshes, snowfields and a rocky mountain trail. This is Norway at its best! During the hike, the guide will show and demonstrate many survival/bushcraft skills, and will prepare for you a tea at the Troll Tunga cliffside. This will be an adventurous and educational experience.

We got Vlad as our driver/guide and had the best time ever. Our group was late and he patiently waited for us, and then gave us one of the best experiences ever. We were a group of yarnlovers and he took us to 2 yarn factories, arranged a small tour for us there, showed us some waterfalls outside the city, stopped for toilet breaks and chatted and laughed with us. He was so knowledgeable and this was an excellent way to see the sights of Bergen. We can highly recommend him and this tour to anyone.
