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.

We pick you up from any hotel, and go by our VIP car towards Norheimsund, and the Hardangerfjord region. On the way we stop by two large waterfalls: Fossen Bratte, and Steinsdalsfossen, the last one you can walk behind. We continue to Norheimsund, and change over to the waiting boat, M/Y Iselina Bella, a Princess 50. From Norheimsund we cruise into the narrow, remote and undiscovered pristine Fyksesund fjord, which is only accessible by boat. We stay in here for a couple of hours, just to enjoy the silence in the nice nature, between the steep mountains, with waterfalls directly down to the fjord. You can have a drink from the waterfalls if you like, a shower under them, or a swim in the fjord. When we are happy with the fjord, we cruise back to Norheimsund for lunch at Thon Hotel Sandven, and car back to Bergen. Typically we will be back around 6 PM
Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Snacks, Soda/Pop, Bottled water

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.

We cruise with our boat from Solstrand and in the Hardanger Fjord to Jondal village, where our VIP car is waiting to take you up to the Folgefonna Glacier, about 19 km from the harbour. We reccomend lunch in Jondal before going up to the glacier. Private glacier tour can be ordered with guide, please see folgefonni-breforarlag.no/en_GB When finished we go back down in our car, where the boat is waiting, and cruise back to Solstrand. Lunch onboard if wanted, or at one of the hotels in Jondal. Another option is to go by car back to Solstrand, and explore new places on the way, via Norheimsund. Very nice experience of the Norwegian Fjords, nature and glacier.

We stayed at Solstrand Hotel for some days, and had various day excursions there. We also wanted a fjordcruise, and decided to do this as a cruise back to the airport After check out. So the boat picked us up outside the hotel around 10 in the morning, there is a quay in the garden at the hotel. We didnt quite know what we wanted to see, but the captain was local, and cruised between islands and some fjords towards Bergen and the airport. He asked if we wanted to stop for some fishing, which we did. Got some fishes, wich we let go again. We spent about 5 hours on the boat, just perfect before the flight back home. Captain ordered taxi from the pier close to airport for us. Very good service onboard the boat, with snacks and refreshments included, we also had some wine. Lovely weather tjhis day. So all in all a great ending for our Norway vacation.

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!!

We take you from Hotel Ullensvang to the long and narrow pristine fjord Fyksesund, and back to Ullensvang. Cruising time to Fyksesund is about 1 hour at full speed, but we prefer to go slow to enjoy the nice nature, fjord and view. We have no rush, we want to give you the best possible experience. Nice nature, beautiful fjords, high mountains. In the pristine Fyksesund fjord, you will explore the narrow and undiscovered fjord with only untouched nature, waterfalls and silence. No cruise-ships, and not many people. We enjoy the waterfalls directly down to the boat, where you can have a shower if you want, or taste the fresh mountain water. Enjoy the silence, or go for a swim in the fjord. Always snacks and refreshments included in the cruise, or enjoy the food you bring along on our panoramic-view Flybridge. Lunch onboard if ordered, or we can stop at a restaurant along the route. When finished, we slowly cruise back to the hotel. We guarantee a nice day on the fjord :)

After some days at Hotel Ullensvang we were heading back home, and got to know about this fjordcruise company. We sent a mail two days before departure, and was lucky they had a spot available just the day we were leaving. So we got picked up in the garden in front of the hotel after checkout, where the hotel staff carried our luggage over to the boat. Captain helped us bring it onboard, and guided us up to the top deck for the best view of the fjord. We started slowly, and we got a brief of the cruise, and also some coffee and tea served, and available the whole trip. Boat was nice, and so was the captain. Lovely nature during the cruise, and about half way we had lunch at a restaurant, this was arranged by the boat company for us. Near the airport it was ordered taxi for us, and we were picked up by the driver directly from the boat. Great service all the way from hotel to airport, and a lovely fjordcruise with all the scenery all the way. We reccomend it, absolutely. You can also do the cruise the other way, from Bergen to Ullensvang. Great day at the fjord!!

We took this gorgeous tour even without any info, but it was the best part of our trip! Well-Organised, fast and comfortable. Every point was perfectly organised with the help of guide, who told us facts about sights all the way, he pointed the best views for making photos, this is very important for me as tourist. All transport tickets were sent to us, we didn't have any problems. Next time in Bergen we obviously would take these tours. Recommend! Recommend! Recommend!
