★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 175 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $107Top rated

Spend about six hours traveling from Bergen to Hardangerfjord with an English-speaking guide such as Bas, Nika, or Neka. See Fossen Bratte, walk behind Steinsdalsfossen, visit Norheimsund and 5,000-year-old rock carvings, and enjoy Norwegian waffles with a local apple drink. The tour ends at Bryggen.

“My husband and I went on the Chasing the Waterfalls tour with Bas and Goran and we had a fantastic time. It was the perfect length of time (9-15), great price, and we saw parts of the country we wouldn't have been able to see, otherwise. You can tell Bas and Goran are good at their job because we saw some incredible waterfalls and usually we were the only people at the location. Most waterfalls had a high and low viewing point and Bas always gave us his recommendations on which option was best for the group. This tour was the highlight of our trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · 4 to 7 hours (approx.)

Leave Bergen by private yacht with Captain Svein or Karsten, pass Bryggen and the Nordhordland Bridge, then follow Osterfjorden to Mostraumen, Bergsåa, and the quiet village of Mo. You get waterfalls, onboard snacks and drinks, WiFi, a restroom, and time for lunch, swimming, or a waterfall shower.

“Taking this Fjord private cruise was a bit of a splurge on our trip to Noraway. There was just five of us on the boat so we felt ridiculously spoiled between the fresh strawberries, snacks, and libations. We throughly enjoyed our day on the water with our captain Svein who was friendly enough without being intrusive. We especially liked our visit to the small village of Mo. Beautiful!”

He was very friendly but would only talk when we asked something or started a discussion. We loved this attitude. Not only highly recommended , but also a must-do while you are visiting Bergen.”
