10.Guided tour to Hardanger Fjord, Waterfalls and Ferry Crossing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 22 reviews · from $401

Explore Hardangerfjord from Bergen with waterfalls, mountain roads, two ferry crossings, village stops, and local stories for $401.

“It is truly a relaxed 10 hour trip as the pickup and drop-off are from the hotel, which in rain-frequent Bergen is quite a boon, and little walking involved. The trip circumnavigates the enchanting Hardanger fjord, taking us through jaw-dropping waterfalls, mesmerising scenery and numerous tunnels.. The waffle-coffee break was a bit underwhelming as we were served pancakes and substandard coffee. Thomas, our guide-cum-driver, was very knowledgeable and a great story-teller with interesting anecdotes and fun-facts. The Mercedes van was comfortable though one missed onboard wifi, so essential for a whole day trip nowadays. Highly recommended.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 12 reviews · 2 hours · from $152

Ride a small RIB from Odda across Hardangerfjord, with mountain views, fruit farms, local history, and an English-speaking guide.

“It was it but i found the value for the price paid terrible. Basically we went into a speed style boat and sped up to a couple locations with some vague descriptions of where we stopped . Next we dropped off some tourists who were doing another tour then we went back to the launch . Totally fine way to spend a couple of hours but outrageous prove for what was pretty much a ferry service one could have done for 75% less than the price i paid”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 7 reviews · 10 hours · from $979

Review of Bergen’s private Hardangerfjord tour, with scenic Highway 7, waterfalls, Vøringfossen, bridge views, costs, and practical tips.

“It was raining during our tour that was also hindered by road constructions but Lorenzo was accommodating and flexible and made the trip a success. We enjoyed the waterfalls (we actually went under one of them) and going around the Hardangerfjord, shopping and lunch pick up at Voss. We wished we had more time. One of us unknowingly left a wallet with money in his van. He sent a message with picture. We were already sailing but he worked it out so that he could return it electronically. What more can you ask for. Lorenzo, you are the best. Thank you for a wonderful tour.”
