“Such a beautiful tour, incredible scenery and comfortable too.”
Small-group Mostraumen fjord cruise from Bergen, 3.5 hours on calm water through Osterfjord to dramatic cliffs and waterfalls.
“Absolutely stunning scenery throughout the cruise. It was cloudy and misty which added to the aura. The boat was comfortable and had free wifi, although was a bit patchy. One thing was that there was an opening on the floor of the boat to an underground area. This was meant to be closed, but remained open ( due to negligence) and we took the seat right next to this. We didn't notice the opening but luckily did not fall down. This could've been dangerous and could have injured us.”

We came to Norway from New York via a cruise, and she took us on a tour throughout the fjords near Bergen, making stops at breathtaking views including waterfalls and century old rock paintings. She gave insight on what it's like to live in Bergen and Norway and the history of the people and nature there. Also really enjoyed taking the ferry ride across the fjord!”

“We booked this trip because we wanted a completely different way to experience the fjords, and it certainly did not disappoint. Seeing the stunning Norwegian landscape from the water gave us a totally unique perspective that you simply would not get any other way. Our guide was exceptional throughout – friendly, knowledgeable, and professional – and made us feel safe and comfortable on the RIB at all times, even when travelling at speed. It was an unforgettable experience and one we would highly recommend to anyone looking to see the fjords from a new and exciting viewpoint.”

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Norway.”

“Our guide Oystein took us to a great hiking trail overlooking the intersection of two fjords. Our small group was pretty experienced in hikes so he adapted to our very fast speed by adding an extra sightseeing spot to the tour which was amazing. The snacks he provided when we came down the mountain were mighty tasty local specialties as well. Recommended!”
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
