2.Guided tour to Hardangerfjord with Waterfalls and Ferry Crossing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 49 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $236

Travel from Bergen into Hardangerfjord country by minibus, stopping at waterfalls, orchards, villages, and viewpoints. Guides such as Thomas and Geir provide local stories while ferry crossings connect the scenic roads. This is an 8.5-hour day with a maximum of 18 people.

“Despite some rainy weather, this mini-bus tour was very good. Thomas, our driver and guide, was excellent providing excessive commentary not only about the sights but also many interesting stories about life in Norway. As you would expect, the scenery was spectacular both the visited waterfalls and the fjord. Only slight criticism is that we perhaps made 2 stops more than required (in our personal opinion), or there seemed like some better alternative stops. But overall, we enjoyed our bus-based fjord tour which was a good complement to our other ferry-based fjord tour.”
