City or Fjordcruise by Zodiac Speedboat or Lux Pontoon Boat
Make the most of your time in Norway—and enjoy an unparalleled perspective on the surrounding region’s fjord scenery—on this private, customizable boat tour. Pick between half- and full-day tour options, and set off directly from your hotel or port in a private vehicle. Upon arrival at the departure point, climb aboard a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RIB) and discover the fjords from the water’s edge. Comfortable and accessible for visitors young and old, this tour takes all the hassle out of discovering the region.
Highlights
- ✓See Norway’s fjords without the crowds on this private boat tour
- ✓Pick between convenient morning and afternoon tour times
- ✓Hotel or port pickup and drop-off are included to make logistics easy
- ✓See a perspective on the spectacular scenery that many tourists miss
What you'll see & do
- ✓Pickup in Bergen (Hotel or Airbnb) Your day starts the easy way: we pick you up wherever you stay in central Bergen. No meeting-point stress, no taxis, no guessing. You just step outside and we take care of the rest.
- ✓Boarding & “the fjord becomes private” This is where the day flips from car transfer / sightseeing to real fjord immersion. We board our specially built Pontoon / Zodiac, designed for efficiency and a light footprint, and head into a fjord area that stays remarkably untouched because very few people ever reach it. Think: fewer crowds, more silence, more “how is this real?” moments.
- ✓Twin waterfall from the sea The fjord bends, the cliffs rise, and suddenly a twin waterfall drops straight into the water from high above. From land it’s impressive. From the sea, with the sound bouncing between rock walls, it feels like you’ve stumbled into a hidden amphitheater built by nature.
- ✓The roadless fjord arm. Now we enter the secret ingredient: Veafjorden. A narrow, dramatic fjord arm with towering cliffs and emerald water, and almost no signs of modern life. No highway noise. No tour-bus rhythm. Just the kind of scenery most travelers never see because there’s simply no road to follow. This is the stop that turns “nice fjord tour” into “best day of the entire trip”.
- ✓At Stamnes village you have the photo opportunity of a real Viking ship and can see the "Brørvikskuto" which is built upon shipbuilder traditions that stretch over 1200 years back. At the very same time you are in the very cradle of the Norwegian Salmon heritage that has led to the export of Norwegian farmed salmon that finds its way to all corners of the world. Listen to how it all happened from the smiling skipper.
- ✓8,000 years of human story This is where your fjord day gains depth. Skipshelleren is an ancient Stone Age site where humans lived thousands of years before Norway was even a thought. You’re not just looking at scenery anymore. You’re stepping into a timeline that stretches back 8,000 years. Quiet. Powerful. Unforgettable.
- ✓The fjord’s heartbeat in motion. A narrow outlet. A sudden surge. The fjord literally moves here. Bolstadstraumen is one of the strongest tidal currents in the region, and you feel the energy in the water as it funnels through like the fjord is breathing. It’s a short stop, but it hits hard, because it’s raw nature, up close.
- ✓Final landing + scenic return by Train or Car We land in a small rural fjord village where the water meets the Vosso River, home to legendary Atlantic salmon. Then, instead of retracing the same route back, your day ends the smart way: A one-way scenic return to Bergen by train (or private vehicle depending on timing). You get fjord views from a new angle and a calm, beautiful landing back in the city. No repetitive “same fjord twice” ride. Just a complete story from start to finish.
- ✓Bergen Railway Station (Final stop in the heart of the city) Your return ends at Bergen Railway Station, right in the center of Bergen. From here, you’re only minutes away from the city’s most central hotels and the cruise port. If you have luggage or prefer not to walk, taxis are always waiting right outside for a quick and easy ride.

SEASONAL PICKUP DETAILS (Oct 1, 2026 to March 30'th 2027) The Bergen City Cruise We meet all travelers at the Fishmarket's right hand side when overlooking the harbor. Walk towards the Bryggen Historic wharf and you will see the boat just outside the Olivia restaurant. Our most popular cruise - the hidden Fjords (5,5 hours roundtrip) To maximize your time in the most scenic part of the fjord, this experience begins with a relaxed and scenic transfer (private car or train) from Bergen city center to our quiet boarding area (approx. 55–60 minutes). Upon arrival, you’ll change into thermal flotation suits designed to keep you warm, comfortable, and fully at ease before boarding. From there, the experience is carefully designed around one core principle: comfort without compromise. We operate with both pontoon boats and rigid inflatable boats (RIB/Zodiac), always selecting the setup that best fits the weather and your group: Pontoon boat: slow-paced, extremely stable, with luxury reclining chairs — ideal for those who want to relax, enjoy the scenery, and stay fully comfortable throughout the journey. RIB/Zodiac: more dynamic, but still operated at a controlled cruising speed (~23 knots) to reduce impact, wind exposure, and fatigue Unlike many high-speed boat tours where guests must remain seated on saddle-style seats or brace themselves against waves, this experience allows you to sit comfortably with full back support at all times. There is no need to stand, hold on tightly, or absorb constant impact — instead, you can stay present, warm, and fully immersed in the fjord landscape. This makes the tour particularly well suited for: Couples and private groups seeking a more refined experience Travelers who value comfort over adrenaline Guests who want to explore deeper into the fjords without physical strain While some tours focus on speed and intensity, this experience focuses on comfort, stability, and depth of experience — allowing you to see more, feel more, and enjoy more without distraction. At the end of your fjord experience, you’ll return to Bergen via a scenic one-way journey, including a short 6–8 minute walk to the train station for the Fjord Train back to the city. Departure direction (morning vs noon): Morning departure: starts with private car from Bergen, returns by scenic train Noon departure: starts with the train from Bergen Station to Bolstad, returns by private car Group size & boats: Each boat accommodates up to 12 travelers. For larger groups, multiple boats can be arranged upon request. We always choose the setup that ensures the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for your specific group and the day’s conditions.
