The tour starts by boat from Norheimsund quay at 09:00 and you can choose whether you want to get off in Herand, Utne, Lofthus, Kinsarvik, Ulvik or join in at the very end of the fjord to the village of Eidfjord.
On your trip, you’ll experience beautiful villages and settlements surrounded by majestic mountains with snow-capped peaks. If you travel early in the season, April/May, you may be lucky enough to see the beautiful blossoms in all the orchards along the fjord. It’s a beautiful sight and well worth taking in.
The villages along the Hardangerfjord offer activities such as cycling, trips by rib boat, kayak, canoe, art and culture. There are also many opportunities for nice hikes, such as Dronningstien, the 4 waterfalls in Husedalen, a trip to the foot of Vøringsfossen to name but a few.

Local tips along the route
Ulvik
This fruit-growing village is idyllically located at the innermost part of the Hardangerfjord, between the fjord, mountains, glaciers and blossoming fruit trees. The village even has its own fruit and cider route – the only one in Norway. Here we recommend you take the trip, either on foot, or you can rent a bike at B-Active and explore the area. You can choose whether you want to visit one or more of the fruit farms; Ulvil frukt & cideri, Syse Gård or Hardanger saft og ciderfabrikk. Programs and opening hours may vary.
