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.
