Overview

The region of the Hardangerfjord – the fifth longest fjord in the world and the second longest fjord in Norway – has attracted people for millennia: first people came here after the last Ice Age around 7000 BC, the Vikings used its waterways, medieval farmers settled its fertile shores, poets and artists of the Romantic era visited the fjord for inspiration, tourists from abroad started coming here 200 years ago. The majestic beauty of this area is the reason. Experience Norway's magnificent nature concentrated in Hardanger region: you will see lush valleys, barren mountain landscapes, raging waterfalls and, of course, the Queen of the Fjords—the Hardangerfjord—on a 3-hour relaxing fjord cruise. Your own professional driver-guide provides interesting commentary to the sights and general information about Norway. Car on this tour is one of our Mercedes minivans or Tesla Model X (for 3 and less people). All of our cars have Norwegian Passenger Transport License.

When we have passed the village of Eidfjord, a popular cruise ship destination, we drive to Øvre Eidfjord, where we visit the "Norwegian Nature Center – Hardanger", a museum and visitor center of the Hardangervidda National Park, dedicated to flora, fauna, geology and history of the region. There you may also watch a new panoramic film "Norway my country - fjords, mountains, waterfalls and Hardangervidda" a spectacular journey through fjords and mountain landscapes and mighty waterfalls. It is a beautiful film on panoramic screen about the magnificent sights on Hardangervidda plateau. After the museum, there will be time for lunch at a cozy yet spacious café.

Our next stop, and the main destination of the journey, is Vøringsfossen waterfall, 182 metres (597 ft) tall, located at the very end of Måbødalen valley where the Hardangervidda begins. The viewpoint consists of several secure platforms overhanging the waterfall and the canyon. The view is mesmerizing: raging waters falling to the bottom of the canyon, the rugged valley with a stream meandering below surrounded by lush yet fragile tundra landscape.In case we have enough time, we may continue farther up into the Hardangervidda plateau above the timberline – where the landscape changes and we find ourselves in bare mountain landscape surrounded by rock and lichen.After Vøringsfossen waterfall, and possibly a short ride up the Hadangervidda plateau, we return to Bergen: the road goes back to the Hardangerfjord, across the bridge and via the town of Voss. The tour ends in Bergen.
