From Bergen: Modalen Private Fjord-cruise with Waterfalls

1. From Bergen: Modalen Private Fjord-cruise with Waterfalls

This private boat trip will take you from Bergen through Norway's iconic fjords in Modalen. Experience amazing scenery, including mountains, traditional small villages, and waterfalls. You'll explore the small village of Mo before cruising back to Bergen through Fulufjallet National Park. From your hotel, it is just a few steps to the harbour to meet your friendly captain and guide for the day. As you cruise out of the harbor, you'll gain lovely views of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Bryggen harbor buildings. The captain will make sure you have enough coffee, tea, wine, beer or what you prefer during the whole day. And you can put on your favorite relax-music on the stereo, while enjoying the amazing norwegian nature along the fjord. How often can you enjoy a private luxurious boat like this, with your own captain? Enter the fjords and immerse yourself in a fairytale-like world of natural beauty. Look out to the stretching mountains on the horizon and listen to the softly rippling waters beneath the boat as you pass the towns Sandviken and Eidsvåg. We cruise at slow speed, so you can enjoy the nature and silence all the way up to Modal village. When you arrive at the narrow fjords and remote towns of Modalen, you'll be steered right up to a waterfall to taste the mountain water. Or you can have a shower under the waterfall, on the boats fore-deck. Or go for a quick swim in the fjord under the waterfall. The water is cold and fresh, and we have got a hot shower and towel for you. Your next stop will be the charming village of Mo, where you can take a break if you want, and explore the town of 100 residents at your own, and grab something to eat. We warn you that you will not meet many people here, only some locals- as tis is a very remote ans quite village, with only one grocery-store, and a cafeteria. The last part of the cruise will take you to the breathtaking 90-meter waterfall of the cliff Fulufjallet National Park. Enjoy some more snacks and wine on board as you cruise back along the fjords to Bergen. If you want to try steering the boat, the captain will step aside while you take over the steering. We are looking forward to see you, and we will make this the best day of your vacation.

Private tour: Hardanger Fjord Cruise & Vøringsfoss Waterfall

2. Private tour: Hardanger Fjord Cruise & Vøringsfoss Waterfall

This private guided round trip starts by car in Bergen at 9 AM, lasts for about 9 hours, and will take you through beautiful scenery with views of majestic mountains, roaring waterfalls, and idyllic orchards. During the tour, delight in an express cruise through the spectacular Hardangerfjord, and marvel at the breathtaking Vøringsfossen waterfall. If Sognefjord is the king of the fjords, then Hardangerfjord is the queen. Stretching for 179 kilometers (111 miles), it is the second-largest fjord in Norway and the fourth-largest in the world. Surrounded by towering cliffs, snow-capped mountains, and blossoming fruit trees, this part of Norway is a masterpiece of spellbinding nature, even for the most seasoned traveler. From an open-deck catamaran, admire the natural beauty and breathtaking scenery this area offers. Depart from the charming village of Norheimsund and journey to Eidfljord through a landscape full of historic villages, waterfalls, and orchards. Make sure to have your camera ready! In the distance, see Folgefonna glacier and national park, the third largest glacier in Norway. On the way, the boat stops in Herand, Utne, Lofthus, Kinsarvik, and Ulvik. Upon arrival in Eidfjord, continue by car up 700 meters (almost 2,300 feet) to Vøringsfossen waterfall. See the landscape open up before you as you make your way up, and take a minute to really appreciate the view once you reach the top. Step forward, if you dare, and watch the raging water hit the valley 182 meters (597 feet) below. From Vøringsfossen, take a scenic drive back toward Bergen, passing Hardangerfjord Bridge and Voss town on the way.
