About this activity

Discover Western Norway's most iconic fjord and alpine scenery in a single 9-hour private day trip from Bergen. This curated itinerary combines the dramatic Hardangerfjord—Norway's second longest—with four spectacular waterfalls, a ride on the modern Voss Gondola, and exclusive viewpoints rarely seen by casual visitors.

Join a private Hardangerfjord tour from Bergen and experience some of Western Norway’s most spectacular natural attractions in one unforgettable day. This scenic fjord tour combines the beauty of Hardangerfjord, four famous Norwegian waterfalls, and a panoramic ride with the Voss Gondola.

Travel along Norway’s second longest fjord and enjoy breathtaking views of mountains, fruit orchards, waterfalls, and charming fjord villages such as Norheimsund, Øystese, and Eidfjord. With a private local guide, you’ll gain insight into the history, culture, and natural forces that shaped this iconic fjord landscape.

During the tour, you will visit four of the region’s most impressive waterfalls:

  • Steinsdalsfossen – walk behind the waterfall
  • Vøringsfossen (182 meters) – one of Norway’s most famous waterfalls
  • Skjervsfossen – dramatic twin waterfalls
  • Fossen Bratte – a scenic waterfall near Norheimsund

At the famous Fossli Hotel viewpoint, enjoy spectacular views over Måbødal Valley and Vøringsfossen canyon — one of the most photographed natural attractions in Norway.

In Voss, take the modern  Voss Gondola from the train station to Mount Hanguren (820 meters above sea level). From the top, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lakes, a highlight of any fjord tour from Bergen.

Insider tips

  • Visit in spring (April–June) when waterfall volume peaks from snowmelt—Vøringsfossen is at its most powerful and visually striking
  • Bring a waterproof jacket and secure footwear; the walk behind Steinsdalsfossen involves wet, slippery conditions
  • Arrive early at the Fossli Hotel viewpoint to avoid crowds and capture the best light for photography
  • Request your guide focus on specific waterfalls or photography angles if you have particular interests

Good to know

  • Private tour includes dedicated local guide who provides historical and cultural context throughout
  • 9-hour duration allows unhurried exploration; confirm exact pickup time with supplier the day before
  • Waterfall access and gondola operation are weather-dependent; tours proceed in light rain but may be rescheduled in severe conditions
  • Comfortable walking shoes and layered clothing essential; temperatures drop significantly at Mount Hanguren's 820m elevation
  • Tour departs from Bergen; confirm hotel pickup availability when booking
