Why take this tour?
Starting from Øystese, prepare to weave through the main fjord before delving into the mystical Fyksesund. Here, mountains soar up to 1000 meters, setting a dramatic backdrop for your expedition. As your RIB powers through the waters, your captain and guide will pause at significant locales, enriching your journey with captivating narratives about the fjord's history and its former inhabitants.
The spectacle continues with close encounters with numerous waterfalls, their misty sprays a refreshing reminder of nature's vitality. The tour reaches a crescendo at Botnen, an authentic, roadless village nestled at the fjord's edge, where age-old traditions linger and stories of expansive cultural exchanges defy the community's physical isolation.
Guaranteed departures run from May through September, with the flexibility of private bookings available year-round upon request. For those seeking extended exploration, consider the Hardangerfjord RIB adventure, a 90-minute comprehensive experience with earlier departures.
Not recommended for travelers with back problems and for pregnant travelers (over 3 months)
