Our guide was incredible. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and Norway itself. Turns out she has a PhD in Norwegian history. She was fun and very accommodating. The first two foods, the fish cake and the salmon bun were not that thrilling. However, the other three places we went were phenomenal.

Mostraumen Fjord Cruise – the local operator

Megan_A, Nov 2026

You've probably never seen anything like this

You can stay in the cabin or experience the adventure of the wind whipping your hair, and the sights boggling your mind, while also delighting your eyes on this fantastic fjord cruise in Bergen. Clocking in at 3.5 hours, this cruise serves as a great way to spend a half day on the waters near this history-filled city. While snacks and drinks are available for purchase, it's cheaper to board the boat with items you've already purchased at one of the one million 7-Eleven stores or readily available grocery stores. My best advice: get out of the cabin and stand on the top deck of the vessel for fabulous and naturally theatrical 360-degree scenes as you fly through the water. Take a video of the approximately two-minute approach as you return to the harbor, where on the starboard side, you get an excellent view of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen. It is also an excellent value for the money (I went in the off season--end of October). Enjoy!

Wonderful journey up the Fjord!

We had a lovely ride up a beautiful fjord with excellent commentary on the areas we were seeing and its history and legends. All of the staff were lovely and there was a comfortable and very clean handicap bathroom. I use a small foldup walker and it was an easy on and off with a ramp.We saw such gorgeous scenery and wonderful waterfalls. Snacks and drinks were reasonable aboard. We recommend the Skillingsbolle.... delicious!

Awesome tour with Vibeke!

It was a brilliantly organized tour with tour guide Vibeke and driver Victoria, who supported us all day long in an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful manner! I have rarely experienced such a diverse tour with so many new impressions! It was a perfect mix of nature, culture, adventure, relaxation, and sightseeing. I would book the excursion again in a heartbeat!

Amazing, beautiful...

Amazing, beautiful fjords! The cruise itself was great, comfortable and relaxing. The glass windows are large enough to take photos from the warm cabin inside, but I had the best time being outside with the nature and the breeze. We were very lucky to have sunny, clear weather, although that meant the waterfalls in the fjords did not have much water to show for like usual but still a pleasant cruise. Autumn season still gave the fjords a lovely yellow-and-green fall foliage color.

Excellent & Well-Organized Day Tour

This was an excellent and well-organized tour with Travel North! Our guide, V was fun and helpful, sharing stories about all our destinations and keeping everyone entertained. We were able to stay on schedule to see all the destinations on the itinerary, despite some group members being a little inconsiderate of instructions at times. We traveled on the same bus throughout the whole day, so we were able to leave personal belongings there comfortably. The bus was clean, air-conditioned, and had charging ports which was convenient. We didn't feel like we needed to take much with us every time we got off the bus, except for a water bottle during the hike and any personal essentials like phone/camera, lip balm, etc. There were lots of stops for bathroom breaks and cafes/drinks/snacks along the way. The hike to Bondhus Lake was fairly easy and took about an hour and a half total from the starting point to the lake all the way back to the bus (depending on your pace). The views were incredible and it was wonderful seeing all the little towns and villages, learning about their traditions and culture, and meeting locals throughout the tour. We got really lucky with sunny weather, but I would recommend wearing light, breathable/comfortable clothing and bringing a hat and raincoat just in case. I wore hiking boots, but regular sneakers would probably be sufficient for the whole day. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to the area.

Excellent!

Positively: - The driver and the guide were perfect! -The program was executed with minute precision! -The meal was careful and the port of Gudvagen was served inside the restaurant. Less Positive: If possible, during the bus journey, less historical analysis from the guide...

The pretty Norwegian city of Bergen has many nicknames, including “the heart of the fjords” and “the city of seven mountains.” It’s no surprise, then, that so many Bergen tours are outdoor excursions. Marvel at the majesty of the fjords on a boat ride, spend a day seeing the many dramatic waterfalls in the area, or go on a guided hike through the mountains. In the city itself, you can also join a guide for a walk through the historic wharf, fortress, and market.

What are the best tours in Bergen?

Are guided tours in Bergen worth it?

Yes, guided tours in Bergen are worth it. Local guides unlock the stories behind Bryggen's medieval alleyways and the wider fjord landscape, which would be hard to piece together if exploring on your own. Walking tours keep things compact and affordable, while boat and kayak options add a fresh perspective on the city's waterways. Full-day tours to destinations such as Nærøyfjorden, Flåm, and Folgefonna Glacier handle all transportation and logistics.

Per one customer who booked the City Walking Tour—Bergen On Foot, "Martin was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about Bergen and about Norway. He patiently answered all of our questions. It was like walking through the city with an old friend."

How much do Bergen tours cost?

You can find self-guided Bergen walking tours for less than US$10, while guided group tours typically start from US$12 and private experiences begin at around US$60. Mostraumen Fjord cruises cost around US$90 at the lower end, while full-day fjord excursions and multi-activity tours sit in the $200–$450 range. Private group tours can run into the thousands depending on duration and group size.

For a scenic introduction to the fjords at a lower price point, the Bergen Mostraumen Fjord Cruise with Local Guide costs US$90 per person. This is a group cruise departing from central Bergen, which covers around 3.5 hours on the water with expert commentary, but without hotel pickup. Private, premium options include the Private Cruise: Mostraumen by Zodiac or Lux Pontoon Boat, which costs around US$570 per person and includes hotel pickup, a full-day fjord experience aboard a small vessel, and access to remote areas larger boats can't reach.

What activities are included on Bergen tours?

Bergen tours cover a wide range of activities to suit most interests and energy levels. You can join a walking tour of Bryggen and the city center, cruise the fjords by boat or kayak, hike Mt. Fløyen or the surrounding mountains, go white-water rafting in Voss, sample local food on a culinary walk, or take a full-day trip out to glaciers and waterfalls, such as those at Folgefonna or Hardangerfjord.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the 2-Day Round Trip from Bergen: THE GRAND SOGNEFJORD—Fjords, Waterfalls, Glacier takes you deep into Western Norway's most spectacular scenery, covering a UNESCO–listed fjord cruise on Næroyfjord, a ride on the Flåmsbana mountain railway, a visit to the 12th-century Borgund Stave Church, a hike to Nigardsbreen Glacier, and a stop at the Stegastein Viewpoint.
