Itinerary

Begin your private tour with hotel or port pickup in Bergen, and travel west via Highway 7, one of Norway’s scenic tourist roads, to Hardangerfjord.

On route, hear about the region’s history and nature from your driver-guide, and take in the mountain pastures, deep valleys and pretty villages.

Make photo stops at the waterfalls of Fossen Bratte and Steinsdalsfossen, and see Lake Skåsvatnet, known as the ‘Goldfish Lake’ for its colonies of goldfish. Learn how the fish were released here in 1914 and watch them in the waters.

Continue to Hardangerfjord and soak in the full scale of the mountain-framed inlet as you drive toward the upper end. Then, venture across the Hardangerfjord Bridge, one of the world’s longest suspension bridges, absorbing the incredible surrounding scenery.

On the other side, pass through the town of Eidfjord and stop in Øvre Eidfjord, a tiny village beautifully set beneath the Hardangervidda mountain plateau.

Visit the Hardangervidda Nature Centre (own expense), a cutting-edge museum dedicated to the region’s nature and wildlife. Explore the dioramas and interactive exhibits covering everything from glaciers to zoology, and watch the panoramic film on Hardangervidda and Hardangerfjord — an immersive journey through the area's waterfalls, canyons and glaciers.

Next up, head to a cozy restaurant specializing in authentic Norwegian cuisine. Enjoy lunch here (own expense) before continuing to Vøringfossen, Norway’s biggest waterfall. Enjoy the views of this precipitous fall, whose waters plunge 597 feet (182 meters) from the Hardangervidda plateau into a narrow valley.

Finally, take a different route back to Bergen, where your tour ends at the start point.

A wonderful day, catching rainbows in the waterfall

Rochelle_S, Aug 2023
Although I was a little nervous, making this arrangement months ago in a country I’ve never been to….the communication was wonderful and we had an awesome guide Ivan, who really made our day! He customized our day as we requested and got us to our sauna experience on time. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant and it was an incredible day. THANK YOU IVAN!!!

Nice road trip to waterfalls, nature center, and fjords

David_P, Aug 2023
This road trip was a nice complement to taking a typical fjord cruise, offering a different perspective on the fjords. One also gets to walk behind a roaring waterfall, and above one of Norway's largest waterfalls. A highlight of the visit to the nature center was the helicopter-filmed tour of the region. Our amicable guide, Lorenzo, was informative and interactive.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear David, Thank you, I will pass your thanks to our wonderful guide Lorenzo! Come back this summer to explore our Sognefjord tour! Best Regards, Elena Easy Travel Team

Tour was fantastic. Saw many beautiful sights, amazing waterfalls and our guide was very knowledgeable!

Viator needs to include itineraries to avoid overlap

Donald_W, May 2023
Viator needs to include itineraries with all thereTours, so that you do not book over lapping tours. Booked 3 tours, all of which overlaped. If we had the planned stops, we would have booked differently. Very disappointed that we wasted a day. Request a refund

Breathtaking

HEATHER_B, Jan 2023
Th fjords are breathtaking. We were lucky enough to drive through their amazing tunnel system take the boat then head to the overlook. The pictures just do not it justice. I loved it

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Heather, Thank you for such a lovely feedback! Welcome back to explore more fjords all around the Norway :) Best Regards, Elena Easy Travel Team

Wonderful day trip

Glenna_B, Aug 2022
This was a fantastic day trip. GG was our driver for the day. He kept us very informed about everything that we were seeing. Gave us plenty of time at each stopping point. Insured our safety. Was very concerned that he left with 4 and returned with 4. He also adjusted our schedule by picking us at the cruise port and dropping us off at our hotel. He went out of his way to make our day memorable

Great day out with great people

XinJie_L, Jul 2019
Igor and his partner Timo (I hope I got their names right) were very punctual when picking us up and they were very knowledgable and happy to share with us all about Bergen, Hardangerfjord and Norway in general. The van was quite spacious and comfortable and it was very easy to talk to them to adjust our trip to include or exclude itinerary. The weather was not the best that day, but we had fun listening to our guides about the beautiful nature. The prices may seem high, but it is worth it. Would recommend to other people (especially big families). Thank you for the trip.

This was a marvelous trip to marvelous scenic spots in Norway. The guide was super nice (we even used him to go to the airport). He was exactly on time. He had a good knowledge of what he was showing us. The electric car was quite comfortable and roomy.
