A fabulous trip to Langfoss waterfall, which is spectacular. Stopped for photos. Hans is an excellent and entertaining tourist guide who showed us around Haugesand and told us some very interesting facts about the city. I definitely recommend this trip.

One of the best ways to see the delights of Norway, and our driver was an absolute joy, even treating us to a traditional Norwegian lullaby. He was fun and very knowledgeable and even showed us where he lived as we went 'off road' through some of the little villages, as well as seeing the spectacular Langfoss waterfalls

    Itinerary

    Upon arrival in Haugesund, meet your guide just steps from the dock, jump on board your vehicle, and settle in for a drive of around 1.5 hours to the dramatic Langfoss waterfall. Along the way, make a stop at the Haraldshaugen national monument, which commemorates the unification of Norway in a single kingdom.

    You'll have around 30 minutes at the powerful Langfoss waterfall, which drops around 2,000 feet (600 meters) down to the fjord below. That's plenty of time to soak up the waterfall's fairy tale-like landscape, surrounded by steep mountains , and take photos before returning to the port in time for your cruise's departure.

    The tour took us through some beautiful scenic areas and ultimately to the Langfoss waterfall which was spectacular! Our guide, Lilly, and bus driver Gary, were excellent. Lilly gave us lots of information about this area of Norway and had lots of facts for us. I would highly recommend this tour!

    Helpful and understanding

    Unfortunately we were unable to go on this trip as our ship was unable to dock due to high winds. Our tour operator was very understanding and gave us a refund despite the late notice. Would certainly use again if we return due to their kindness. The information we received before our trip was excellent and we were given lots of instructions regarding times and meeting place.

    Enjoyable experience

    Great Waterfall

    Connie_C, Oct 2025
    It's 1.5 hours from the cruise port to reach Langfoss Waterfall but it was a terrific waterfall. Afterwards we were able to stop by a restaurant/convenience store for a quick bite before heading back to Haugesund.

    Teresa_S, Oct 2025
    It’s an hour and a half bus ride to the falls. But our guide was very entertaining during the ride. We enjoyed seeing he old church and I particularly liked the lullaby that was sung to keep the trolls asleep.

    Fantastic experience

    This trip is incredible. Our guide Aline was so knowledgeable. She kept us all engaged throughout the trip. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and driver Gary. We had a great day out for half the price of the cruise ship tour. Aline and Gary we thank you so much.

    Very interesting tour

    Jana_A, Sep 2025
    It was a very interesting tour. Christina was very friendly and well informed. She told us also many things about Norway, not only about the Langfossen waterfall. We can highly recommend the tour.

    Wonderful waterfall

    Diana_C, Sep 2025
    The guide was excellent however the trip was not the same as what I purchased. We saw only one waterfall and it was lovely but I didn’t feel like I got what I paid for.
