Thunder across the Hardangerfjord and deep into its wildest branches aboard a powerful RIB, guided by a local expert. Soaring cliff walls, cascading waterfalls, and an almost total absence of other vessels make this the definitive fjord encounter.
What to expect
Don a weatherproof suit and lifejacket before your expert local skipper rockets you out onto the deep blue Hardangerfjord. The RIB weaves between dramatic cliff faces that plunge vertically into the water, pausing at roaring waterfalls where spray drifts over the bow. Remote coves and mirror-still branches reveal landscapes untouched by mass tourism. The entire journey is narrated with insider knowledge of the geology, folklore, and wildlife of Hardanger.
