On this boat cruise you can marvel at steep mountains, cascading waterfalls and with a little luck, seals lounging on the rocky shore or eagles soaring above your head.
On the way from Bergen you will have a great view of the famous Bryggen and the old city of Bergen. You will sail under the Nordhordalandsbrua on the Osterfjord, then enter the Mostraumen, where the fjord becomes really narrow. Sail past several waterfalls and around Osteroy, making a stop at Heskjedalsfossen, a twin waterfall.
There is an abundance of wildlife in the area and you can often see seals, goats and eagles.
Lunch in the longhouse? If Norway's Viking heritage fascinates, a visit to the Lofotr Museum is a great place to start. Ponder ancient artefacts unearthed in the area, and learn how the Vikings lived and worked. Grab lunch in the longhouse for a real taste of Norway.
