Experience the hidden jewel of the Hardangerfjord with our exhilarating RIB safari through the breathtaking Fyksesund fjord branch. Nestled amidst towering mountainsides and adorned with cascading waterfalls.
Starting from Norheimsund, our RIB sets sail south through the strait and east along the main Hardangerfjord, leading you to the entrance of the Fyksesund fjord. As you venture into the last 5 km of this 10 km long fjord branch, you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time, surrounded by untouched beauty. Our journey culminates with a stop outside the old roadless hamlet of Botnen, adding a touch of historic charm to your adventure.
Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable local captain and guides will make several stops, allowing you to take in the beautiful landscapes. They will also share fascinating insights into the fjord's rich history and vibrant culture.
