This tour has no detailed itinerary online to avoid making it a Instagram "must-see". The preservation of nature is to us as tour operators more important and we want to avoid the area being swarmed by the general cruise or bus tourist visiting Bergen. We take less than 400 persons into this unique fjord area each year in a specially built Zodiac that has a marginal carbon footprint. Utilizing a sturdy catamaran hull and hydrofoil wings we cut emissions by more than 60% compared to any other tour operator. This way - a unique area is for the few that wants to stay away from the more "touristy" places.

Nestled between towering cliffs and emerald waters, Veafjorden is one of Western Norway’s most unspoiled fjords. Stretching 15 km between Vaksdal and Osterøy, this fjord is carved from ancient rock and named after a hidden farm accessible only on foot or by boat. Once home to resting seals and salmon trails, Veafjorden remains off the beaten path — and that’s exactly how we keep it. Its wild beauty, historic bridge, and serene silence make it a rare gem. A peaceful pause on our journey, where nature’s quiet stillness waits just for you.

At the very same time you are in the very cradle of the Norwegian Salmon heritage that has led to the export of Norwegian farmed salmon that finds its way to all corners of the world. Listen to how it all happened from the smiling skipper.

Feel the power of southern Norway’s fastest tidal current—up to 14 knots in spring—at the narrow outlet where Bolstadfjorden surges into Veafjorden. With water rushing through a shallow bottleneck, this is a rare chance to connect with untamed fjord energy—without the crowds. Stand by the water, hear the swirl, and sense the pulse of the fjord in motion.
