“We had an incredible experience snowshoeing. We had never done it before but it was definitely one of my favorite activities. Rose our guide was the best! In order to do this activity you want to be a moderately active person. You don’t need to be a pro hiker but there is one section where you have a slight incline that can be a little challenging for a few. I would still highly recommend this activity. You get to see the frozen waterfall at the end of the trek and it’s beautiful.”

14.Guided tour to Hardanger Fjord, Waterfalls and Ferry Crossing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 22 reviews · from $401

Local guide Thomas drives and explains Norwegian culture, while two 20-minute ferry crossings add memorable fjord views. Hotel pickup, drop-off, and a group limit of 16 are included.

“Thomas was a fantastic tour guide! He gave us loads of information about the area and Norwegian culture, and was super down to earth and fun to chat with! I am pretty sensitive to motion sickness in the car and the roads are very winding, but Thomas’ driving was very smooth and I did ok on the drive. The best thing about this tour is its uniqueness. It’s the only tour from Bergen that included a little bit of everything - stops to waterfalls, a choice between a sider farm or norheimsund, various scenic stops along Hardangerfjord, and a stop at the town of Odda for some waffles and coffee!…”
