Discover the highlights of Hardanger on a guided bus tour featuring the Hardangerfjord, Steinsdalsfossen waterfall, Stone Age rock carvings, a visit to the Maritime Centre — and a local Hardanger apple dessert.
This guided tour takes you from Bergen to the heart of Hardanger, a region known for majestic fjords, famous waterfalls, and strong craft traditions. Your local guide shares stories about the landscapes and communities you pass along the way.
The tour departs from Strandkaien 17 at 09:15 and from the Jekteviken Cruise Terminal at 09:30, returning around 15:45.
You’ll visit several Hardanger highlights, including the iconic Steinsdalsfossen, where you can walk safely behind the waterfall, and nearby Stone Age rock carvings, offering a glimpse into the area’s ancient past.
In Norheimsund, the “capital” of the fjord region, you’ll explore the Hardanger Maritime Centre, a living museum where traditional boatbuilding and maritime craftsmanship are still practiced.
