Fjord Trips from Bergen
The six-hour day, stop by stop
Bergen sightseeing for twenty minutes, then fifty on the bus, twenty-five at the Fossen Bratte photo stop, twenty-five more on the bus, twenty in Norheimsund, twenty-five at the Hardangerfjord, fifteen at the Salthammeren Stone Age carvings, fifty at Steinsdalsfossen — the waterfall you can walk behind — then seventy-five back and forty-five at Bryggen before returning to Nøstegaten 40. It runs in an air-conditioned bus or van, in English and German. Non-folding wheelchairs and non-folding strollers are not allowed, and non-skid waterproof shoes are recommended.

The longer and the lunch options
A thirteen-hour Voss farm, Flåm Railway and Nærøyfjord day exists: capped at six, and not suitable for anyone with animal, food or nut allergies — which is an unusually broad exclusion and worth reading twice. A seven-and-a-half-hour Hardangerfjord trip with lunch at Berge Gard & Gartneri is the closest thing in this catalogue to a day trip where the meal is actually the point. Day trips with a meal in them.
What works
- Steinsdalsfossen, with fifty minutes and a path behind the water
- The fjord itself, which is why anyone comes to this coast
- Running commentary in English and German on the six-hour day
- It meets and ends at the Fish Market, Nøstegaten 40
Worth knowing
- One waffle and a small tasting is the whole food content
- Six hours is most of a day; thirteen hours is all of one
- No non-folding wheelchairs or strollers on the six-hour day
- The thirteen-hour day excludes animal, food and nut allergies
If you want food, book the walk instead
Three and a half hours, thirteen tastings, five cafés and restaurants, capped at eight, ending on Mount Fløyen with the funicular on the ticket. It is the only listing in Bergen that is food-first from the first stop to the last. Do both if you have the days — they are not competing for the same afternoon. How many days you need.
Kayaking with a lunch stop on Algrøy island also exists, five hours in double kayaks. It is not suitable for non-swimmers, wheelchair users, pregnant travellers or children under 6.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best fjord tour from Bergen?
The six-hour Hardangerfjord day, with fifty minutes at Steinsdalsfossen where the path goes behind the water. Its food content is one waffle and a small tasting, so book it for the fjord. All the day trips.
Is a fjord tour from Bergen a food tour?
No. The fjord days sit in the food category because they include a snack, not because food is the subject. If you want food, the three-and-a-half-hour walk with thirteen tastings across five venues is the one. What food tours exist here.
Can I do a fjord trip and a food tour in the same day?
Not comfortably. The shortest fjord day is six hours from the Fish Market and the food walk is three and a half. Give the fjord its own day and put the walk on another. How many days to allow.
