Private RIB Departures Across the Hardangerfjord

Start your luxury Hardangerfjord adventure from wherever you stay.

No matter which village, harbour or fjord-side hotel you are staying at, Hardangerfjord Adventure can meet you there with a private RIB experience tailored to your schedule and interests.

Why Choose a Flexible Harbour Departure?

Whether you’re travelling from Bergen, exploring local orchards, or staying at a fjord-side lodge, a custom departure means:

• Start right outside your hotel or nearby pier — from Jondal’s Hardanger House area to the piers in Rosendal and Lofthus.
• Spend less time travelling and more time exploring the fjord.
• Ideal for travellers who value privacy, comfort and personalised service.
• Tailor the route, stops and duration to suit your wishes.
• Available year-round on request.

Private Car or Minibus Pick-Up Available

For guests and groups who prefer to arrive effortlessly and begin their fjord experience at a scenic location, we also offer:



Private transfers by car or minibus (additional cost)

• Available anywhere around the Hardangerfjord, including remote hotels, lodges and cabins.
• Ideal if you want to begin your adventure closer to a specific attraction such as secluded fjord branches, cider producers or restaurants,
• We also provide transfers for guests staying in Voss or Bergen.
• Pricing depends on the number of guests and the pick-up location — we will provide a tailored quote when you send us your details.
• This service is designed for travellers who value comfort, convenience and a seamless door-to-fjord journey.
