About the trip

Leave the busy cruise routes behind and experience the Hardangerfjord from a fast, open RIB. From Norheimsund, your local captain takes you into Fyksesund — one of the narrowest and most secluded branches of the Hardangerfjord.


We head south through the Norheimsund strait and continue east along the main fjord before entering Fyksesund. The inner 5 km of this 10 km branch feel untouched and peaceful, creating a rare sense of stillness. We make a stop outside Botnen, the old roadless hamlet that adds a unique historical layer to the experience.


Fyksesund changes character throughout the year. During snowmelt and on rainy days, countless waterfalls appear along the mountainsides. In winter, many of these freeze into striking ice formations.


Along the way, our local captain makes several stops so you can take in the scenery. We share stories about the fjord’s history, nature and culture, giving you a deeper understanding of life along the Hardangerfjord.


The small-group Hardangerfjord RIB safari for travellers who want the real fjord experience away from the crowds.
