About
We pick you up from your hotel with our VIP car, and go towards Norheimsund, in the Hardanger-fjord region. On the way we stop by two waterfalls: Fossen Bratte, and Steinsdalsfossen, the last one you can walk behind.
We continue to Norheimsund, and change over to our boat, M/Y Iselina Bella, a Princess 50.
From Norheimsund we cruise into the narrow, remote and undiscovered pristine Fyksesund fjord, which is only accessible by boat. We stay in here for a couple of hours, just to enjoy the silence in the nice nature, between the steep mountains, with waterfalls directly down to the fjord. You can have a drink from the waterfalls if you like, a shower under them, or a swim in the fjord.
When then cruise back to Norheimsund for lunch at Thon Hotel Sandven, or even better: The small family run Spilde apple farm, with possibilities for cider tasting as well as lunch.
Car back to Bergen. Typically we will be back in Bergen around 6 PM

- stevekW571OA0 contributionsA perfect evening activityStaying in Bergen exploring the city, this relaxing cruise around Bergen is a perfect evening activity, to relax after a day of walking around. Very relaxed onboard the boat, just enjoying the view. Unlimited amount of drinks made it even better, sipping good wine when passing the coastline of Bergen, watching architecture and nature... Needless to say more...Written 11 December 2024
- S8521EUwilliama0 contributionsAmazingAs I am 58 years old and have travelled a lot around the world, I am truly amazed that we could experience this. What a fantastic nature, cruise, cafeteria for lunch in Mo, waterfalls, mountains, all in only 8 hours. The absolutely best day of our trip to Scandinavia, by far!Written 28 September 2024
- ClevelandTravels0 contributionsHighlight of our trip!We had such a wonderful day seeing the fjord. We passed by little towns and so many waterfalls. We even saw a flock of swans. The boat was well stocked with lots of drinks and snacks, and we were able to have a late lunch in Mo. The captain was very kind and willing to chat about Norway or leave us to our own devices. It was a perfect day to recover from travel. I would definitely recommend booking.Written 20 July 2024
- seankM3893OT0 contributionsTruly Awesome!!!This was the most enjoyable tour our family of six has ever taken!! Captain Svein was the best. He took us on a tour of the fjord that was spectacular even though we had cloudy weather. He went at a very nice pace so that we could see all that we wanted. Boat was fully stocked with snacks, beer/wine, etc. They called ahead to the cafe we stopped at and the cafe had a table set up for us and it was the best lunch. He took us under a waterfall and we went for a quick swim (cold but worth it!). We were not rushed to do anything at any time which was so enjoyable. We just sat and enjoyed the whole experience. This was the highlight of our trip to Norway and would totally do it again!!Written 10 July 2024
- Kelly C0 contributionsAmazing experienceThis experience was a splurge for us, and worth every penny. The captain was accommodating every step of the way, and a truly great captain and tour guide. The boat was amazing, very clean and neat, and was stocked with treats. We were able to go to a small town at the top of the fjord and enjoyed a wonderful seafood meal on the boat. It was a magical experience being the only boat in Mo; This day was the highlight of our trip to Norway and would highly recommend!Written 30 May 2024
- jesssX5836ZH0 contributionsWinter wonderland cruiseWe did the cruise in January, when it was real winter in Bergen, snow in the city and ice on the fjord. The boat was great, with heated salon, but we still sat upstairs in the winter weather, quite cold, but refreshing, with wool blankets and hot tea and coffee. We went indoor from time to time to get some heat, but the view from top was amazing, so we mostly enjoyed the cruise from there. The fjord was frozen and covered with ice when we got close to the inner end, due to less salt, and mostly fresh water. So we didn`t get all the way inn, but an amazing experience with the winter wonderland of the Norwegian fjords. We enjoyed pre-ordered lunch with various shellfish, and wine onboard the yacht in between the icebergs. Fantastic day 😁Written 18 February 2024
- lisarC9988CV0 contributionsFantastic winter-cruiseFantastic winter-cruise to a fjord covered in winter colors and ice. Since we did the cruise in January it was cold in Bergen, but the yacht was warm inside anyway. We had a great time onboard, with a lovely and caring captain. Since it was so cold the fjord was frozen when we got close to the end, but that was amazing, a great experience for the whole family. We got the offer to go ice bathing, but no thanks, too cold for us.... A lovely cruise, reccomended both summer as winter.Written 19 January 2024
- amandasX3925RF0 contributionsGreat fjord experienceWe loved this cruise very much, and would do it again any time. Worth the money, and can be adjusted as you like.Written 23 July 2023
- amandasX3925RF0 contributionsGo for itGreat daytrip on the fjords. We came to Norway to explore fjords, and went to most of them: Hardanger fjord, Sognefjord, Geiranger. However this private cruise was an excellent choice, and worth the price. It`s great to have the boat for yourself for a day, and you can do as you like. We asked for a specific start time, and were also back in the city correspinging to our dinner reservation for the evening. We had ordered lunch from a restaurant to be brought onboard as well, and enjoyed lobster with excellent wine under some waterfalls and great mountains. All great, we loved it.Written 23 July 2023
- O2034BVtheresal0 contributionsThank you See the FjordsWe would like to thank See the Fjord for this great evening cruise we had with them. We enjoyed it so much, and must reccomend this to eberybody visiting Bergen. A great evening on the boat, with lots of refreshments included. If we come back to Norway, we will do another one.Written 23 July 2023
- Rama A0 contributionsBeautiful, unique and private way to experience the fjordsAmazing 4-days experience, being pampered and taken care of way above our expectations. Boat is comfortable and well looked after, stocked with drinks and goodies, service is incredible! Our luggage was delayed and Iselin picked it up herself the next day at the airport and drove about 3 hours to deliver it to us. Communication with Captain Svein was a delight, and captain Joachim took excellent care of us. It was a dream come true!Written 23 July 2023
- M6129JSbobs0 contributionsBest part of our trip to BergenBest part of our trip to Bergen We were treated as VIP`s from the first to last seccond by the captain of this boat, as he took so good care of us, and served us all we wanted of wine and champagne. All this was included. We had 3 fantastic hours on the boat, cruising along the coastline of Bergen city and suburbs. We really appreiciated this cruise.Written 22 July 2023

My wife and I highly recommend to see Norway's fjords with "See the Fjords -Private fjordcruise". We toured the fjords using this private charter. Captain Svein is from these areas and we're sure he took us to all of the picturesque highlights.
We booked back-to-back full-day tours from Bergen. On the first day, we visited Modalen and on the next day we visited Hardangerfjord and Fyleksund. Both days were filled with amazing vistas although each day had its own unique views. While we would highly recommend both trips, Modalen especially offered views of the iconic Norwegian fjords we've all seen in pictures and postcards. In addition to more in the way of stunning landscape, we also enjoyed a special treat on Day 2 which was a luncheon and an apple cider tasting tour at a local apple farm.
Booking with See the Fjords was very easy. The communication provided by Iselin via e-mail was prompt and clear. The address I used in planning was post@seethefjords.com. Iselin also provided transportation on Day 2 which included a few bonus visits to wonderful waterfalls along the roadside.
No visit to Norway could be complete without seeing the fjords. As stated previously, we highly recommend See the Fjords for this. The price was well worth the luxurious 3-cabin/2-bath yacht. In fact, after seeing the spectacular cabins, we regret not booking an overnight tour.
Enjoy the fjords!!

Me and my wife was picked up with a BMW X5 at our hotel in Bergen a Friday morning, driving for Hardanger and the village Norheimsund.
In Norheimsund the boat was waiting in the harbour, and we went out on the fjord, cruising slowly out from Norheimsund towards some suburbs, also passing a village- before we entered the Fyksesund fjord. Very nice place, so silent in here. Lovely view, and we were all alone- no other boats or traffic (I think there are no roads in here) We got some snacks on the boat, and some wine- and we had the whole day available- just sitting on the swimming deck aft on the boat, enjoying the marvelous nature and view, not a sound around us but waterfalls.
Cruising back to Norheimsund, and car to Bergen. Stopped by a couple of waterfalls on the wat, Steinsdalsfossen was one, and walked behind it. Hever seen something like that before, amazing.
Great day for us, reccomend it.

We were picked up at our hotel in Bergen 09:30 a beautiful morning, by a gentleman in a BMW X5. We drove towards hardanger, and stopped at two waterfalls along the road. Most exciting was the Steinsdalsfossen, which we walked behind. Amazing experience!!
We then arrived Norheimsund village and harbour, where the boat was waiting. We cruised slowly in the fjord, and reached Fyksesundet after about half an hour. We could see the fjord getting more and more narrow, and waterfalls down to the fjord. Captain manouvered the boat under the waterfalls, and we could actually shower if we wanted... We had a swim in the fjord instead, refreshing. Boat had towels and a warm shower after the swim.
We explored the fjord for a while, and then returned to the car in Norheimsund, and back to Bergen.
Excellent day, highly reccomended as a full day fjord excursion.
