Erik was our tour guide and was so knowledgeable and friendly! He we just as great as the fjords! The entire day was so beautiful and we learned a lot about Norway’s history and culture. In summary, just book it!!! You will not regret it.

An exhilarating trip in the fjords of Norway - Bjorn was simply superb. He had so many stories to tell. Two hours went in a jiffy. Highly recommended tour 👌. He made us very comfortable in the suits. We did not feel the chill around water. And, we laughed our guts with his stories. He has incredible knowledge of history of the fjords. A wonderful experience indeed !

TOO MUCH FUN!!! Take this tour! - This tour was TOO MUCH FUN!!! The Zodiac/Pontoon boat makes it a much more active/close up experience than the boats/ferries (you could reach out and touch the water if you wanted to). It was a beautiful day and still, we practically had the fjord to ourselves. Our guide was a font of knowledge and funny too. Of the four big tours we have taken on this trip, this was our family’s favorite. Thanks for a great and memorable day!!

Best Experience of our Vacation! - We were so happy that we booked this trip as one of our cruise port excursions. We booked the 1/2 day trip for a family of four. From the pre booking communication and transportation arrangements it was all communicated well and easy to follow instructions. We started the day by being picked up by our driver who was so kind and shared with us so much of the history of the town and region. We had enough time to go a more scenic route which allowed us to see as much of the region in our short day trip. We were then outfitted with our protective jumpsuits and entered our boat with Bjorn and his sidekick Phillip. The entire time with Bjorn was fun and exciting with lots of rich history and background. Our family of 4 included two teenage boys who were engaged and enjoyed their time out with Bjorn. It is true what other reviews said, you really are the only ones out there seeing these unique sites that otherwise wouldn’t be accessible. You can tell the amount of thought that goes into everything, including transportation to and from. One highlight was Bjorn taught our son how to drive the boat. Phillip was an awesome co-pilot! And our driver was so gracious, when he dropped us off at the end of our trip at the Fish Market, he graciously offered to drive a lost elderly couple free of charge back to their cruise ship. Overall there was never any worry about missing our cruise on-board time.

Best Fjord Cruise in Norway! - I can’t recommend this Fjord tour highly enough! While it’s a bit pricier than others, it’s worth every penny. Bjorn takes you to an off-the-grid Fjord, offering an exclusive experience immersed in nature. No crowds, no other boats—just pure tranquility. The scenery is breathtaking, and the boat itself is spacious, clean, and dry. Bjorn provides cozy jumpsuits to keep you warm against the wind and elements, although we were fortunate to enjoy a beautiful sunny day. Bjorn’s personality takes this tour over the top; he’s personable, humorous, knowledgeable, and full of fun and interesting stories, having grown up nearby. With Bjorn, you’re in excellent hands. This private Fjord cruise is unparalleled. Enjoy!

BEST FJORD TRIP IN BERGEN - Amazing experience! Bjorg is a wonderful and expert guide as he leads the tour at his home. He perfectly knows the area and he will share with you all the secrets. You'll be on a zodiac (much adrenaline that a boat cruise) in a private tour and appreciate the beauty of norvegian fjords without literally anyone around. An exclusive experience that is probably our best memory of the trip!

Awesome Fjord experience! So fun! Go to RR before you arrive! - The fjord cruise with Bjorn was amazing! Great stories and insights from the Captain, and the views are unparalled. Out of 4700 guests on a cruise ship, we were the ONLY 4 guests in the fjord. There were no other tourist boats anywhere to be seen. The experience was very positive and we'd highly recommend this tour to anyone! Words of caution (not deal breakers- just a heads up) There are NO bathroom oppprtunities on the tour. You are in a van for perhaps 30 minutes, arrive at a rustic shelter, get dressed in survival suit gear, get in the inflatable boat for the tour (AMAZING), arrive at a dock, lose the colorful outfits, and get back in the van to retuen to the ship. A couple members of our groups were highly ready to find a bathroom on the ship when we returned. Also, Bjorn expects $30 USD per person in CASH. No cards. Be sure to have cash before you meet the driver.

Truly Special - Don’t hesitate to book this trip. We are two dads and a 12 year old and we all loved it. This is the opposite of the commonplace tours where you feel you are on the tourist conveyor belt. You are away from the hordes seeing stunning scenery, comfortable and secure. Bjorn is informative but even more importantly a whole lot of fun. And you will end up with some of the most gorgeous images from your trip to Norway. Thank you Bjorn!
