The 11 Best Waterfall Tours in Bergen

1.Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord & Waterfall Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,990 reviews · from $81Our pick

From Bergen’s harbor, you’ll cruise past Bryggen and along the 27-kilometer Osterfjord toward the narrow Mostraumen strait. Captain Harald and the crew may point out scenic highlights as you choose between a warm cabin, outdoor decks, and the onboard kiosk. Allow 3.5 to 4 hours.

“The view was awesome, regardless of the weather. The 3h cruise was just enough to admire the breathtaking landscape, they served beer, soft drinks and hot ones, and the last ones were the best companion in typical Norwegian climate. The captain slowed down in worth-taking pictures spots, which was really nice. Overall 10/10, experience that I and my family will never forget :)”

The bus was great and comfy and the driver was also friendly. The tour itself was a great way to see some of the sights and waterfalls of Norway. I would have loved an option for an all day tour tour, however, we saw a lot in 6 hours!”
