Overview
Available languages
11 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Witness the awe-inspiring Vøringsfossen, one of Norway’s most spectacular and iconic waterfalls! With a total drop of 182 metres, including a 145-metre free fall, it is a sight that truly takes your breath away.
Located at the edge of the Hardangervidda National Park, Vøringsfossen is framed by dramatic cliffs, a deep canyon, and raw, powerful nature.
Standing on one of the many viewing platforms — or on the spectacular footbridge that spans directly above the cascade — is an experience that cannot be described. It must be felt !
This tour is a round bus trip that takes you along the beautiful Hardangerfjord, with memorable stops at Steinsdalsfossen and at the viewpoint above the Hardanger Bridge, where you can enjoy the majestic fjord from above.
We also visit the Norwegian Nature Center, where we enjoy lunch and watch their 180-degree panoramic film, giving you a deeper understanding of the dramatic landscapes you experience on this tour.

What To Expect
Fossen Bratte
One of the most dramatic waterfalls along the route, Fossen Bratte – often called “The Bride’s Veil” because of its elegant white spray – is known for its impressive 80-meter drop and the powerful roar that echoes through the valley. Today, the road passes through a tunnel behind the waterfall, but after parking, we can follow the old road to reach the top of the fall. You can also choose to go the opposite way - down to the bottom of this mighty cascade, where you can truly feel the strength of the water. Your guide is always with you, helping you find your way, take the best photos, and enjoy the best possible experience.
Steinsdalsfossen Waterfall
Steinsdalsfossen, located near Norheimsund in Hardanger, is one of Norway's most popular waterfalls. With a height of 50 metres, the waterfall is particularly famous for the path that goes behind the waterfall, so that visitors can walk dry-shod and experience the waterfall's power up close.

Outstanding Voringsfossen Tour
Lubomyr B,May 30, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00The tour guide was exceptional. Her knowledge of the history of Norway and its natural landscape was outstanding. She was also very understanding and supportive during the more challenging hiking trails. She was also very personable and interested in our experience. The driver of our tour bus was very professional and skillful given the narrow and difficult roads and tunnels.
Our trip highlight!

5.00The most amazing trip we did in Norway. It’s a long trip but it’s so well organised with plenty of rest stops on the way to take in the views, stretch your legs and get a bite to eat. The driver and tour guide were amazing and we learnt so much about Norways history and culture. The waterfalls you see are incredible and not to be missed!
Day trip of a lifetime.

5.00From someone who’s seen their fair share of Norway, this is was a day trip of a lifetime and to remember. Both the guide and driver (Niels & Erik) were exceptional. Niels was Incredibly knowledgeable about the entire trip and just in general as well. Erik ensured a smooth trip and overall the timing was perfect. You would think it was a long time to spend on a bus, but it did not feel like that at all with a strategic stop around every 20-30 minutes. Would 100% recommend.

5.00The trip didn't feel like 10-11 hours. Was enjoyable. The other scenery was nicer than the falls and there was a lot of nice views.
Beautiful waterfalls

4.00It was a great trip, absolutely stunning scenery and beautiful waterfalls. I would recommend the trip. I have marked down a star as I did think the lunch was poor, for the price we paid I would have expected a bit more than soup.

5.00This tour can be highly recommended. A fantastic tour with lots of experiences. Voringsfoss is enormous, and with the trip over the narrow bridge we had one of the most beautiful experiences we have had on a trip. Tasty lunch and film at the nature center. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide
