Hardangerfjord Ultimate RIB adventure from Ulvik
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 45 minutes
Mobile ticket
This extended RIB safari from Ulvik offers a deep exploration of the Hardangerfjord and its most dramatic fjord branches.
After departure from Ulvik, the tour goes to the Hardanger Bridge, Norway’s longest suspension bridge. From there, the route continues into the Simadalsfjord near Eidfjord, surrounded by steep mountains, waterfalls, and striking scenery shaped by both nature and hydropower development.
The journey continues into the Osafjord, a narrow fjord branch where the road ends and the fjord was once the only transport route. Along the shoreline, you pass abandoned farms and roadless settlements that reflect traditional fjord life.
Several scenic stops are made for photos and observation. Commentary is provided by a local captain, covering nature, history, and everyday life along the fjord. Wildlife sightings may include seals, porpoises, or sea eagles.
The experience combines fast RIB cruising on open fjord sections with calm navigation deep inside the fjord arms.

5.00It was a very nice tour, nice guide also who knew a lot about fjord life. We were only 2 people, so just a private tour, so nice that he let it go anyway! At my request he later sent me some film clips that he filmed with the go-pro, sooo much fun! So highly recommended 🙏
The most enjoyable activity we did in Norway!

5.00We had an incredible time. Our 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son loved it. It was amazing to see the fjords from the water. The guide was great, knew a lot about the area, stopped at beautiful spots, and even provided some excitement (suitable for children too)!
Great experience

5.00Beautiful views of Hardangerfjorden. Our captain was insightful and talked about local and historic sites in the fjord. We experienced parts of Norway where you cannot go by car. This was a peak event on our road trip in Norway.
