1: The knowledgeable skipper: The tour is led by an experienced skipper who provides humorous and informative commentary on the history, culture, and natural environment of the region, adding depth and context to the scenic views.

2: Great for people on a cruise ship: The tour is organized so cruise travelers with a short stay in Bergen get away from the crowds and back in time for departure.

Beautiful Way to See the Fjords

This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Norway! Bjorn was incredibly knowledgeable, and he shared tons of fascinating stories about the history and culture of the region, which added so much to our journey. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the mirror-like surface of the fjords creating a scene that felt like something out of a fairy tale. But what really set this tour apart was the smaller boat we were on, which allowed us to access areas that larger vessels simply can't. This flexibility meant we could experience hidden gems and beautiful spots that felt untouched by the crowds. This tour exceeded all my expectations, and I would definitely recommend it!
An Essential Element of Your Trip to Norway

A personal tour of the fjords near Bergen is an essential experience of the uniquely beautiful waterscapes of western Norway. After suiting up in warm, waterproof, battery-powered coveralls, Bjorn pilots you through an area not accessible to bigger boats, sharing his personal perspective on a place like no other. Highly recommended.
Quiet solitude and beauty!

The serenity and solitude of being in places that are often the best path and barely touched by human actions was beyond description. I highly recommend this personal tour as a way to really understand the people and places in and about the less traveled fjords of Norway.
Cold and Rainy but Good private Fjord tour

Other than the very cold rain the day with Bjorn was a good one. It was nice to be in a Fjord without a dozen other tour boats and hear from someone who grew up in the Fjords. Only downside was his take on global warming,,,scientists being paid to say there is global warming.????Other than that the Fjord was beautiful and the history was amazing to hear about.
Best way to see fjords

Yesterday we took this tour with Bjorn. It was my husband and daughter and we wanted to see the fjords up close and hear about the history and culture of Norway first hand. Bjorn did all that and more. He is energetic, funny and knowledgeable and this tour has been the highlight of our trip so far (2 weeks into our travels.). The price tag is higher than other fjord cruises, but well worth it. He gives good instructions on meeting place, train ride etc.
