Langfoss is a spectacular 612 meter long waterfall in Åkrafjorden. It’s so beautiful, that in 2011 CNN included it on their list of the worlds 10 most beautiful waterfalls. Langfoss finds itself in a fairy-like landscape, surrounded by steep mountains and wide hillsides, and small farms. This is the place to experience the real nature in it’s entirety. A trip to Langfoss is a must while visiting Haugalandet. IMPORTANT! A week before the day's tour we will send you a message with the final schedule of the tour. The departure time is set by the operator.
Haraldshaugen is a beautiful national monument that commemorates the unification of Norway in a single kingdom. The monument was built in 1872 to commemorate the thousand years of Norwegian unification after the Battle of Hafrsfjord.
We make a logistical stop so that you can have a drink or a snack if you wish, with a good view of the fjord.

Not overly spectacular, but it's worth doing, especially regarding price-performance compared to the ship's offers.
Hello Sebastian, Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guide and appreciated the information provided throughout the tour. We completely understand your point regarding the travel time to Langfoss. However, the journey itself is also an important part of the experience. The route to the waterfall takes you through beautiful Norwegian countryside, along fjords, mountains, lakes and small villages, so the scenery along the way is very much part of the attraction of the tour, rather than simply transportation to Langfoss. We nevertheless appreciate your honest feedback and are very pleased to know that you had such a positive experience with our guide. Thank you for joining us!
We wanted to send this review to express our gratitude to our tour guide Lily. We have done a number of tours in the last couple of years and can confidently say that Lily has been by far, the BEST TOUR GUIDE we have had. The love for her adoptive country shines though every interaction, every explanation, every story. Lily excelled in every single aspect of the tour. She is knowledgeable, professional, helpful and funny. She went above and beyond to provide each person in her tour an experience that was memorable and rewarding. Please pass along our appreciation to Lily for the most wonderful tour experience thus far.
Long ride by bus where the guide tells you so many fun facts and stories. Wow! You must have seen and experienced the langfoss waterfall. We could also fill our water bottle with real waterfall water, lol. Top guide, top activity, must do!
This was an unexpected delight because the guide Lilly talked the whole way and gave us a wonderful explanation of the local landscape and culture. Very informative and beautiful scenery though rainy.
First off, I took this tour through Viator; the tour operator picked us up and dropped us off at the cruise terminal on time. The bus driver was very kind and friendly. The high waterfall is the main attraction, but it is not really impressive, just my two cents. Since one can go only on one Excursion due to cruise related time constraints, I wish I would have gone on some other Excursion to explore some other attrections this port town has to offer.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that everything went smoothly regarding the organization of the tour, that you were picked up and returned to the cruise terminal on time, and that you had a positive experience with our driver and guide. We completely understand that every traveler has different expectations and preferences when it comes to the attractions they visit. Langfoss is one of Norway’s highest and best-known waterfalls, and the excursion is designed not only around the waterfall itself, but also around the scenic journey through the Norwegian countryside and along the beautiful Åkrafjord. We are sorry to hear that the waterfall did not meet your personal expectations and that, in hindsight, you would have preferred to explore other attractions in the area.
Smooth tour, waterfall was beautiful! Bus was new. Tour guide was funny. Very close to waterfall and fjord.
Be prepared for wet weather. Can’t be helped but does spoil the experience as regards how long you want to stand in the rain. Lily was a fantastic guide, smart, funny & very informative. Definitely recommend this tour
Great tour. Convenient pickup and drop off. Tour was as advertised. No worries about getting back to ship. All on the full bus were from ship.
The scenery was magnificent and Lilly was an awesome guide. Prepare for the changes in weather. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great trip and very knowledgeable guide and driver. Sat on the right side of the bus but I don’t think that really matters. Enjoy!
