Itinerary
Passing by the famous Bryggen Wharf and UNESCO site as we are heading out of the buzzlng city on the way to the Golden Circle of the Fjords and waterfalls.
The Nordhordland Bridge has completely sealed off the beautiful Osterfjord area to cruise travelers since it was built in 1994. Hence have this area been inaccessible as the modern boats are far too big to venture under the small inlet. The Nordhordland Bridge is a marvel of engineering and is North Europes longest floating bridge without side anchors. The large arch construction is made to withstand the current in the fjord as the tide travels in and out twice a day.
As we travel along the fjord side, we make a fjordside stop at Vikanes to gaze at the mirror-like waters in this highly protected area. Tall mountains surround the place and make wind and weather to be a Bergen City phenomena
The Mostaruam tidal channel is one of the narrowest areas of the fjords and this is where the Osterfjord stopped until the spring of 1743 when a large flood washed away the outlet of what used to be a river from the Mo lake. As a result - the tide now comes in and with it saltwater. The Fjord is as a result the "youngest" fjord in Norway and did not exist 300 years ago.
Mo Village is a picturesque small place with only some 380 inhabitants. The Mo waterfront is a group of modern buildings that have its architecture inspired from long traditions as it resembles both the Bryggen Wharf in Bergen and the historical seahouses found along the fjord banks in many small places. Here we make a longer stop of 20 minutes so people can have a restroom visit and a cup of coffee at the local shops.
The Hesjedalsfossen twin waterfall plunges into a free fall of some 63 meters (206 feet) as it falls into a cavity on the Fjord bank. We stop just meters away from it and during the spring it is wize to bring an umbrella for the best view and keeping dry.
The Kallestad bridge connects the largest inland island in Europe, Osteroy - to the mainland. The bridge offers a spectacular viewpoint with the unique roadless Veafjord scenery in the background. Definitely the tours "hottest" photospot
After Stamneshella we make a small stop at the strongest tidal current in south Norway and where the name, STRAUME actually translates directly to the English word "current". During the lowering tide the fjord looks like a wild river and the force of nature becomes obvious to see with your own eyes. After this stop we start our return to Bergen as we arrive at the larger road E-16 leading back to the cruise port.

Best Way to Experience Bergen Off The Beaten Path
We spent a very fun and informative day, off the beaten path in Bergen with Tor. He picked us up promptly at the pier and was mindful of our ship's departure. Because he grew up here, his knowledge of everything from early history to traditions to current lifestyles was very interesting. He took us to out of the way places for beautiful scenery and waterfalls. He talked of his childhood and the summer solstice bonfires that were about to take place. Unfortunately we were there a few days too early to experience this event. He showed an immense pride in his home and heritage through his stories and experiences, most of which you won't find in any guide book.

Great experience
We had a wonderful tour. Stopped at some interesting places around the fjord. Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was raining - which is not unusual- but we still had a great tour!

We really had a great...
We really had a great tour with Eric…he’s very attentive and knowledgeable about the tour, went above and beyond to show us beautiful places as described in the itinerary. He was successfully drove the mini van through the narrow bridge 😊 and narrow roads safely to each destination. Also the pickup was smooth, they shared an app where we could track the car. The price is very reasonable, worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Terrible experience and out $700
Terrible experience. We arrived at bergen and found out the ship came into a different port about 30 minutes away. Wedid not know this. The tour lasted to long for us to get back to the ship. I would think that viator and the tour company would verify if they could provide their service. When we called the vendor he replied he talk to viator. That didnt work out so well if he did try. Viator was no help either. Totally worthless. Also thw vendor said he was going to be at least 15 minutes late. Bottom line is we are out $700. Because they couldnt provide the service we paid for. They should not have sold a product they couldnt provide. They need to make sure they can provide the excursion. I dont read the language, so they should have been more help. I wouldnt concider this vendor again and why isnt viator of more help. DB
Operator response
Dear David, This review appears to have been posted on the wrong tour operator’s page. We have no booking under the name David B, and the tour you reviewed does not match our product or pricing. Our Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen is not priced at USD 700 for this type of booking, and the situation you describe does not correspond with any reservation or guest communication we have had. For clarity: we pick up guests from both cruise terminals in Bergen, and we always verify cruise ship logistics carefully. Bergen has more than one cruise terminal, and this is exactly why we ask for ship details before departure. We also operate with a Back to Ship Guarantee. If a guest were ever to miss their ship due to an error on our side, we would cover the transportation costs to the next port. We take cruise passenger logistics extremely seriously and have never had an issue where guests did not know where their ship was docking or where they needed to be picked up when booked with us. I’m sorry you had a bad experience, but based on the information in your review, this was not with our company. I would strongly recommend contacting Viator directly and asking them to identify the correct supplier for your booking. Kind regards, Norway Fjord Travel
