About this experience
Step aboard our Pontoon boat for an exclusive cruise through the majestic fjords, away from the crowds. With space for up to 8 guests, this intimate voyage offers a serene alternative to the bustling tourist boats. What about a dinner cruise in the fjord with seafood from local fishermen?
Embark on a journey into the heart of the fjord, where our expert drivers will guide you to the very essence of the landscape. From there, we set sail to explore the captivating Mostraum tidal current, with unparalleled views from the pontoon's spacious deck.
Venture into areas inaccessible to larger vessels, witnessing the breathtaking Hesjedalsfossen twin waterfalls and the pristine Veafjord, untouched by roads. After four hours of exploration, we returned to the dock directly at the train station, which provided easy access back to Bergen city center in just 40 minutes by train.
Experience the perfect trifecta of travel modes—car, boat, and train—as you embark on this unforgettable journey.
