About This Tour
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.
