About

Book your tickets here

This is a very popular round trip that lasts about 10 hours and takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Norway. The tour includes the Bergen Railway, Flåm Railway and a cycling trip down the Flåm valley, kayaking on the Aurlandsfjord with a guide, and a fjord safari with a local guide from Flåm to Gudvangen.

The Standard Extra Fjord Tour starts at the railway station in Voss with the train to Myrdal station. From Myrdal station, the tour continues on the famous Flåm Railway, one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world. The Flåm Railway is very easy to find at Myrdal station.

When the Flåm train arrives at Berekvam station, you are halfway down to Flåm and have seen the steepest and most spectacular sections of this famous railway line.

You leave the train at Berekvam, where a guide is waiting for you with bikes and helmets. After a short briefing, you are ready to cycle the last 11 km down to Flåm. It is an easy route to cycle, mostly either downhill or flat. There is a lower age limit of 12 years for the cycling trip. If you have luggage with you, it will be taken down by car.

You can also stop and take photos en route. Once down in Flåm, you have about 30 minutes to explore on your own. Flåm is a charming small village surrounded by steep mountainsides, cascading waterfalls and narrow valleys. It is lovely just to stroll around, but you can also visit the Flåm Railway Museum. It is also a nice place to catch a bite to eat before going kayaking on the fjord.

At 11.50 you rendezvous at the quay get dressed, equipped and register for the fjord safari. There are maximum 12 passengers and a guide in each RIB boat, so it almost feels like you are on a private tour. The boat stops at several places en route and the guide tells interesting stories about the local history of the fjords. You will also have a good chance of seeing some marine wildlife and birds in their natural element, for example seals, harbour porpoises and eagles. On this safari, the boat heads out the Aurlandfjord and up the Nærøyfjord.

At 13.25, you meet up with the guide at the boathouse where the kayaks are kept. There, you will be given information and you team up two and two in each kayak. You will be issued all the equipment you need, and you do not need much prior kayaking experience. Children can also participate. You now have about three hours to enjoy kayaking on the Aurlandsfjord. The guide will tell you some local history and you can enjoy the silence out on the fjord, with steep mountainsides rising straight up from the water.

The Nærøyfjord is one of the narrowest fjords in Europe. In 2005, the Nærøyfjord was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The safari takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes and ends in Gudvangen.

In Gudvangen, your guide is waiting for you with a minibus to take you to Voss. On the way there, you will be driven down the hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva, one of the steepest roads in Europe, with a gradient of 24% at its steepest. Since 2010, this has been a one way road, and it is only possible to drive down it.

You arrive in Voss at about 18.30.

The Standard Extra Fjord Tour lasts about 10 hours and takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer.
