If you want to experience the Hardangerfjord in a quick, fun and easy way, a 1-hour RIB boat tour from Eidfjord is the perfect solution!

Descripción del recorrido

Your start your tour by meeting your guide, who will give you a quick safety briefing. After suiting up into a thermal floating suit and life west, you are ready to hit the fjord!

During the RIB-boat ride, there will be several stops where your guide will tell you about the surroundings. Una de ellas tendrá lugar en Hotle, donde las cabras campan a sus anchas por la costa y en ocasiones incluso descienden hasta el barco. At another stop there are often seals lying on the beaches or playing on the shore. Además, Eidfjord es el hogar de una rica fauna avícola, que varía con el paso de las estaciones.

When the boat stops at the bottom of Simadalsfjorden, you find yourself at one of Norway's largest power plants. Here your guide will tell you a little about the power station and put it in connection with other sights, such as Vøringsfossen, Hardangerjøkulen and Sysendammen. Simadalsfjord, con sus escarpadas laderas y sus numerosas pequeñas cascadas, es todo un espectáculo para la vista.

Later on, the boat speeds out into the middle of the Eidfjord where you can see Eidfjord, the mountain farms of Kjeåsen and Skår, The Hardanger Bridge, and Hardangerjøkulen mountains. Here you will learn more about how this scenery has been formed, and about the people who live here. A trip to the fjord might also give you inspirations and ideas for what you can see and experience when you get back to land!

Como alternativa a la central eléctrica de Simadalsfjorden, puede visitarse el puente de Hardanger para observarlo desde el fiordo. Hay mucho que aprender acerca del proceso de construcción y las dimensiones de este impresionante puente. Along the way to Hardangerbrua, you will pass a waterfall that almost comes up into the boat, as well as several places of cultural historical significance. There will not be time to visit both Simadalsfjorden and Hardangerbrua on the same trip, so weather conditions and you will decide where to go.
