About this experience
Experience a RIB adventure from Bergen to the Osterfjord and the narrow Mostraumen strait. The tour takes you through shifting coastal scenery, past steep mountainsides and into Mostraumen, a dramatic fjord passage. A RIB boat brings you close to the elements — the speed, the fresh sea air, and the sensation of moving directly through the landscape. Along the way, you’ll pass small villages and impressive rock formations, with plenty of moments to slow down and take in the scenery. For comfort and safety, all participants are equipped with warm floatation suits, life jackets, ski goggles, gloves, and hats — everything you need to enjoy the experience in any weather. This tour is designed for individual travelers, families, and small groups looking for an exciting and memorable way to explore the fjords. Whether you’re seeking a touch of adventure or simply want to experience the Norwegian fjords up close, the Mostraumen Fjord Safari offers a refreshing and unforgettable journey.

What you'll see and do
Byfjorden (the Cityfjord), with its water depths ranging from about 5 to 350 meters frames the city of Bergen along its waterfront. It is also a natural landmark, visible from much of the city as it is situated between the seven mountains that encircle Bergen. The 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long fjord separates the island of Askøy from the mainland Bergen, passing right north of the city of Bergen on the mainland.

The 4 kilometer long and up to 500 meter deep Salhusfjord is located between Bergen and Alver Municipality. The fjord is crossed by the Nordhordland Bridge. The fjord takes its name from the village area of Salhus. In the early 12th century there was an inn located there, known at the time as a sáluhus. It acted as a transport hub for Nordhordland, and was a small market town. It was one of the first industrialized places when a hosiery manufacturer was established here in 1859.

The Nordhordland Bridge is an impressive landmark just north of Bergen, carrying the coastal road across the wide Salhusfjord. Opened in 1994, it combines a slender cable-stayed span with a long floating section, making it one of the world’s most distinctive bridge designs. As you cross, the scenery opens into sweeping views of fjords, mountains and islands—classic Western Norway at its best. The bridge replaced the former ferry link and is today an essential connection between Bergen and the Nordhordland region, offering travellers both efficient transport and a memorable glimpse of Norwegian engineering and coastal beauty.

Osterfjorden
The Osterfjord is one of three fjords surrounding the island of Osterøy. The fjord runs along the municipal border of Lindås and Osterøy municipalities. The fjord begins at the Romarheimsfjorden and flows to the west for 27 kilometres (17 mi) before ending near the village of Knarvik at the confluence of four fjords: Osterfjorden, Radfjorden (to the north), Sørfjorden (to the south), and Salhusfjorden (to the west). The Osterfjorden is generally about 1 to 3 kilometres (0.62 to 1.86 mi) wide and the deepest point in the fjord reaches a depth of 639 metres (2,096 ft) below sea level
Pass by without stopping
Canalized river with tidal water deep into the Osterfjord. The stream is about 600 metres long and between 50 and 60 meters wide at the most narrow place. Mostraumen was canalized (dredged) about 1913.

Exhilarating, enjoyable and safe
Don’t be afraid. While it is high speed , you have warm safety gear to use. My wife and I, in our early 70’s felt safe and really enjoyed the tour. Just do it! Their company is very professional. I had some issues with airline baggage that might have interfered with the booking. They were very understanding and worked with us until we got our luggage situation fixed. Thank you

Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $1190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.
Is Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Safari - by Premium RIB Boat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bergen?
+
On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, Guided Tour To Nærøyfjorden, Flåm & Stegastein - incl. 2h cruise, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bergen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bergen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
