What you'll see and do
Bergenhus Fortress
This is a short round-trip by car to the amazing Osterfjord area. Our professional driver-guide picks you up at your hotel in Bergen centre (or cruise ship port) and our tour starts. Departure is usually at 9:00am unless otherwise agreed. Leaving Bergen we drive past some of the sights. The Medieval fortress of Bergenhus is one of them.
1 minutes here
From Bergen, we will travel to the Osterfjord – a fjord that surrounds one on the largest continental islands in Europe – Osterøy island, 127 square miles (330 km2). Our first stop is at the viewpoint right after crossing the bridge over the fjord.
10 minutes here
Returning to mainland, we move on to Dale, where the famous sweater factory is located – “Dale of Norway”. We can visit the factory outlet and maybe pick up some woolen souvenirs there.
20 minutes here
From Dale we take one of lesser-known roads going north: steep mountains, narrow fjords and secluded villages along the way. Our next stop is at the Stone Age settlement on the Bolstadfjord: a short walk on a moderately steep trail is required.
30 minutes here
Moving on we come to yet another narrow fjord – the Eidsfjord – and make a stop at the magical Hesjedalsfossen waterfall: one of the most iconic sights, and yet an offbeat attraction.
10 minutes here
Mo
We continue our journey and reach Mo (pronounced “Moo”) – a cosy village between two waterfalls: Geitaskaret and Kvernhusfossen. Here we can have lunch at a small restaurant/café overlooking the Mofjord and Geitaskaret waterfall.
40 minutes here
Leaving Mo, we make a short stop at the Kvernhusfossen waterfall before returning to Bergen – an almost non-stop 1.5-hour drive. In the winter, some of the waterfalls and fjords may be frozen.
15 minutes here
Our next and last stop on this tour is at the Mostraumen strait - the 600 meters long, very narrow channel connecting two fjords. During the tide there is a strong current here and, of course, an amazing view (regardless of the tide).
15 minutes here
On our way back to Bergen we'll continue our ride along the Osterfjord - now to the west of Osterøy island. (Usually we do not stop here.)
1 minutes here
Before returning to Bergen we will cross the fjord on the second longest bridge in Norway - the Nordhordlandsbrua - part floating part suspension bridge. (Usually we do not stop here)
1 minutes here

Amazing - highlight of our Norway holiday
What an unforgettable adventure! Vlad’s trip of ‘Norway Secret of the Fjords’ was nothing short of spectacular. From the very start, everything was seamlessly organised, with just the right mix of excitement and local charm. The highlight of the journey was undoubtedly driving through these towering, majestic landscapes. Vlad was completely captivated by the dramatic cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and serene waters—each bend revealing a view more breathtaking than the last. Vlad’s enthusiasm was contagious—his joy and curiosity made every stop along the journey even more special. Vlad is very knowledgeable and passionate, adding depth to the scenery with their local stories and insights. Vlad truly embraced the spirit of adventure, and it was clear that this experience left a lasting impression on us. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and exhilarating Norwegian adventure. Well done, Vlad—and thank you Jandis AS/Tripadvisor, for making it all possible!
Response from the operator: Your feedback made our day! Thank you very much for choosing us for your travel experience. We're so glad you had a fantastic time, and we can't wait to create more memories with you on your next visit. Sincerely, Vlad

Best Day Trip!
Best day of our trip! We had the most amazing time on this tour and our guide Vlad was incredible!!! This tour takes you to some more remote and local locations and we were able to see some incredible spots and landscapes throughout. Vlad went above and beyond in all that we did, he was truly the best. Couldn’t recommend this tour and Vlad enough, take this tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Katie, thank you very much for so nice review! Hope to see you again. Sincerely, Vlad

Norway Your Way
I cannot speak highly enough of our journey with Vlad. Easy pick up at our hotel in Bergen with his comfy Mercedes van. The trip will just for my husband and me including a brief tour around Bergen before setting off for the beautiful fjords and mountains. Norway's beauty, even in the snow - you will get all four seasons in one day - cannot be captured by photos alone. Vlad's love of Norway shows through. He even stopped at the Wool factory outlet in Dale and helped us shop. A rigorous hike to a stone age shelter in the fjords was a highlight that many foreigners will NEVER see from a tour bus. Waterfalls and valleys were abundant. Cannot say enough about the wonderful tour. He was knowledgable , informative and very interesting. Thank you for sharing Norways' secrets with us.

PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $1,428 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours?
+
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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours?
+
Around 1 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6-7 hours 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, City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot, 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.
