What you'll see and do
Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf
Passing by the famous Bryggen Wharf and UNESCO site as we are heading out of the buzzlng city on the way to the Golden Circle of the Fjords and waterfalls.
The Nordhordland Bridge has completely sealed off the beautiful Osterfjord area to cruise travelers since it was built in 1994. Hence have this area been inaccessible as the modern boats are far too big to venture under the small inlet. The Nordhordland Bridge is a marvel of engineering and is North Europes longest floating bridge without side anchors. The large arch construction is made to withstand the current in the fjord as the tide travels in and out twice a day.
10 minutes here
As we travel along the fjord side, we make a fjordside stop at Vikanes to gaze at the mirror-like waters in this highly protected area. Tall mountains surround the place and make wind and weather to be a Bergen City phenomena
5 minutes here
The Mostaruam tidal channel is one of the narrowest areas of the fjords and this is where the Osterfjord stopped until the spring of 1743 when a large flood washed away the outlet of what used to be a river from the Mo lake. As a result - the tide now comes in and with it saltwater. The Fjord is as a result the "youngest" fjord in Norway and did not exist 300 years ago.
5 minutes here
Mo
Mo Village is a picturesque small place with only some 380 inhabitants. The Mo waterfront is a group of modern buildings that have its architecture inspired from long traditions as it resembles both the Bryggen Wharf in Bergen and the historical seahouses found along the fjord banks in many small places. Here we make a longer stop of 20 minutes so people can have a restroom visit and a cup of coffee at the local shops.
20 minutes here
The Hesjedalsfossen twin waterfall plunges into a free fall of some 63 meters (206 feet) as it falls into a cavity on the Fjord bank. We stop just meters away from it and during the spring it is wize to bring an umbrella for the best view and keeping dry.
10 minutes here
The Kallestad bridge connects the largest inland island in Europe, Osteroy - to the mainland. The bridge offers a spectacular viewpoint with the unique roadless Veafjord scenery in the background. Definitely the tours "hottest" photospot
5 minutes here
After Stamneshella we make a small stop at the strongest tidal current in south Norway and where the name, STRAUME actually translates directly to the English word "current". During the lowering tide the fjord looks like a wild river and the force of nature becomes obvious to see with your own eyes. After this stop we start our return to Bergen as we arrive at the larger road E-16 leading back to the cruise port.

Golden Circle
Tor arrived on time at the allocated collection point, he was extremely polite, courteous and could not have been any more helpful to make sure that we had the best of days. During the journey, his local knowledge and the history of Norway was impressive and although we were travelling on some narrow roads with passing places up in the mountains, Tor’s driving was of such an excellent standard that we never had any cause to be concerned. Thank you Tor for the best of days. Trevor and Kate.

Amazing guide
Our guide, Tor, was amazing. So knowledgeable about Bergen and the area around the fjord. We learned so much from him and he has a wonderful sense of humor

Best Way to Experience Bergen Off The Beaten Path
We spent a very fun and informative day, off the beaten path in Bergen with Tor. He picked us up promptly at the pier and was mindful of our ship's departure. Because he grew up here, his knowledge of everything from early history to traditions to current lifestyles was very interesting. He took us to out of the way places for beautiful scenery and waterfalls. He talked of his childhood and the summer solstice bonfires that were about to take place. Unfortunately we were there a few days too early to experience this event. He showed an immense pride in his home and heritage through his stories and experiences, most of which you won't find in any guide book.

Great experience
We had a wonderful tour. Stopped at some interesting places around the fjord. Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was raining - which is not unusual- but we still had a great tour!

It was a very personalized experience. It was just my husband and I on the tour. Lots of amazing views and cool spots to explore.

Private Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does Private Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen cost?
+
Prices start at $280 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 Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen take?
+
Plan for about 5.2 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 Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 52 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 Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen?
+
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 Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen?
+
Around 18 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 5.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Mostraumen Golden Circle Fjordtour from Bergen 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.
