Such a fantastic experience
The RIB boat travelled at a pace that made the ride exciting, yet slow enough for us to fully appreciate the breathtaking nature around us. The highlight was Mostraumen, which was an unforgettable experience. The lunch venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and it was served by friendly staff. All in all, it was a truly magical day that I would highly recommend.

Experiential tour in beautiful surroundings
Very adventurous tour into the Osterfjord with waterfalls, beautiful fjords and beautiful coastal farms up to Mo. Got to see old salmon caves where they fished salmon in old days. Good lunch and felt us well cared for throughout the trip. The lunch took place in Fjærå sjøhus and we were served good and traditional beta soup. The reception from the host was fantastic, was received by Erlend Mjøs and Co. This is a trip I can highly recommend.

One of the Highlights of Our Norway Trip
Fantastic family-friendly fjord adventure My wife, our 9-year-old daughter, and I joined this tour in May, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Norway. The RIB ride was exciting and great fun without feeling too long or tiring. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and we loved getting up close to waterfall in Modalen and experiencing parts of the fjords that would be difficult to see otherwise. One of the most memorable moments was stopping to drink fresh water straight from a waterfall – something our daughter is still talking about! Our guide Erlend was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the trip, making everyone feel safe and welcome. The entire experience was very well organized, with a seamless start and finish in Bergen, which made the day completely stress-free. The lunch in the seafront "sjohus" after the boat ride was also excellent and a perfect way to finish the tour. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bergen, especially families looking for a fun and memorable fjord adventure.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari from Bergen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari from Bergen cost?
+
Prices start at $275 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 RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari from Bergen take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari from Bergen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari 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 RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari from Bergen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari from Bergen?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does RIB Adventure to Modalen Guided Fjord Safari 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.
