What you'll see and do
Bergen
Our tour starts in the city of Bergen - the Gateway to the Fjords. The city, founded in 1070, contains many historical and cultural landmarks. We will pass some of them on our way from the city and also on our return to Bergen.
1 minutes here
Osteroy Municipality
Sørfjorden or the South fjord is part of the Osterfjord which is a peculiar natural phenomenon: an salt water inlet that surrounds the largest inland island in Northern Europe—Osterøy Island—enclosed by continental land. We drive along the South fjord until we come the crossroads in Trengereid. (Usually we do not stop here.)
1 minutes here
From the village of Trengereid we take Route #7 to the Hardangerfjord. (Usually we do not stop here.)
Pass by without stopping
Hardangervegen or the Hardanger Road is Norwegian route #7. This road is a tourist attraction in itself. We will see beautiful sights along the way: mountains, lakes and waterfalls. On the way to the Hardangerfjord we will make two photo stops at 2 waterfalls: Fossen Bratte and Steinsdalsfossen.
1 minutes here
Fossen Bratte
We make a stop at Fossen Bratte waterfall – 259 feet (79 meters) tall. The view is great and you can take some memorable pictures here. A short walking tour to the bottom of the waterfall is highly recommended - you simply must feel the roaring freshness and gentle and pure water drops on your face.
20 minutes here
Steinsdalsfossen Waterfall
The next stop is at Steinsdalsfossen waterfall – 164 feet (50 meters) tall. You can actually walk behind the falling water without getting wet. A walk behind the waterfall to the viewpoint is highly recommended.
25 minutes here
Fyksesund Bridge
After passing through two quaint small towns Norheimsund and Øystese, we continue on to Fyksesundet – a narrow fjord that we cross on Fyksesund suspension bridge, built in 1937.
Pass by without stopping
On the other side of Fyksesundet lies Steinstø – a small farming community with Steinstø fruit farm and fruit kiosk and café. We can stop there for a cup of coffee, a piece of apple pie and a view of the fjord.
20 minutes here
Hardanger
The Hardangerfjord is the second longest fjord in Norway. We will be travelling along the fjord to Granvin, cross the fjord on the Hardanger bridge and continue our journey to Eidfjord.
1 minutes here
Skjervsfossen Waterfall
Before we cross the Hardangerfjord we take a short detour on an alternate road and make a stop at Skjervsfossen waterfall, with its twin falls plunging out from a height of 150 metres.
10 minutes here
Hardanger Bridge
After a while, we come to one of the Hardangerfjord's narrower places. Here we will cross the fjord on the Hardanger Bridge – a suspension bridge from 2013 with a main span of 1310 metres (4300 ft). This magnificent structure is preceded by an 8 km (5 miles) long tunnel. Another tunnel awaits on the other side. We stop at the viewpoint overlooking the fjord and the bridge on the other side.
10 minutes here
When we have passed the village of Eidfjord, a popular cruise ship destination, we drive to Øvre Eidfjord, where we will have time for lunch at the cosy yet spacious Hardangervidda Hall Restaurant (open April—October). There will be other possibilities to have lunch along the way. While stopping in Øvre Eidfjord, you can also visit the "Norwegian Nature Center – Hardanger", a museum and visitor center of the Hardangervidda National Park, dedicated to flora, fauna, geology and history of the region (open April—October). Entrance fee is not included. There you may also watch a beautiful film on 5 screens (Supervideograph system) by a Norwegian-Italian director Ivo Caprino – a film about the magnificent sights on the Hardangervidda plateau.
40 minutes here
Voringfossen
Our next stop is Vøringsfossen waterfall, 182 metres (597 ft) tall, located at the very end of Måbødalen valley where the Hardangervidda begins. The viewpoint consists of several secure platforms overhanging the waterfall and the canyon. The view is mesmerizing: raging waters falling to the bottom of the canyon, the rugged valley with a stream meandering below surrounded by lush yet fragile tundra landscape. In case we have enough time, we may continue farther up into the Hardangervidda plateau above the timberline – where the landscape changes and we find ourselves in bare mountain landscape surrounded by rock and lichen. After Vøringsfossen waterfall, and possibly a short ride up the Hadangervidda plateau, we return to the Hardangerfjord and continue our journey to the Sørfjord.
30 minutes here
Our next stop is Husedalen valley – the valley of waterfalls. We ascend the valley and make stops at Tveitafossen waterfall and—if the road is open—at Nyastølfossen (a short hike i required). If we have enough time, and you are up to it, we can take a longer hike up the valley to the third waterfall—Nykkjesøyfossen—before we return to the fjord.
30 minutes here
Odda
We get on with our journey in the southern direction and reach the town of Odda: the largest settlement on the Hardangerfjord, an important town for tourism and industry, recently made popular by the Netflix series Ragnarok. We can stop here for a cup of coffee and a snack before we drive to Låtefossen waterfall.
1 minutes here
Latefossen Waterfall
Låtefossen is a 541 feet (165 meters) tall raging waterfall flowing into the river Opo. Actually, the waterfall is a merging of two falls: Låtefossen and Skarsfossen. Both are fuelled with water from Lotevatnet Lake uphill. This waterfall was one of the most favourite attractions among cruise ship tourists in the 19th century. This stop is our southernmost. From here, we start our return to Bergen.
15 minutes here
We drive back to Odda and through the Folgefonn Tunnel to the main Hardanger fjord. The Folgefonn Tunnel is Norway's fourth longest tunnel, as of 2020: 11.15 km long, dug under 4500 feet of rock and the Folgefonna glacier.
Pass by without stopping
On the other side of the mountain awaits the Maurangsfjord: a cosy and secluded narrow fjord branching off the main Hardangerfjord. We drive along this fjord until we reach Furebergsfossen waterfall.
Pass by without stopping
Furebergsfossen is the last of the main 7 waterfalls on our journey. The fall is 295 feet (90 meters) tall and flows not into a lake or a river, but directly into the salty waters of the fjord.
10 minutes here
We cross the fjord on a car ferry and travel along the fjord to the village of Mundheim and head towards the neighbouring fjord – the Eikelandsfjord. From here we drive directly to Bergen.

THEE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE EVER!
I went on a solo trip to Norway this past June & I found this trip on Viator. This was the most amazing part of my trip. Vlad is one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever met. Being a woman solo on a trip & then taking a private tour, I felt comfortable from the first greeting. He is extremely knowledgeable about the region & it's history & he prepared so many resources for me to look at during the drive to each destination (maps, books, pictures, descriptions), it was very thoughtful & made me feel well cared for. The drive was extremely luxurious in his Tesla & he thought of everything, right down to bringing snacks & his homemade glog & had bottles of water on hand for me. He even played music well fitted to whatever environment we were driving through, very magical & serene. I highly recommend going on any of the tours with Vlad & his wife Jana's company. It was worth every penny & I visited the most beautiful places I could ever imagine with a knowledgeable guide all in one day. I will definitely be back to Norway & will take another tour with these wonderful people. Thank you Vlad for the most amazing experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Carrie, You made my day ! Your review means the world to us —thank you very much! We're so pleased that you had an excellent experience with our tour to seven waterfalls. Sharing Norway's stunning landscapes with guests like you is our passion. We look forward to seeing you again for another adventure! Sincerely, Vlad

Spectacular
Vlad is a wonderful, knowledgeable and accommodating guide. Time flew by on this not to be missed grand Hardanger tour, Seven waterfall stops (all unique and extremely up close) but dozens more viewed. His fascinating information and love of all things Norwegian make it a really special trip. His homemade hot glogg was delicious! So worth the money!
Response from the operator: Thank you a lot for leaving us the review! We are delighted that you enjoyed this private tour with Vlad! Best regards, Jana Morozova

SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $989 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 SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 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 SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 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.
What is included in SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours?
+
Included: Hotel/port pickup; All Fees and Taxes; Bottled water; Local professional driver-guide; and Private transport by air-conditioned minivan or car. Not included: Lunch; Entrance fee to the Norwegian Nature Center; and Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 42 listed pickup locations in and around Bergen. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours offered in?
+
It is offered in Norwegian, Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to SEVEN WATERFALLS TOUR: Private roundtrip to the Hardanger Fjord, 12 hours if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Bergen. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
