Bergen
Start in Bergen, leaving the harbor and Bryggen behind as you head east on the E16.

You will see the city give way to open landscapes, with glimpses of the sea or distant peaks in almost every direction.

Tvindefossen
A little further along the E16, you reach Tvindefossen, a 116‑meter “twin” waterfall that plunges down a steep rock face just steps from the road. Enjoy a view of the waterfall framed by mossy stones and roaring streams, with a small spring basin where many stop to drink “reviving” water. The stop is short but striking, perfect for photos and a quick walk behind the falls.

Flamsbana, fjords, and waterfalls
This was a fantastic experience. We had another operator cancel last minute for almost same tour and booked this late as a replacement and Artemy was awesome. He even took us on a detour that we asked for and added time to our trip which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future!
Response from the operator: Hi Oliver, Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear that the day turned into such a memorable one, especially after the last-minute change of plans. We never cancel on our guests :) We’re really glad Artemy could step in and make the trip flexible and enjoyable, including the extra detour. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to him. We appreciate the recommendation and would be happy to have you join us again in the future! Best regards, Elena Easy Travel Team

Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $513 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 Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour 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 Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". 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 Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour?
+
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 Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour 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 Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour?
+
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 Small Group Nærøyfjord Cruise, Vikings and Flåm Railway Day Tour 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.
