Two contrasting fjord branches in one memorable journey
Booking
Departing from Ulvik, this tour takes you out into the Hardangerfjord and deep into two of its most distinctive fjord branches – the Simadalsfjord and the Osafjord. Early on, you pass beneath the impressive Hardanger Bridge before entering the dramatic scenery of Simadalsfjord, where steep mountain walls, waterfalls, and clear fjord waters set the scene.
The journey continues into the Osafjord, a narrow and tranquil fjord branch where the road ends and the sea once served as the main route of travel. Here, roadless settlements, abandoned farms, and a quiet cultural landscape tell stories of life shaped by nature and isolation. Your guide shares insights into how people lived along the fjord in the past, and how the fjord still defines the area today.
Along the way, there are several stops to take in the scenery, enjoy the atmosphere, and capture photos. Seals and sea eagles are often seen in these calmer fjord branches, adding to the sense of being close to nature.
