Stop At: Molvik, Molvikagrendi, Norway
This tour has no detailed itinerary online to avoid making it a Instagram "must-see". The preservation of nature is to us as tour operators more important and we want to avoid the area being swarmed by the general cruise or bus tourist visiting Bergen.
We take less than 400 persons into this unique fjord area each year in a specially built Zodiac that has a marginal carbon footprint. Utilizing a sturdy catamaran hull and hydrofoil wings we cut emissions by more than 60% compared to any other tour operator. This way - a unique area is for the few that wants to stay away from the more "touristy" places.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Osterfjorden, Lonevag 5282 Norway
This tour happens in the intriguing and narrow waterways of the Osterfjord, -BUT away from where the larger boats are able to travel and with a skipper that knows every nook and cranny of it. Bjorn is praised in the many reviews for his ability to feel the vibe of the group to navigate shallow waters in the most capable manner.

At Stamnes village you have the photo opportunity of a real Viking ship and can see the "Brørvikskuto" which is built upon shipbuilder traditions that stretch over 1200 years back.

Listen to how it all happened from the smiling skipper.
