Discover the most secluded fjord branch of the Hardangerfjord on a guided RIB safari from Norheimsund. This small-group boat tour takes you deep into Fyksesund – a narrow, dramatic fjord branch known for its silence, steep mountainsides, and untouched character.
We depart from Norheimsund and head south through the strait before continuing east along the Hardangerfjord. As we enter Fyksesund, the landscape changes noticeably. The inner part of the fjord feels remote and timeless, with almost no modern development. Here, the water is calm, the mountains rise straight from the fjord, and nature sets the pace.
Along the way, your local captain slows down and makes several stops so you can fully take in the scenery and capture photos. We stop outside Botnen, a historic, roadless settlement that adds a strong cultural and historical dimension to the journey. You will hear stories about fjord life, seasonal farming, and how people once lived in this isolated part of Hardanger.
Fyksesund is a constantly changing landscape. In spring and after rainfall, countless waterfalls stream down the mountainsides. In winter, many freeze into impressive ice formations, creating a completely different atmosphere. Every season offers a unique experience.
This tour is ideal for travellers who want to combine speed, comfort, nature, and local storytelling – without crowds.
