After a quick safety brief, you set out on the fjord. The experienced captain guides you through the fjords, making informative stops along the way. During the trip, you might see goats walking towards the boat in Hotle, spot seals in the sea and on land, and marvel at the rich birdlife, including seabirds that vary with the seasons.
The tour can go in two different directions depending on the weather conditions. The first option is to continue towards the Simadalsfjord, where one of Norway’s largest power plants is nestled within the mountains. The guide will tell you about its operations and show its connection to iconic landmarks like Vøringsfossen, Hardangerjøkulen glacier, and Sysendammen. You can see the spectacular Kjeåsen Farm on a cliff high above the fjord.
The other option is to drive towards the Hardanger Bridge. It is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, and the guide will share many interesting facts about its construction.
