Norway is the undisputed king of fjords, with more than 1,100 of these beautiful geological features scattered along the vast coastline. You will find fjords pretty much wherever you go, but a handful of them are extra special and definitely worth seeking out.

From Bergen, you have the opportunity to visit Norway’s two largest fjords, the Sognefjord and the Hardangerfjord. Guided Fjord Tours arranges day tours to several destinations in these areas daily from Bergen. We are ready in all seasons to guide you through the most beautiful landscape in the world.

Top-Rated Tours in Bergen

Definitely recommend doing this if you don't have more time to explore the beautiful surroundings of Bregen. Norway is just amazing.

We had a fabulous trip up the fjords crew were lovely and it was managed very well and adjusted according to the weather conditions we thoroughly enjoyed the experience well worth it.

This trip leaves from close to the fish market in the centre of Bergen. The fast catamaran quickly gets you to the narrower part of the fjord where the views are simply breathtaking. We stood outside for much of the trip, but they sell reasonably priced hot drinks on board to warm you up. Highlights are the whirlpools and waterfalls at the far end at Mostraumen.

We had a great time with our tour guide Frode, he was excellent, very knowledgeable and great conversationalist. I highly would recommend this tour for anyone looking to enjoy great views and a delicious lunch.

What people love about norwegian fjords tours.

Active and rewarding trip.

Just finished our tour. Everything went smoothly and the staff at Tour Radar were quick to respond when I had a question while traveling. The hotel rooms in Oslo and Bergen were a bit small. I would recommend the upgrade but the locations and breakfasts in both were excellent. Our favorite hotel, by far, was the Kivnes in Balestrand. Just beautiful and right on the fiord. Thank you Tour Radar!

Fjords, Pharaohs or Koalas? Time to Plan for Your Next Eclipse.

If you can’t get enough of totality, or missed out this time, you’ll have three more chances in the next four years in destinations like Iceland, Spain, Egypt and Australia.

• Share full article

By Danielle Dowling

Are you still a little giddy from the magical moments of totality during Monday’s solar eclipse? Or did clouds swoop in to block your view? Maybe you just couldn’t make it to the path of totality this time. No matter what, the question now is “ Where and when will it happen again?”

“People who have never seen it before, the first words out of their mouth after the totality ends is ‘I’ve got to see another one, this is incredible, this is unbelievable.’ That is when you become addicted to these things and end up traveling no matter where the next one is,” said Joseph Rao, an eclipse chaser and guest lecturer at the Hayden Planetarium.

So, if like Mr. Rao, you’ve developed a raging case of umbraphilia — the love of eclipses — you’ll have three chances over the next four years to see the moon blot out the sun. The first, on Aug. 12, 2026, will start above Greenland, then strafe the west coast of Iceland and move along the Atlantic Ocean and over Spain. Almost a year later, on Aug. 2, 2027, another will skirt the Mediterranean coast of North Africa then cross Egypt and part of the Arabian Peninsula. The third, on July 22, 2028, will cut across Australia and the southern tip of New Zealand.

Future Eclipses

Eclipse chasers will have several more chances this decade to view a total solar eclipse .

Last week, as Victoria Sahami , the owner of Sirius Travel , was preparing to guide a group of tourists in Mazatlán, Mexico, for Monday’s big event, she was also planning for these other upcoming eclipses. Ms. Sahami joined the ranks of the eclipse-obsessed when she witnessed one in Venezuela in the 1990s. “Like many people, I was hooked. There was no going back,” she said.

Total solar eclipses happen fairly regularly — about every one to two years — in locations scattered around the world. “That’s the great thing about them: You wind up in places that you don’t normally go,” Ms. Sahami said.

A major spoiler is weather, which will be a big variable in the 2026 eclipse — one Greenland, Iceland and Spain will see.

“Iceland normally has a lot of cloud during that time of year,” said Paul Maley , who runs Ring of Fire Expeditions . “The data shows Spain to have the higher good-weather prospects of all three. However, the sun is low in the sky and the eclipse ends as the sun hits the horizon at sunset.”

Because of Iceland’s mercurial meteorology, Ring of Fire Expeditions is going all in on Spain, with a 10-day excursion on the mainland. Sirius Travel is offering not only a five-day trip to Majorca but also an eight-day tour around Iceland. It will be based in Reykjavik, and the itinerary will remain flexible on the day of the eclipse so the tour can easily pivot toward the location with the least cloud cover. Ms. Sahami recommends the trip for those who already have a few eclipses under their belt and would be happy just to take in the sights of Iceland if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

The 2027 eclipse, on the other hand, promises to be truly stellar: Luxor, Egypt — the site of numerous ancient temples as well as the Valleys of the Kings and Queens — sits right in the middle of the path of totality and will be bathed in darkness for a full 6 minutes 23 seconds. Weather-wise, it is what Ms. Sahami called “a slam dunk.” “You know you’re going to see it. You know that you’re not going to get any clouds,” she said.

But for all its potential, those considering Egypt should be aware that the State Department has a Level 3 “Reconsider Travel” warning for the country because of the risk of terrorism.

The 2028 eclipse will darken the skies over Sydney, Australia, for 3 minutes 49 seconds. It will be the first time the city has experienced a total solar eclipse since 1857. Ms. Sahami has her eyes on a trip based out of there, while Mr. Maley has chartered a cruise ship off the northwest coast of Australia. It will be winter there, he said, but that isn’t likely to mean bad eclipse-viewing weather.

If you want to see any (or all) of these eclipses, you should get started on planning and booking now, particularly if you want to sign up for a trip organized by a tour company. One of Sirius Travel’s excursions to Luxor is already full.

Scrutinize refund policies and look into insuring your trip. Several companies will fully refund your deposit if you cancel a year in advance. A lot can happen, Ms. Sahami said, “but if you think you’re going to go, why not?”

Travel route & highlights.

Oslo - Myrdal

The Bergen Railway: Your journey from Oslo starts by traveling on the Bergen Railway westwards to Myrdal. This is Northern Europe's highest stretch of railway and the line crosses the mighty Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The Bergen Railway has several times been named one of the world's best railway experiences.

Myrdal - Flåm

The Flåm Railway: Upon arrival in Myrdal, you change trains to the amazing Flåm Railway. The ride down to Flåm takes about 1 hour and the journey offers panoramic views of some of the wildest and most magnificent nature in the Norwegian fjord landscape. During the ride, there will be a short stop at the spectacular Kjosfossen Waterfall. The Flåm Railway also regularly features on lists of the world's best railway rides.

Flåm - Gudvangen

Electric fjord cruise: From Flåm, you venture out onto the fjord on a silent and electric-powered boat. The cruise takes you through the stunning Aurlandsfjord and the majestic UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord. With steep mountainsides, towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, and small hamlets, this fjord cruise on the Nærøyfjord is perhaps the most outstanding natural attraction in all of Norway. A definitive highlight!

Gudvangen - Voss

Scenic bus ride: Upon arrival in Gudvangen, a comfortable bus will be waiting for you. The ride towards Voss goes through the scenic landscape of Western Norway, with lush woodlands, cascading waterfalls, and charming villages.

Voss - Bergen

The Bergen Railway: This comfortable train ride through the diverse mountain and fjord landscape takes you to the charming city of Bergen.

Bergen is known as the city between the seven mountains and the gateway to the fjords. The city was founded almost a thousand years ago in 1070 by Olav Kyrre. This is the urban hub of Western Norway, and Bergen offers activities and enjoyment for all. A minimum of one overnight stay is required in Bergen, but we highly recommend two overnight stays here. This will give you time to explore and get to know one of the country's most beautiful and historic cities!

Bergen - Rosendal

Express boat cruise: After one or more nights in Bergen, you are ready to continue your adventure by traveling by boat along the raw coastal scenery of Norway's West Coast.

You will be traveling in a comfortable, modern, and spacious vessel, and during the trip, you will have excellent views of the beautiful, untamed landscapes passing by. Enjoy the views from the inside lounge, or venture out on the large deck to take in the experience.

From Rosendal to Odda you travel on by bus. If you want, you can add time to explore Rosendal.

Odda - Ulvik - Eidfjord

Fjord cruise on the Hardangerfjord: The Hardangerfjord is truly a unique fjord. Here you will find villages nestled in tradition and heritage, living alongside innovative new industries such as fish farms and hydropower plants. The fjord cruise on the Hardangerfjord takes you through a landscape of idyllic orchards, lush fruit farms, and powerful glaciers. You stay overnight in the charming fjord village of Ulvik , beautifully situated by the fjord and a perfect place to enjoy splendid nature and local cultural experiences.

Eidfjord - Vøringsfossen waterfall

Sightseeing trip: After your overnight stay in Ulvik, you continue your tour from Eidfjord to perhaps the biggest (literally) highlight; the jaw-dropping Vøringsfossen Waterfall. This mighty waterfall has a drop of 182 meters and is flanked by several stunning lookout points. The lookout points are innovatively designed to let you feel the power of the cascading waters. And if you dare - you can even cross the waterfall on a bridge!

On your way to the Vøringsfossen waterfall, you stop by the Norwegian Nature Centre Hardanger . This is an exciting experience center for Norwegian nature, climate, and environment. It is also a great place to have a quick lunch break.

Vøringsfossen - Geilo

Bus ride crossing Hardangervidda: Hardangervidda is Norway's largest National Park, and the journey over the beautiful and untouched wilderness landscape is filled with contrast. The mountain plateau is located above the alpine tree line and has a distinctively alpine climate with reindeer herds among the largest in the world.

Our safari in Tanzania exceeded all expectations! Travel Plus Tour ensured a seamless journey, from booking to the safari itself. The game drives were unforgettable, spotting the Big Five and witnessing the Great Migration was awe-inspiring. Our accommodations were luxurious, and the staff was incredibly attentive. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure we'll cherish forever!

Visiting Lapland with this Travel Plus Tour was like stepping into a winter fairytale. The Northern Lights were breathtaking, and husky sledding through the snowy forests was pure joy.

Exploring Japan with this agency was an unforgettable cultural immersion. Kyoto's ancient temples and traditional tea ceremonies were captivating.
