Flåm is one of several fjord villages located by the Aurlandsfjord. Flåm is a fantastic starting point for many great adventures in beautiful and wild nature.

Where the Aurlandsfjord ends, the Flåmsdalen Valley starts. If the Aurlandsfjord is an adventure, the Flåmsdalen Valley is an even more beautiful adventure, and both should be experienced.

It is easy to travel to Flåm. “All roads” leads to Flåm, and you can also get there by train via the Bergen Line and Flåm Railway. If you take the Flåm Railway down to Flåm, you will experience the beautiful Flåmsdalen Valley at the same time.

Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord – What to See and Do

Flåm, Aurland and Gudvangen are perfect starting points for experiences in and around the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, two of the world’s most beautiful and dramatic fjords. On 14 July 2005, the Nærøyfjord together with the Geirangerfjord became part of our common UNESCO’s world heritage .

From Flåm you can take part in a fjord safari or a fjord cruise on the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord. You can take this fjord cruise as a round trip (both ways) or one way combined with bus between Flåm and Gudvangen. See the great view from Stegastein viewpoint , 650 meters above Aurland . Taste the local goat’s cheese in Undredal or in Skjerdal , two villages by the Aurlandsfjord.

Flåm Railway is the train journey from fjord to mountain, perhaps the most beautiful railway in the world. You can combine this train journey with cycling along Rallarvegen which goes from the high mountains via Flåmsdalen Valley to Flåm. Aurlandsdalen Valley is one of Norway’s most popular hikes. The lower part of Aurlandsdalen, which is also the most popular, starts from Østerbø and ends at Vassbygdi in Aurland.

The Flåm Valley is a beautiful adventure. The valley between Myrdal (866.8 masl) and Flåm by the Aurlandsfjord is 18 kilometer long. The valley is narrow and the mountains are steep, and there are waterfalls and rivers wherever you turn around. Flåm Valley is a great place for hiking and biking . Flåm Zipline sends you off at over 100 kilometers per hour, you are just hanging in a thin steel wire high above the valley.

Gudvangen is one of two ports where the iconic ferry trip along the inner part of the Sognefjord departs and arrives. Visit the Viking village Njardarheimr in Gudvangen and experience the history and culture of the Viking Age.

The Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord are both part of the 204 kilometer long Sognefjord which is located in the northern part of the county of Vestland, in the middle of Western Norway.

1. Choosing the Right Time: The best time to embark on a Fjord Safari Flam is during the summer months, typically from May to September. During this period, the weather is milder, and the days are longer, allowing for better visibility and more time to explore. It’s advisable to check the weather forecast before booking your tour to ensure optimal conditions.

2. Selecting a Tour Operator: There are several tour operators that offer Fjord Safari Flam experiences, so it’s important to choose one that fits your preferences and needs. Consider factors such as the duration of the tour, the size of the group, the level of expertise of the guides, and the safety measures in place. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from other travelers can help you make an informed decision.

3. Booking in Advance: The Fjord Safari Flam is a popular attraction, and spaces can fill up quickly, especially during peak tourist seasons. It’s advisable to book your tour in advance to secure your spot and avoid any disappointment.

4. Dressing Appropriately: The weather in Norway can be unpredictable, even during the summer months.

Don’t forget to bring a waterproof jacket, comfortable footwear, and sun protection, as you’ll be exposed to the elements during the boat tour.

Choosing the Right Tour Operator

When it comes to embarking on a Fjord Safari Flam adventure, choosing the right tour operator is crucial in ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a tour operator for your Fjord Safari Flam:

1. Experience and Expertise: Look for a tour operator that has a proven track record and extensive experience in conducting fjord safaris. An experienced tour operator will have well-trained guides who are knowledgeable about the local area, history, wildlife, and safety protocols. They can provide valuable insights and ensure a safe and informative journey.

2. Safety Measures: Safety should be a top priority when choosing a tour operator. Verify that the company has proper licenses and adheres to safety regulations. Ensure that the boats are well-maintained, equipped with necessary safety equipment, and carry a limited number of passengers to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

3. Tour Duration and Itinerary: Consider the duration of the tour and the itinerary offered by the tour operator. Some operators may offer shorter tours, while others provide longer, more comprehensive experiences. Think about how much time you want to spend on the water and what activities or sights you would like to include in your itinerary. Remember to strike a balance between the duration and the level of adventure you desire.

4. Group Size: Check whether the tour operator limits the size of the tour group. Smaller groups allow for a more personalized experience, with better opportunities to interact with the guide and ask questions. They also offer a more intimate and immersive encounter with the fjords and wildlife.

5. Reviews and Recommendations: Research online reviews and seek recommendations from friends or fellow travelers who have experienced the Fjord Safari Flam. Reviews can provide insights into the quality of the tour operator’s services, professionalism, and customer satisfaction. Take into account both positive and negative feedback to make an informed decision.

6. Environmental Responsibility: Consider the tour operator’s commitment to environmental conservation and sustainability. Look for operators who follow responsible tourism practices, such as minimizing their impact on the environment and supporting local conservation efforts. Choosing an operator with a focus on sustainability ensures that you are contributing to the preservation of the natural beauty of the fjords.

By considering these factors, you can choose a reputable and reliable tour operator for your Fjord Safari Flam experience. Remember, the right tour operator can enhance your journey, providing you with an unforgettable adventure through the stunning fjords of Flam.

Safety Tips for the Fjord Safari Flam

The Fjord Safari Flam is an exciting and adventurous experience, but it’s important to prioritize safety during your journey. Here are some essential safety tips to keep in mind:

1. Follow the Guide’s Instructions: Listen carefully to the instructions given by your guide before and during the tour. They are experienced professionals who understand the hazards and safety protocols of the fjords. Follow their guidance, especially regarding proper seating arrangements, wearing safety equipment, and maintaining a safe distance from wildlife.

2. Wear a Life Jacket: It is mandatory to wear a life jacket throughout the Fjord Safari Flam. Make sure to fasten it properly and keep it on until you are back on land. Life jackets are designed to keep you afloat in the event of an emergency and are an essential safety precaution.

3. Dress Appropriately: Wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions. Even if it’s warm on land, the temperature on the water can be colder, so layer your clothing to stay comfortable. Don’t forget to bring a waterproof jacket, as you may encounter splashes from the boat or changing weather conditions.

4. Be Mindful of Wildlife: The fjords are home to a variety of wildlife, including seals, porpoises, and birds. While it’s exciting to spot these creatures, maintain a respectful distance and avoid disturbing them. Do not attempt to touch or feed any wildlife. Respecting their natural habitat ensures both your safety and the well-being of the animals.

5. Stay Seated and Hold On: While on the boat, always stay seated and hold on to the provided handrails or straps. Fjord Safari Flam tours can be fast-paced and bumpy at times, especially in more turbulent areas. Holding on will help you maintain your balance and prevent any accidental falls.

6. Protect Yourself from the Sun: The sun’s rays can be strong, especially when reflecting off the water. Apply sunscreen before setting off on the Fjord Safari Flam and consider wearing a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays.

7. Inform the Guide of Any Medical Conditions: If you have any medical conditions or physical limitations, it’s important to inform your guide before the tour begins. They can provide additional guidance and ensure your safety throughout the journey.

8. Stay Hydrated: Bring a water bottle with you and stay hydrated throughout the tour. Even if the weather is cooler, the combination of the sun and the wind can lead to dehydration. Drinking plenty of water will help keep you alert and comfortable.

9. Be Prepared for Changing Weather: Norwegian weather can be unpredictable, and conditions on the fjords can change rapidly. Bring a waterproof jacket and be prepared for changing weather conditions. It’s better to be over-prepared than caught off guard by unexpected rain or wind.

By following these safety tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable Fjord Safari Flam experience. Remember, your safety is a priority, and taking precautions will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure of the Norwegian fjords.

Photography Tips for the Fjord Safari Flam

The Fjord Safari Flam offers photographers a goldmine of captivating landscapes, wildlife, and moments to capture. To make the most of your photography experience during the tour, here are some helpful tips:

1. Pack the Right Gear: Carry a camera with a versatile lens that allows you to capture both wide-angle scenic shots and zoom in for close-ups of wildlife. If you have a waterproof or water-resistant camera or case, bring it along to protect your equipment from any splashes or light rain.

2. Prepare for Changing Lighting Conditions: The lighting conditions during the Fjord Safari Flam can change rapidly, especially if clouds come and go. Be ready to adjust your camera settings accordingly. For bright and sunny conditions, use a lower ISO and faster shutter speed. When the lighting is dim or when photographing waterfalls, consider using a tripod and longer exposure times.

3. Experiment with Perspectives: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different angles and perspectives. Capture the grandeur of the fjords by shooting from a low angle to emphasize their height and immensity. Get up close to the water and capture reflections or unique textures. Be creative and showcase the beauty of the fjords from your own unique perspective.

4. Focus on Wildlife: Keep an eye out for wildlife opportunities during the tour. Patience is key when capturing animal encounters. Focus on their eyes and capture their natural behavior and interactions. Use burst mode or a fast shutter speed to increase your chances of capturing the perfect wildlife shot.

5. Utilize the Rule of Thirds: The rule of thirds can add balance and interest to your photos. Imagine dividing the frame into a grid of nine equal parts, and place key elements of your composition along the lines or at the intersection points. This can help create a visually pleasing and dynamic image.

6. Capture the Essence of Motion: The sense of motion can add a dynamic element to your photos. Experiment with slower shutter speeds to capture the movement of the boat or the flowing water. This technique can create a sense of energy and convey the excitement of the Fjord Safari Flam.

7. Pay Attention to Details: Be on the lookout for unique and interesting details that capture the essence of the fjords. This could be the intricate patterns formed by the cliffs, the interplay of light and shadows, or the delicate wildflowers that dot the landscape. By focusing on the smaller details, you can create powerful and evocative images.

8. Don’t Forget to Enjoy the Moment: While capturing stunning photographs is important, remember to take the time to soak in the beauty of the fjords with your own eyes. Sometimes the most memorable moments are the ones we experience firsthand, without the lens of a camera. Take breaks from shooting to fully appreciate the wonder and tranquility of the surroundings.

With these photography tips in mind, you’re ready to embark on your Fjord Safari Flam and capture its beauty through your lens. Embrace the adventure and let your creativity flow as you capture the stunning landscapes, wildlife encounters, and magical moments that unfold during your tour.
