Naeroyfjord

The Nærøyfjord is one of the most gorgeous fjords in Norway (and the world!). Its unique and pristine beauty was the reason for including it on the World Heritage list by UNESCO in 2005.

You have 2 options here: 1) Travel from Gudvangen to Flåm aboard a passenger ferry, or 2) Take a private fjord cruise on a RIB (rigid inflatable boat).As this tour is an open schedule tour, the fjord cruise is not included. We can offer several alternatives which are available, help you with purchasing tickets or making a booking for you. The fjord cruise should be arranged in advance to guarantee the best experience.Alternatively, we can visit other places other like Aurland and the Stegasein lookout.
