Overview

Discover Fyksesund, the only roadless branch of the Hardangerfjord, on a 1-hour small-group RIB safari from Øystese. Cruise from the open waters of the Hardangerfjord into a narrow and dramatic fjord arm surrounded by steep mountains, waterfalls, and quiet, untouched scenery far from the main tourist routes.

Along the way, your local skipper shares stories about the landscape, fjord life, and the people who once lived here. You’ll also pass the historic hamlet of Botnen, a remote settlement that was only accessible by boat.

With high-speed thrills, close-up waterfall moments, and a strong sense of place, this tour combines adventure, nature, and local history in one unforgettable fjord experience.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (7)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Hardangerfjord RIB Safari to Roadless Fyksesund from Øystese?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
