One of the highlights of our Norway trip
This was one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Norway and absolutely worth the NOK 890 per person.
Everything was very well organised from the beginning. The meeting point was correctly marked on Google Maps and easy to find. We were welcomed by name when we arrived, and the staff took a photo of the three of us before departure.
I had called Bonseye earlier to change our departure time, and this was arranged without any problem. About 30 minutes before the tour, they called us again to check whether we still wanted to go because the weather had become very bad. Norwegian weather, especially inside a fjord, can change quickly and is difficult to predict. We decided to go – and we are very happy that we did.
Before departure, we were provided with warm waterproof floating suits, life jackets and protective glasses. The staff helped each of us choose the right size and helped us put everything on properly, so we felt very well prepared for the rain, cold and water.
The tour lasted about 75 minutes and was exactly as described. There were only three passengers on our departure, which made the experience feel very personal and relaxed.
Our captain, Bjørn, was absolutely fantastic. He told us about the history of Geirangerfjord, the people who once lived there, local stories and legends, and pointed out details we would never have noticed ourselves. He clearly knows the fjord extremely well and made the tour feel much more personal than ordinary sightseeing.
Because of the heavy rain, the waterfalls were incredibly full and powerful. We were lucky enough to see all Seven Sisters at their best, and the bad weather actually made the landscape even more dramatic.
One of the most memorable moments was when Bjørn took us close to Friaren and we were able to drink fresh water directly from the waterfall. That is a memory we will keep for a very long time.
Bjørn also took photos of us during the experience, which was a lovely bonus.
Despite the heavy rain, low clouds and cold weather, this became one of the absolute highlights of our holiday. The organisation was excellent, the equipment was good, we felt safe and well looked after, and Bjørn made the whole experience unforgettable.
A huge thank you to Bonseye and especially to Bjørn. We would absolutely do this again and recommend it without hesitation – especially for couples, friends and anyone looking for a small-group adventure in Geirangerfjord.
