Fjord Tours
BOAT TOUR

)
Fjord Tours has mastered the art of making the most of limited time with a series of tours
into the fjords. Its popular and year-round
Norway in a Nutshell
tour is a great way to
see far more than you thought possible in a single day.
The day ticket (adult/child Nkr1145/585) from Bergen combines a morning train to Voss,
a bus to the Stalheim Hotel and then on to Gudvangen, from where a ferry takes you up
the spectacular Nærøyfjord to Flåm, joining the stunning mountain railway to Myrdal, and
then taking a train back to Bergen in time for a late dinner (or for Nkr1550/790 per adult/
child you can continue on to Oslo to arrive at around 10pm).
From May to September, Fjord Tours also runs a range of train-bus-boat round-trips
from Bergen, including the 10-hour
Hardangerfjord in a Nutshell
(adult/child Nkr1180/
490), which goes via Voss, Ulvik, Eidfjord and Norheimsund, and
Sognefjord in a Nut-
shell
(adult/child Nkr1340/670), which explores more of Sognefjord by boat. It also has
four-day tours (adult/child Nkr5560/3460) that include Oslo, Sognefjorden, Geiranger
and Ålesund.
