The journey up to Fløyen (320 m above sea level) takes 5–8 minutes and is an experience in itself. At the top, you can enjoy fantastic views over Bergen. There are endless opportunities for walks on Fløyen, and you will also find a cafe, restaurant and children’s playground. The funicular runs daily all year round from early morning to late evening.

Fjordcruise to Mostraumen

Experience the fjords, mountains and waterfalls – all year round! On the way from Bergen the guests will have a good view of the famous Bryggen and the old city of Bergen. Furthermore, we sail under Nordhordalandsbrua and on the Osterfjord. When we approach Mostraumen the fjord gets narrower and the guests are surrounded by steep mountains. We sail past several waterfalls, and if you are lucky, we will try to collect a sample of the fresh mountain water for the guests to taste. On the return, we sail around Osterøy. We make a stop by a waterfall called Heskjedalsfossen, which is a beautiful twin waterfall and a popular spot to take pictures. The tour then continues back to Bergen. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area, and we can often see seals, goats and eagles! This fjord cruise takes 3.5 hours. In the low season (October-April) the 10:00 a.m. departure will have a duration of 3 hours. The tour goes directly to Mostraumen and back to Bergen and does not include the tour around Osterøy.
