Private Waterfall Day Tour Itinerary

Your private tour guide will collect you from your Bergen accommodation for an exciting day of admiring some of the best waterfalls in Western Norway. Your guide will tell you about the significance of the locations on the itinerary as you relax in one of our luxury executive vehicles.

Fossen Bratte

For the first attraction of your private tour, you’ll stop at the Fossen Bratte. It’s affectionately known as the “Bridal Veil” waterfall, given the water spreads into a soft mist, resembling a veil. The waterfall plunges approximately 80 meters (260 feet), and from the nearby viewing platform, you’ll have an excellent vantage point for photographs and a close-up view.

As you enjoy this scenic waterfall, your private guide can tell you the tragic story of the young bride. According to local folklore, the waterfall was the scene of a tragic tale involving a young bride who met a sorrowful fate at the edge of the cliff.

Steinsdalsfossen

Your journey continues at one of Norway’s most beloved natural attractions, Steinsdalsfossen. What makes this 50-meter (164-foot) waterfall so special is the unique opportunity to walk behind the waterfall without getting wet. Your guide will lead you through from the car park to the back of the falls, and you’ll hear the magic sound of falling water before you see it.

As you step behind the waterfall, you’ll stand in a sea of mist and rock, where the sound and movement of water surround you in an immersive experience. It’s a thrilling yet safe encounter with nature, perfect for capturing one-of-a-kind photos.

Hardangerfjord and Local Lunch

After that thrilling experience, relax in your luxury vehicle as your private guide takes you along the scenic drive along the Hardangerfjord. You’ll stop for lunch at a picturesque restaurant where you can try a variety of local dishes while enjoying fjord views. It’s the perfect break in your day to reflect on the waterfalls you’ve seen and anticipate what lies ahead.

Skjervsfossen Waterfall

After a scenic lunch, your next destination is Skjervsfossen, a pair of twin waterfalls that plunge side by side into a narrow gorge. You’ll start at the upper viewing platform, where you’ll get a bird’s-eye perspective of the cascading water. Your private guide will then lead you down the stone staircase trail, known as the “Waterfall Trail.” You’ll feel the spray of water around you as you descend into the misty surroundings.

Espelandsfossen

For the final waterfall of the day, your private guide will take you to Espelandsfossen. This is the hidden gem of the tour, with this cascade lesser known than the others you have visited. This beautiful, two-tiered waterfall cascades over the rocks and cliffs into a lush, green valley. This waterfall is very rarely crowded, meaning you’ll have the chance to reflect, take perfect photos, and just enjoy the moment with your loved ones.

Return to Bergen

Although the main attractions are over, the drive home will be enjoyable as you pass tranquil lakes, farms, and mountain passes. Your guide can pull over if there are particular sights you’d like to stop and enjoy. Your private guide will then return you to your accommodation in Bergen, where you can reflect on a one-of-a-kind experience.
