This is a full day out from Bergen, seven and a half hours in total, built around the Hardangerfjord and the waterfalls near Norheimsund. Travel North runs it as a round trip by premium coach with a local guide on board, and the route mixes long scenic drives with short, well spaced stops where you actually get off the bus. A short ferry crossing breaks up the driving early in the day.
The day starts at one of two pickup points, Strandkaien 17 or the Hurtigruten terminal, then heads south through the tunnels that Western Norway is known for. After the ferry, the coach pauses in Mundheim where the fjord opens up, then again at Strandebarm for a walk along the water. Lunch is served at Berge Gard & Gartneri, a garden and plant nursery, before the tour moves on to two waterfalls, including Steinsdalsfossen, where a path lets you walk behind the falling water. The return leg runs through Kvamskogen and past Fossen Bratte before dropping you back where you started.
It suits travellers who want to see a lot of Hardanger in one day with someone else handling the driving. Reviewers repeatedly describe the pace as relaxed, the guides as knowledgeable, and the lunch as a highlight. It is mostly a bus tour, so it works best for people happy to spend a fair portion of the day riding between stops.
A few practical points will help you get the most out of this day, from what to wear to how the time is split between the bus and the stops.
Common issues. The main thing to understand before booking is that this is a bus tour, and some travellers felt the listing could have been clearer about how limited the boat time is, since the ferry crossing lasts only 15 minutes. The operator notes that Western Norway's roads and landscape can cause occasional delays, so it is best not to plan anything tightly for the end of the day. Hotel pickup and drop off are not included, nor are gratuities. Smoking is not permitted in the vehicle or indoors.
