Description

Experience Bergen from the sea on a guided RIB boat tour. Glide past the iconic Bryggen, see the historic Bergenhus Fortress, and admire the views of Fløyen, the fishmarket and Ulriken.
Begin your adventure near Bryggen, the iconic, colorful wooden buildings listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. From the water, get a unique perspective of the slightly leaning facades and the long history dating back to the Hanseatic era.

As the boat slowly moves out into Vågen harbor, the landscape opens up, and you can look up toward Fløyen and Ulriken, two of the most famous mountains surrounding the city. Low-hanging clouds often create a mystical atmosphere—typical of western Norway.

Pass Bergenhus Fortress, one of Norway’s oldest and best-preserved fortifications. See the historic Håkon’s Hall and the Rosenkrantz Tower, both reminders of Bergen’s role as a center of power in the Middle Ages.

As the boat continues toward more open fjord areas, small islands and boathouses appear scattered along the coastline. You might also spot seagulls following the boat—or even a seal surfacing in the water.

The sound of waves against the hull, the fresh sea air, and the views of both city and mountains make the boat tour a relaxing and memorable experience. It’s a perfect way to experience Bergen—whether it’s your first visit or you want to see the city from a new perspective.
