Highlights Of Akrafjorden

OVERVIEW

Cruise through an absolutely gorgeous fjord to one of Norway’s most photographed waterfalls, which you will see from two different perspectives. Although it will take about two hours to reach Akrafjorden – including a drive through the sea tunnel deep beneath Hardangerfjord – the journey will be well worth the effort as the scenery will be spectacular. The cruise will begin in Fjæra, a tiny village at the innermost end of mirror-like Akrafjorden. You will pass sheer mountain cliffs, lush hillsides and roaring waterfalls, none more dramatic than Langfoss. Unlike cascades that spill straight down into the sea, Langfoss rushes along the rocky terrain never leaving the ground. It is an extraordinary sight as it is one of the longest waterfalls in Norway. If you look closely, you may see hikers along the challenging path that leads to the top of Langfoss. You will enjoy another view of the cascade after dining at the Eljarvik Restaurant.
