Bergen from the sea

Begin your adventure by departing from the historic harbor of Bergen. Start among the iconic piers and maritime atmosphere that has characterized the city for hundreds of years. Then, set sail through the straits, fjords, and island kingdoms west of the city.

Experience the true coastal culture of Vestland up close. Listen as your guide shares stories about life along the coast, from old trade routes and fishing villages to today's modern society that still lives close to the sea. Pass small islands, sea houses, and traditional boathouses that bear witness to generations of life and work along the fjord.

Gain insight into Norway's modern oil and energy industry. Along the trail, see the traces of one of the country's most important industries, with installations, supply vessels, and activity related to the offshore industry that has helped shape the region.

Learn how fishing still plays an important role for the local communities along the coast. You may also spot fishing boats at work or seabirds following the boat through the fjord.

Admire the spectacular landscape. Steep mountain slopes, narrow straits, open seas, and idyllic islands create a contrasting experience where nature is constantly changing character. With the wind in your face and views of the fjord and mountains, experience the raw and beautiful nature of West Norway from the front row.
