Private tour is a great way to explore the Northern Lights scenery, as that way we can really customise the tour to match your needs or wishes. Either it's the late arrival social distancing, family holiday, group of friends/colleagues, demanding photographers or adventurers who want us to take you to the hilltops to get THE Northern Lights photo. It's also a great way to get 100% of guide's attention, to learn more about local history and nature and also about your camera settings, if you are keen to learn about Aurora photography. In case we don't have availability on a given day you wish to join us, please send us an email and we see, what can we do about it. Please contact us, if you want to get the rate of the tour, if there are less than 8 of you.

Explore one of the Hardangerfjord’s most secluded fjord branches on a guided RIB safari from Norheimsund. This small-group boat tour takes you deep into Fyksesund, a narrow and peaceful fjord arm surrounded by steep mountains and untouched nature. We depart from Norheimsund and travel through the Hardangerfjord before entering Fyksesund, where the landscape becomes quieter and more remote. Along the way, your local captain slows down at selected points so you can enjoy the scenery and take photos. We stop outside Botnen, a historic roadless settlement, and hear stories about fjord life, culture, and local history. Fyksesund changes character throughout the year. In spring and after rainfall, waterfalls stream down the mountainsides. In winter, many freeze into striking ice formations. This RIB safari combines speed, comfort, and storytelling, offering a memorable fjord experience in every season.
