About the experience

From Ulvik and the Hardanger Bridge to untouched fjord landscapes, secluded waterfalls, and roadless settlements deep inside the Osafjord.

This RIB safari takes you from Ulvik into the Osafjord, a quiet and secluded fjord branch where untouched nature, roadless settlements, waterfalls, and traces of authentic local life still shape the landscape. Far from the busier fjord destinations, this is Hardangerfjord at its most personal: dramatic, peaceful, and deeply connected to the people who have lived here for generations.


We depart from Ulvik and cruise out into the Hardangerfjord towards the Hardanger Bridge, Norway’s longest suspension bridge and one of the great landmarks of the region. After the bridge we turn away from the main fjord and continue into the Osafjord, following the eastern, roadless side of the fjord – an area only accessible by boat..


Along the route, we pass the former fjord settlement of Bagnstrondi, the powerful Døgro waterfall cascading directly into the fjord, and the abandoned mountain farm of Sygnestveit. Your local guide shares stories about life along the fjord, where the sea was once the only connection to the outside world, and where everyday life was built around nature, seasons, and the rhythm of the fjord.


This trip offers a rare balance of excitement and tranquillity. On open stretches, you feel the speed and power of the RIB. In the more sheltered parts of the Osafjord, we slow down and let the scenery, silence, and stories take centre stage. For travellers looking beyond the crowded highlights, this is an exclusive way to experience the Norwegian fjords – close to nature, close to local history, and far from the ordinary.
