- Bergen - The tour begins in Bergen, known as the Gateway to the Fjords. Established in 1070, Bergen is rich in historical and cultural landmarks, some of which will be seen as we depart and return to the city.
- Osteroy Municipality - Sørfjorden, or the South fjord, is part of the Osterfjord, a unique natural feature: a saltwater inlet encircling Northern Europe’s largest inland island, Osterøy Island, surrounded by mainland. The journey follows the South fjord to the crossroads at Trengereid. (Typically, there is no stop here.)
- Trengereid rundkøyring - From Trengereid village, Route #7 is taken to the Hardangerfjord. (A stop is not usually made here.)
- Hardangervegen - Hardangervegen, or the Hardanger Road, is Norwegian route #7, a tourist attraction itself. The route offers stunning views of mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. Two photo stops are planned at Fossen Bratte and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls en route to the Hardangerfjord.
- Fossen Bratte - A stop is made at Fossen Bratte waterfall, standing 259 feet (79 meters) tall. The view is spectacular, perfect for memorable photos. A short walk to the waterfall’s base is highly recommended to experience the refreshing mist.
- Steinsdalsfossen Waterfall - The next stop is Steinsdalsfossen waterfall, 164 feet (50 meters) tall. Visitors can walk behind the waterfall without getting wet, and a walk to the viewpoint is highly recommended.
- Hardanger - The Hardangerfjord, Norway’s second-longest fjord, is followed to Granvin, crossing the fjord on the Hardanger Bridge, continuing to Eidfjord.
- Skårsvatnet - After passing Norheimsund and Øystese, a short detour is taken to Skårsvatnet, the Goldfish Lake, home to a large population of tame golden orfe, often seen near the shore.
- Fyksesund Bridge - The journey continues to Fyksesundet, a narrow fjord crossed by the Fyksesund suspension bridge, built in 1937.
- Steinstø Fruktgard - On the other side of Fyksesundet is Steinstø, a small farming community with a fruit farm, kiosk, and café. A stop for coffee, apple pie, and fjord views is possible.
- Hardanger Fjord - The journey continues along the fjord, offering views of the natural beauty and quaint villages along the coast.
- Hardanger Bridge - The tour reaches a narrow section of the Hardangerfjord, crossing on the Hardanger Bridge, a 2013 suspension bridge with a 1310-meter (4300 ft) main span, preceded by an 8 km (5 miles) tunnel. A viewpoint stop offers views of the fjord and bridge.
- Norsk Natursenter - Hardanger - After passing Eidfjord, a popular cruise destination, the tour visits Øvre Eidfjord’s “Norwegian Nature Center – Hardanger,” a museum and visitor center for Hardangervidda National Park, showcasing the region’s flora, fauna, geology, and history. A panoramic film “Norway my country - fjords, mountains, waterfalls and Hardangervidda” is shown. Lunch is available at a cozy café, open from April 1 to October 31. Off-season, lunch is in Eidfjord.
- Vøringfossen - The main destination is Vøringsfossen waterfall, 182 meters (597 ft) tall, at the end of Måbødalen valley where Hardangervidda begins. The viewpoint features secure platforms overhanging the waterfall and canyon, offering mesmerizing views of the cascading waters and rugged valley.
If time permits, the tour may continue to the Hardangervidda plateau above the timberline, where the landscape transitions to bare mountains.
After visiting Vøringsfossen and possibly the Hardangervidda plateau, the tour returns to Bergen via the Hardangerfjord, crossing the bridge and passing through Voss. The tour concludes in Bergen.
- Skjervsfossen Waterfall - On the return to Bergen, a short detour is taken to Skjervsfossen, featuring twin falls plunging from a height of 150 meters.
