Select participants and date
The bus peels away from the pier and the village of Geiranger shrinks into a ribbon of roofs below. Curtains of water pour from rock faces; the fjord sits like a polished dark blade between cliffs. As the coach threads the hairpin turns of Eagle Road, the landscape begins to pull upward—each bend widens the view until the famous Seven Sisters waterfall drops into sight, daring you to look away.

Camera ready
Battery and memory—photo stops are short, so have your camera set up in advance.

Meet between the pier and public bus stop 15 minutes before departure; guides wear a light-blue EXCURSIONS.NO jacket.
