More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard in Bergen as gulls wheel above the harbor and the old wooden wharf of Bryggen slides astern. The city’s seven mountains recede, and the boat threads under the Nordhordland pontoon bridge into the 27‑km-long Osterfjord, where water and stone begin to argue over who shapes the view.

History
The Osterfjord corridor has been used for coastal travel and small‑scale farming for centuries; settlements here developed around fishing and seasonal grazing rather than large ports.
Conservation
This coastline is sensitive—avoid leaving waste ashore, stick to designated landing spots, and support local cafés and operators who follow low‑impact practices.

Bring a waterproof outer layer
Weather changes fast on the fjord; a breathable waterproof jacket keeps you warm and dry during spray and rain.
Pack a swimsuit and towel
You can take a waterfall shower or swim in the fjord—bring quick‑dry swimwear and use the onboard warm shower afterward.
Prepare for limited cell service
Once inside Osterfjord reception is spotty—download maps and arrange meeting plans before departure.

Onboard decks and rocky village quays can be slick—wear closed, grippy footwear.
