About This Adventure
Experience the thrill of high-speed boat transport from Skagefla to Geiranger, taking just under 15 minutes. Enjoy the scenic fjord views and embark on a memorable hike to Skageflå. With hourly departures and the option to bring your dog, this summer adventure promises excitement and stunning landscapes for all ages.
We offer boat transport from Skagefla to Geiranger and back every day, every hour from 10:45 to 18:45 throughout the summer season.
The transport is with high-speed RIB boats that are very stable and comfortable. At the same time, the trip goes at high speed so that you arrive in just under 15 minutes.
You can either buy a ticket one way or for a roundtrip.
The most common is to buy a ticket for a boat trip out and that you go all the way back to Geiranger. You will then be transported to Skagehola, which is located right down by the fjord and is the starting point for the mountain hike up to Skageflå.
The trip back from Skagehola runs every hour from 10:45 to 18:45. You must then be ready by the fjord no later than ten past half (xx: 40).
The hike from Skagehola to Skageflå takes approx. 45 minutes each way.
You are welcome to bring a dog on the boat.
