Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.
*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    The views are as expected nice without being anything extraordinary. Overpriced for its value though, pretty much as everything else here

    This is a gorgeous boat, and an excellent orientation to the geography and history of Oslo. Our guide gave us so much wonderful information. The boat is 100% renewable powered, and it's so quiet underway!

    The tour was very fun. Jon & Martin were our guides. We learned a lot about the fjord islands and they also adapted the tour to the individual needs of the participants. My highlight was the jump in the warm fjord during heavy rain with our guide Jon!

    We arrived 20 minutes early and the boat was nearly full. It is open seating, so prepare to share small benches with strangers. Drinks are weak and expensive for what you get.

    Overall, we had a good time. Thousands of shrimp available with no limit to your consumption. You must remove the heads and peel them yourself, but that can add to the experience if you’re into that kind of thing.

    Oslo fjord is not one of the dramatic fjords you’d expect to see in Norway. It’s more like a harbor you sail around for three hours while you look at foothills in the distance. The harbor is clean and beautiful, however, with friendly boaters and charming little boat houses.

    Boat staff is friendly and the music enlivens the ride a bit. You can even request the songs you’d like to hear. Our boat ended up having an ABBA singalong, which was Scandinavian af. Overall a fun time. 👍

    Lovely tour, comfortable boat, pleasant people. You might want to opt for the written tour. The verbal tour is via website and we had difficulty downloading it.

    We loved this self-guided tour. This was really nothing more than having someone else buy you train, bus, and ferry tickets but it was nice to not have to worry about coordinating the timing since there are a lot of transfers. The communication from TripAdvisor was great. They sent instructions ahead of time and contact us before the trip to make sure we have everything we need.

    The views from the train and ferry were absolutely amazing. The only reason for the 4 stars is because we did our tour on a Sunday and by the time we got to Bergen, everything was closed. It was still nice to walk around the town but I wish we would’ve gotten a heads up instead of being a little disappointed with the “grand finale”.

    We’re also so glad we opted for the sleeper car on the train ride back to Oslo. It was so nice to be able to lay down and sleep after a whole day of traveling.

    First of all, this review is written from the perspective of almost not being able to do the trip at all because of terrible storms and flooding and landslides so we felt blessed that we were able to make it.

    Janis (the cool one) was amazing. He was flexible with all the activities given the extra time because of the cancellation of the train portion of our trip. He got us to the boat just in time for boarding with no waste of time. We made many stops and diversions along the way to see secret Little photo opportunities off the beaten path.

    As possible request that you divert to the meteor park for a nice hike to stretch the legs and it's a beautiful views and a little bit of science history.

    The cruise was amazing and we were again, lucky enough to get perfect weather.

    There was a option to stop and buy tickets to visit the inside of a old church which we opted out of again, leaving more time to adventure and see some special hidden away sites.

    On the trip home we stopped at an amazing dinner at beef restaurant which was delicious.

    Thomas was amazing! He gave a great tour, was extremely knowledgeable about Norwegian history, the present day economy, etc. Thomas was very personable and generous with his time. Highly recommend the experience!

    It's just the same as any other ferry ride! I cant believe i fell into such tourist trap and paid 390 krona...... for just a round trip around the archaepalago. 한국분들 절대 이용하지 마세요! 그냥 배 90분 타고 390원 강탈해갑니다. 기대하던 피요르 구경은 전혀 없엇어요 ㅋㅋㅋ 섬 옹기종기 모여있는 경로를 한바퀴 돌고 오는건데, 이건 그냥 ferry 타면 할 수 있는 경험입니다.
