About Geirangerfjord
Geirangerfjord is a 15-kilometer branch of the Storfjorden. It forms an S-shaped curve surrounded by steep rock walls. These mountains rise up to 1,700 meters above sea level. The water depth reaches 258 meters.
Waterfalls like the Seven Sisters drop directly into the deep blue water. Abandoned farms sit high on the cliffs. You can see these by taking a sightseeing cruise or the Hellesylt car ferry. Read more about Ferry Prices to plan your route.
The village of Geiranger sits at the end of the fjord. It has around 215 permanent residents. Above the village, the Dalsnibba Skywalk offers Europe's highest fjord view from a road at 1,500 meters.

Wonderful experience and a beautiful boat! Definitely recommend!
Kato - Guide was amazing!! He made the trip!!!! Beautiful day! 10 Outta 10
The experience was wonderful! Very beautiful scenery and highly recommend the cruise! The guides were very knowledgeable of the fjord and its history.
This was a great tour. Mario, our guide, was informative, friendly, and fun. We learned a lot, saw beautiful scenery, and loved the rush of going fast and getting close to the waterfalls. We highly recommend this experience.
One of the highlights of our cruise of the Norway fjords. Spectacular beauty and great tour. Don't miss this one!
Great tour of the Geiranger fjord and mountains. Excellent way to see and experience the natural beauty of this area.
Very special opportunity to see the mountains, waterfalls and highlights of Geirangerfjord up close and taste a waterfall! Comfortable seats- up top is more scenic though-and lovely crew.
So good , friendly crew members. Easy to find the cruise. Every thing is so smooth. I will recommend the tour to the people who I know
I had a phenomenal time … weather was perfect … had plenty of time to get to the waterfall and back. I lucked out as a solo member of the group to have Peter, one of the tour guides in the kayak…. Great company, lots of laughter and fun!
