The classic loop by minibus

A minibus takes you from Bergen via Dale and Tvindefossen to the Viking village at Gudvangen, an electric boat carries you to Flåm, and the Flåm Railway climbs to Myrdal for the train back. It is the lowest-priced guided day on this site, in a minibus instead of a coach.

Viking Village, Nærøyfjorden Cruise & Flåm Railway

About this experience

Fjordrive Tours sells three listings that overlap: this one, a winter version on the same route, and the longer Stegastein day. This is the main one. A black Mercedes Sprinter leaves the Tourist Information at Strandkaien 1, stops for 15 minutes at Dale and 15 minutes at Tvindefossen, a 116 m waterfall north of Voss, and reaches Gudvangen for about an hour and a half at the Njardarheimr Viking village, with a guided tour and lunch to buy.

An electric boat then takes two hours through the Nærøyfjord to Flåm. After about 30 minutes there, the Flåm Railway climbs to Myrdal in 55 minutes, you get a 20-minute break at the mountain station, and the Bergen Line takes about 2 h 45 back to Strømgaten 4, by Bergen station.

Timing depends on the month. The listing's 2026 timetable starts at 08:00 in April and from October to 12 December, with the train at 14:45 (14:30 from November), and at 09:00 from May to September with the 18:25 train, which puts you back in Bergen at 21:33. Off-season you are back at about 18:17. From October to mid-December this listing and the winter one sell what looks like the same day, so compare both for your date. One guest found it hard to get back to their hotel: the day ends at Bergen station, not at your door.

Tips before you book

  • Check which start time applies to your month: 08:00 or 09:00.
  • Buy lunch at the Viking village. The listing does not include it.
  • Views switch sides on the way up from Flåm. Most guides say sit on the right going up, and everyone gets out at Kjosfossen anyway.
  • In summer you are back at 21:33: eat properly at Gudvangen or in Flåm.
  • Plan your own way from Bergen station to your hotel before you leave.
