What people are saying about Vestland County

While the trip was great, we were lucky that our schedule allowed for a curveball. We booked a cruise at 11:30 am on 2/25 thru Get Your Guide. Well the cruise times on that day were 10am and 2pm, thankfully the operator honored our ticket and we took the 2PM trip.

Beautiful scenery, mountains and waterfalls. Narrator described important features and history. The boat captain parked the boat right under a huge waterfall to allow plenty of time for pictures and to take in the full experience.

Such a great experience! A must do while in Bergen. Great views on the upper deck and warm seating inside with drinks, coffee, and snacks. The views are stunning with plenty of photo opportunities throughout the 3.5 hour journey.

It was a very relaxing experience to see the fjords and the waterfall. It was awesome to be so close!

Gorgeous view. You think the beginning is beautiful but it gets only better and better…
