About this tour
Vøringsfossen is the reason most cruise passengers choose to go ashore in Eidfjord. This sightseeing tour combines the waterfall viewpoints, Hardangervidda Nature Centre, and the dramatic Måbødalen valley in one carefully timed shore excursion.
The scenic drive from Eidfjord pier follows the Eio River through Måbødalen before reaching Fossli Hotel viewpoint stops and Hardangervidda Nature Centre. Short walks lead to photography points where you can see the waterfall, the canyon, and the surrounding Hardangerfjord mountains.
Designed for cruise passengers, the tour accounts for typical port windows and return-to-ship requirements. You spend your hours ashore on waterfall and mountain scenery rather than in unnecessary transfers — making this the signature choice when you have four or more hours in Eidfjord.
