About us
The beginning
Hardangerfjord Adventure AS was founded in the fall of 2018 by mainly owners from the tourism industry in the municipalities of Ullensvang (former Jondal) and Kvam in Hardanger.
Here we can name the owners of Kramsjø B&B in Herand, Hardanger House in Jondal, Hardingasete at Ljones, Thon Hotel Sandven in Norheimsund, Hardangerfjord Hotel in Øystese and Hardanger Aqua Centre in Øystese/Steinstø.
The project
Hardangerfjord Adventure started as an project idea of providing more experiences for visiting guests to mid-region of the Hardangerfjord.
Our first strategy was to offer fjord safaries on the Hardangerfjord withRigig Inflatable Boats (RIB's).
By working together with our owners since the beginning we have developed several cominated products and pre-packed days. And today we conduct both fjord safaries, guided hiking tours, ski touring and pre-packed days together with several trusted partners.
Through our partner collaborations we have also tailored both half, full ord multiple days for filled with activities, accommodation, meals and transport. Today we tailor trips to the Hardangerfjord for leisure groups, corporate groups and incentive groups.
Expanding
In 2023 we expaned with a summer base in Ulvik municiplaity. And we now offer RIB tours with two RIB's all year around.
Several new owners came into the company like Brakanes hotel, Hardanger guesthouse and the "Fruit and cider route" in Ulvik, and Vøringsfoss hotel in Eidfjord.
Our Vision and Values
At Hardangerfjord Adventure, our vision is to offer unique insights into the fjord landscape and life along the Hardangerfjord. We want our guests to experience more than just the views — to truly feel the pulse of the fjord, the traditions of the villages, and the rhythm of daily life along its shores.
Our mission is to cultivate sustainable tourism and community growth. We believe that responsible travel should benefit both visitors and locals, and that the natural beauty of Hardanger must be protected for future generations. By working closely with local partners, accommodations, farms, and guides, we help ensure that the value of tourism stays within the region and strengthens the communities we are part of.

All our guides are locals who live and breathe the Hardangerfjord every day. Their deep connection to the fjord, combined with a genuine passion for storytelling, nature, and safety, ensures that every journey becomes more than just an activity — it becomes an experience to remember. Whether you’re exploring the fjord on a RIB safari or hiking through mountain trails, our guides share the hidden stories and authentic spirit of Hardanger.
Looking Ahead
Hardangerfjord Adventure continues to grow with new experiences and destinations across the fjord. Our goal is to become the leading activity provider in the region, known for high-quality service, authentic encounters, and unforgettable fjord adventures — all year round.
