Tour description
You start the tour from Bergen with a bus trip to Norheimsund and further on by the express boat to Lofthus, an idyllic fruit village in the heart of the Hardangerfjord. Here you will have an orchard walk, get three cider tastings, and visit the farm shop of Alvavoll Fruit and Sidergard.
After the orchard walk, you board the Vision of the Fjords. The boat runs on electricity and the trip is quite an experience in itself. From the large and open decks, you can enjoy a silent and comfortable trip over the beautiful Hardangerfjord.
You disembark the boat at Aga where you will visit Aga Sideri, a cider manufacturer that produces some of the finest cider available in Norway. At the cider farm, you will learn more about how traditional Hardanger Cider is made and have three tastings. You will also have time to visit the farm shop in case you want to stock up on some new favorites. Afterward, a delicious homemade lunch will be served in historic Agatunet, where you will also have a short guided tour.
