Designed for cruise passengers with six or more hours ashore, this tour demands reasonable fitness but delivers the fullest Sognefjord adventure available from Skjolden.

  • RIB boat transfer on Lustrafjord
  • Guided hike to Feigumfossen waterfall area
  • Fjord and mountain scenery route
  • Safety equipment and route paced for longer port calls

Cruise passenger timing advice

Confirm your cruise line's all-aboard time the morning you arrive in Skjolden.

Keep 30 to 45 minutes before all aboard to reach the pier or tender point.

Fjord weather can change quickly, pack waterproof layers and sturdy footwear.

This tour requires at least six hours ashore. Do not book on short port calls.
