Geiranger is considered by many to be the jewel among all the beautiful fjords our elongated country has to offer. High waterfalls and pristine, untamed nature, with mountains up to 1700 meters plunging vertically into the fjord, are just some of the undeniably magnificent sights to be found. Abandoned farms such as Blomberg, Matvik, and Skagefla also help to tell the story of the Geirangerfjord. For a memorable experience, we recommend you take a boat trip in Geiranger with us.

A historic piece of Norway
We are proud to give you a glimpse of life lived in the Geriangerfjord. With our rich knowledge of local history of the fjord, we make sure you have more than just a sightseeing tour. Let us take you back in time to Ragnhild, a woman who lived in the small town of Bringa near Bringefossen. She was known as the best beer brewer along the fjord. Today, only the walls of the once renowned brewery remain to tell the story of Ragnhild. Blomberg farm is located well into the mountains and bears the history of two young girls who had to leave their families to live alone for a period due to tuberculosis. Queen Sonja has spent the night at Blomberg. We look forward to sharing our rich history knowledge with you.

Are RIB boats safe?
Due to damage related to ocean rafting, RIB boats have gained a frayed reputation that is difficult to shake. However, Bonseye does not do sea rafting – the Geirangerfjord is a closed fjord system with small waves. Since our inception in 2015, we have not had a single injury among either passengers or crew. Additionally, each passenger is insured through Gjensidige. In other words, there’s nothing to worry about.
