Join Bonseye on a beautiful Geiranger boat trip. We provide the best way to experience the Geirangerfjord, where you get close to nature and have by far the most spectacular views. Our employees are passionate about their profession and are committed to giving you a unique experience in what we consider to be Norway’s most beautiful nature. A Geiranger boat trip includes seeing famous waterfalls, such as the Seven Sisters, the Friaren, and the Bridal Veil. You get to experience the waterfalls as they should be experienced – from the fjord. Our RIB boats bring you close to the surface of the water and close to the sea spray and the majesty of the steep mountains. In addition to the scenery, we give you the local stories to enhance your experience.
A protected piece of Norway
The Geirangerfjord is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List and has been depicted on countless works of art throughout history – not without reason. Geiranger has also been voted by National Geographic as one of the best-preserved World Heritage sites, and we at Bonseye are proud to be able to do our part to maintain this prestigious location. Our fleet consists of a fully powered electric boat and three low-emission boats. With an electric RIB the only sounds you hear are the ones nature has to offer. Sustainability and care of this beautiful place is a top priority. Feel free to look at our website where we have posted videos and pictures to get more insight into what our boat trips can offer.
Close to the local stories
Did you know that the right of nobility depends on the fact that a farm must have been in the family for at least four generations? On many of the farms in the Geirangerfjord, the farmer was considered a freeman as early as 1603. There are many clues in the history books that help tell the story of the lives of those who lived in the steep mountains that surround the Geirangerfjord. At Bonseye, we are passionate about conveying our knowledge of those lives to you. We’ve acquired our knowledge through public archives, village books, and those who have met the last people that lived on these abandoned farms. While some of the farms were taken by avalanches, rockslides, or landslides, many have been restored and can be seen during our Geiranger boat trip.

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.
