    As soon as you get off the boat in Fjaerland, you immediately board a bus and go to the glacier museum for one hour. First, we would have enjoyed spending at least 20 minutes in Fjaerland and we did not need an hour at the museum. 30 minutes was more than enough. The museum was the lowlight of this trip. We then boarded our bus to go to the glacier. We only had 15 minutes max at the glacier. We should have had at least 30 minutes as this was the highlight of the trip. As soon as we got back to Fjaerland, we had to immediately board the boat. A better itinerary that would have made this tour a 5 star would have allocated 20 minutes to visit the town, shortened the museum visit and added at least 15 minutes to the glacier visit.

    Nice adventure! Recommendation: one hour more time at the glacier and museum would be a 5 star rating!

    Love the fjord tour. The boat and crew were very friendly and helpful. Not quite enough time at glacier (but does say mini tour). Thought would have had some time in Fjaerland. Glacier museum is a must so informative and good cafe. Overall great experience.

    We did the 12.10pm from Balestrand tour. The boat was great we had lovely weather and the commentary was not constant, interesting, and not cheesy/corny - all pluses for us. We had not bought the glacier part as we intended to get the public bus (line805) from Fjaerland wharf to the glacier viewing point (you don’t go to the actual glacier on this route). You can buy the bus ticket on the skyss billett app (Zone J). Only problem is the public bus and the tour bus for this company are one and the same so the bus waits about an hour at the Museum which we didn’t really want to go to (but you could have bought an entry to the museum if you wanted). Then goes on to the glacier viewpoint where you have about 20-25 minutes. Personally I would rather have only gone to the glacier and have spent the hour wandering around Fjaerland village. But other than private car this bus seems to be the only way to get to the glacier viewpoint.

    Just so special. We were debating whether to do this trip or not because we had got so tired of travelling so much and wanted a rest. We were so pleased to have begrudgingly got on the boat! The bot sails through the beautiful sognefjord and explains various spots along the way. The water is so clear and peaceful, the mountains are monumental. We stopped at Fjærland to get a bus to the Glacier Museum, which is a sweet little place and can be done in a few minutes. Luckily for us the weather was beautiful so we were able to spend more time outside. Then back on the bus to the Glacier. We’d recommend going off the main path and hitching a right. You don’t get as close to the base of the glacier, but we were the only people at the secluded spot. It felt like a private viewing of the beautiful glacier. We even got the chance to dip our feet in, as the water was much more shallow. It was such an incredible experience, being able to do such a thing. Go. Enjoy.
