Superb place - Superb trip ,no fuss ,on time .
Not too busy and I'd say HjorundFjord is as impressive as Geiranger.
Super scenery.
Take your own snacks not much to eat .

Relaxing boat ride through the fjord lands! - What an enjoyable boat ride through the amazing fjord! Loved that there were stops to tiny places where people could go hiking. This is a great shore excursion for cruise ships as it was steps away from where we docked and there was a brewery to get refreshed on the way back to the ship!

Too long - It was a pleasant trip on a commuter boat. Lovely views. But we had not realized that the trip would take 4 1/2 hours and we had no time left to explore the town.

Beautiful Views With Poor Communications - This cruise offered beautiful views! We went on a rainy day which is obviously not something the cruise provider can control however, due to the weather, most people wanted to be in doors and there were more people than there were seats. The biggest issue with this excursion was the lack of communication. We had no idea what was going on most of the time including at random stops and why we were there. Also, the boat was older and the diesel fuel smell was very strong.

Be warned this is just the local ferry, no guide, do not get off the ferry you will have a long wait! - Not sure what happened here. We were told that there was an English speaking guide, air conditioned, free wifi. None of this was true. We were booked on the normal daily ferry which has a three hour route around the Fjord stopping off at various drop of points for the locals. We did not know this and like other people got off at the first stop to have a look around. As soon as we stepped off, the ferry started to leave we were lucky to get straight back on but one couple was left stranded and would have to wait until the ferry returned. All that said the views were absolutely stunning and we enjoyed the experience. But I would suggest some mis-selling going on here.

Beautiful scenery - Beautiful views and scenery. Boat was comfortable and there are 2 toilets on board. The only reason for 3 stars is , it is basically a ferry service. No commentary or information.

No communication - The views were lovely, the service could be improved, there was no information onboard regarding the history of the fjords or area that we visited and the extra stops for locals to enlight, we didn't know if we could get off and visit or browse, no communication what so ever, as stated the views were lovely.
