The UNESCO Naeroyfjord

Summer on Naeroyfjord by Sverre Hjornevik, Flam AS

The UNESCO Naeroyfjord – one of the highlights of Norway!

The dramatic Unesco Naeroyfjord is one of the inner branches of the main Sognefjord, as well as the narrower branch:
The 17 kilometre long fjord is only 250 m wide on its narrower point, with steep mountain sides and no road access.
Tiny farms cling unbelievably to the steep mountain sides!

Naeroyfjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has also been rated by the National Geographic Society as the world’s number one natural heritage site along with the Geirangerfjord.

There are daily fjord cruises on the Naeroyfjord all year during the Norway in a Nutshell® tours

What our customers say:

I wanted to thank everybody. We had a wonderful trip. Everything went well and fortunately we had the chance to see the lights while on the cruise. All my friends in Turkey would like to go on a similar trip. So I will be in touch with you. Thanks again and best wishes to all of you.

Candan, Turkey
We just recently completed the Tromso, Northern Lights & Arctic Coast tour. I am writing to say what an amazing tour we had. Everything ran smoothly without an issue, the accommodation was fantastic and the tours were brilliant. We cannot fault the package at all. I would also like to thank Franziska and Lene, they both were fantastic in answering all my questions promptly, whilst booking the tour. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable holiday!

Robert, Australia
Thank you for assisting us with our trip to Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kirkenes and the Snow Hotel. The arrangements you made for us were perfect. The lodging was comfortable and the excursions were fun. Tom and I rarely use the services of a travel company when we travel; you enriched our trip and made the planning easy.
