Explore Aurland & Aurlandsfjord, Aurland

Aurland is a popular tourist region in central-western Norway, as it's home to the Nærøyfjord, a stunning arm of the Sognefjord, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This fjord is accessible from the nearby village of Flåm, which sits on the edge of the Aurlandsfjord. Flåm Harbor is a major port of call for cruise ships, for obvious reasons, but it's also the embarkation point for your fun speedboat tour through the Aurlandsfjord and the Nærøyfjord.

After the tour, you'll transfer to the charming wharf town of Skjerdal, where a 1.5-hour (3.5 km) hike leads to the Leim Goat Farm. This hiking trail abounds with breathtaking fjord views and waterfalls, so be sure to have your camera ready. At the goat farm, an instructive presentation reveals the secrets behind making traditional goat cheese, followed by a tasting of the final savory product. Consider that the first course, because you'll then enjoy a delicious lunch utilizing local produce.
