kimkim gem 4.8 (23 reviews)
Zip along the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord from and to Flåm, pausing in the small village of Undredal to sample local cheeses.

Overview

Discover the Aurlandsfjord and UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, two arms of the Sognefjord, on a gentle, rigid inflatable boat (RIB) safari, starting from Flåm's inner harbor. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, enjoy spectacular fjord scenery and insightful storytelling. The trip includes a stop in the charming village of Undredal, where you'll taste award-winning goat cheese at a local farm and may see the smallest stave church in Scandinavia.
Kimkim Gem kimkim gem
Skimming across fjords on a low, nimble RIB creates a sense of scale and drama that larger boats simply can't match. The small open-air watercraft makes it an immersive experience: you'll be eye-to-eye with dozens of waterfalls (a recent traveler counted 58), with sheer mountains towering overhead and the feeling of wind and spray on your face. A goat cheese tasting may seem like an unlikely accompaniment to an adventure like this one, but trust the process; the pitstop in the famed village of Undredal is an exceptional treat. 

Gems are a curated collection of exceptional stays, activities, and locations that capture what makes traveling with kimkim special. Handpicked and vetted by our team of experts, they stand out among our offerings for having a particularly authentic sense of place, an elevated feel and aesthetic, and above-and-beyond hospitality. In short, Gems are our most memorable travel experiences—and we hope they'll soon be yours, too.

What you'll do

Your adventure starts from Flåm's inner harbor, where you'll meet your charismatic guide. You'll gear up and then load into your RIB. The boats are small, fitting approximately 12 people, which ensures a more personal experience and allows you to get up close to the beautiful surroundings. As you set off through the fjords, your guide will share fascinating tales and local history, making the experience both educational and entertaining. You'll zoom past towering cliffs and over pristine waters.

On your way back toward Flåm, you'll make a stop and go ashore to visit the charming village of Undredal, nestled between tall mountains. Here, you'll be greeted by your host from a local cheese farm. This part of the excursion includes a short introduction to the traditions and production process of their award-winning goat cheese. You'll then have the chance to taste several types of cheese served with flatbread and jam—a delightful treat for foodies and a perfect way to immerse yourself in the local culture.

The speed boat ride was the experience, but the stop to taste the local cheese was a nice touch.
