The programme

We set off on board our coach for a scenic tour that, over about an hour and a half, leads us towards the Åkrafjorden.
First, we cut through Haugesund, passing the famous city hall – considered the most handsome in all of Norway – and a number of residential districts before heading into open country.
Our first stop is a truly magical place, the Langfoss waterfall. With a total drop of 612 m, it is the fifth-highest waterfall in Norway, and was included in CNN’s list of the ten most beautiful waterfalls in the world, a judgement echoed in many other quarters.
A boat will be waiting to whisk us across the blue waters of the fjord to the base of this natural wonder which, according to legend, has mysterious powers that can boost fertility.
We disembark, then, at Eljarvik Farm – where we risk remaining spellbound by the breathtaking view of the falls – and enjoy a delicious lunch in one of the local restaurants before boarding our coach once again and reach the port.
