39 ONE DAY GROUP INCENTIVE IN BERGEN GATEWAY TO THE FJORD EXPERIENCE A one-day group incentive with a visit to magic white caves and a farm by the Nærøyfjord, a ride on the Flåm Railway and even a tour in a helicopter.

40 MAGIC WHITE CAVES IN GUDVANGEN The group is picked up from the hotel in Bergen by private coach for a drive along fjords, lakes and mountains to Gudvangen. First stop of the day at the unforgettable white caves by the Nærøyfjord. You will venture deep into the caves on a memorable tour characterised by shifting moods and lights, colours, music, silence and darkness.

41 BBQ WITH LOCAL FOOD After the caves, the coach takes the group down to the fjord and a privately chartered fjord sightseeing boat for a 30- minute cruise to the small farm Styvi. A large BBQ buffet lunch based on local ingredients will be prepared by a local chef, and served by the fjord. A guided tour of the farm can also be offered.

42 CRUISE ALONG THE NÆRØYFJORD After lunch, the tour continues with a cruise on thenærøyfjord, which is one of the narrowest fjords in the world. You will pass beautiful waterfalls as the fjord winds its way to the village of Flåm.
