Everything You Need to Know About Renting a Boat in Flåm
Flåm is one of the most breathtaking places in the world to experience by boat.
With its majestic mountains, waterfalls plunging into the fjord, and calm waters, this is a landscape unlike any other. That’s why many choose boat rentals in Flåm as the perfect starting point to explore the fjord on their own terms.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family day trip, or simply want some time alone on the water, here’s everything you need to know before renting a boat in Flåm.
Two Reliable and User-Friendly Boat Options
We offer two types of boats, both designed to be easy to operate and safe:
River 420
Equipped with a 25-horsepower engine, this model seats up to 4–5 people. It’s ideal for couples, small groups, or families looking for a smooth and simple way to explore the fjord.
River 460
A larger and more comfortable version, also with a 25-horsepower engine. It features a better layout, cushioned seating, and a convertible sun deck at the front. This boat seats up to 6 adults and one child, making it perfect if you want extra space and comfort.
Both boats are stable, easy to steer, and do not require a boating license as long as you’re over 16 years old.
Explore the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord at Your Own Pace
With your own boat, you have the freedom to explore the stunning attractions along the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord entirely on your terms. One of our top recommendations is a visit to Lægdafossen, one of the most impressive waterfalls in the area.
You can also dock in Undredal, a charming village known for its traditional goat cheese and one of Norway’s smallest stave churches. Further into the fjord, you’ll reach Gudvangen, the gateway to the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord. These destinations offer not just scenic beauty, but also rich cultural and historical value to your boat trip.
