The Nærøyfjord is the most beautiful and most wild of the side arms to the Sognefjord. Beautiful nature with steep mountain sides, snow covered mountain tops, wild waterfalls and a live cultural landscape. Nærøyfjord being one of the two fjords in Norway in the UNESCO world heritage list – is certainly one of the most dramatic fjord experiences you could possibly have.
