HELLO, AND WELCOME!

Here at Balestrand Fjord Angling, we were so thrilled to be a part of the fantastic TV series People of the North.

Our family has been sharing the magic of the Sognefjord for generations, and it was a true joy to see our home and Captain Tor's passion for fjord fishing featured on such an incredible show. This page is our special tribute, filled with stories and memories from our time on screen. We hope it inspires you to come and create your own unforgettable moments here in Balestrand."

Step into Our Story and Create Your Own Sognefjord Memory

Watching Captain Tor share his passion on People of the North was a dream come true for our family. But what the cameras captured is only the beginning. The heart of our business lies in welcoming you into our world—a world of genuine warmth, authentic stories, and the breathtaking beauty of the Sognefjord. This isn’t just a tour; it’s an authentic encounter with a living piece of fjord heritage.

Embrace the Authentic, Unpredictable Fjord

Here, the uniqueness lies in the personal touch. You’re not just a passenger on a crowded boat; you’re a guest of Captain Tor himself, a man whose family has navigated these waters for generations. It’s an intimate experience on Miss Fjords, a boat filled with character and stories. The weather can be brisk and the mood ever-changing, but that is the Sognefjord’s true charm. Your authentic meeting with Captain Tor and Miss Fjords is about embracing the unpredictable, where every journey is a new story. The fishing is real, the knowledge is passed down, and the connection is heartfelt—a true unique selling proposition that sets us apart from large, impersonal tours.

Connect with Nature’s Own Colour Palette

For us, the greatest joy is seeing your faces light up with wonder as we navigate the diverse waters of the fjord. As we venture into the Fjærlandsfjord—originally known as “Fjordland” in ancient times—you will witness the striking, jade-green colour caused by the melting glacier ice. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic fjord adventure, or a family looking for fun Sognefjord boat trips, we tailor every moment to you. In the heart of this stunning landscape, you can even visit the charming Fjærland Fjordstove Hotel, a welcoming stop on our tailored trips. It’s in these moments that we hope you find not just an experience, but a feeling of coming home.

This is more than just a destination; it’s an immersive experience that creates lasting memories. We can’t wait to share our home feeling with you and help you write your own chapter in our story.
