The RIB from Flåm is the option that returns to its start. - 'The Seven Sisters waterfall is on the Nærøyfjord': it is on the Geirangerfjord near Geiranger; UNESCO puts the two fjords 120 km apart. - 'The Nærøyfjord is the narrowest fjord in the world': it is about 250 m wide at its narrowest and often called one of the narrowest; this site does not repeat the superlative. ## If you are citing this site Cite the homepage.
