After traveling up the lengthy Geirangerfjord, it's time to check out the town and go on some waterfall hikes.
After arriving in Geiranger Norway, we travel through this quintessential town which has no shortage of mountains, waterfalls, sheep, goats, and amazing views.
With only 24 hours before we need to shove off again, we try and fit in as much as possible...but make the promise that we will definitely be back someday.
Much love from Norway!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie

The obvious name for the LARGE waterfall opposite the Seven Sisters is BIG BROTHER.
A Fantastic part of our world, and deservedly a World Heritage Site.
Love you're videos. You always seem to be able to relay the essence of the places you visit. The strong waterfall opposite the seven sisters waterfalls is called "the suitor". It is the source of a legend that goes something like this; Stunned by the beauty of the seven sisters, the Suitor asked each of the seven sister for their hand in marriage, only to be turned down by all seven. In his sorrow he turned to the bottle. If you look at the waterfall, especially if you look at it straight ahead, you can clearly see the shape of a bottle where the stream splits in two before hitting the fjord.
One of my favorite things about your channel is how you describe what you see and feel, describe the scents of your surroundings, that takes it to a different level of just the visual/auditory.., but also the sensual.
What a beautiful country this is. Stunning, thanks for sharing with us.
Wonderful video. Thank you.
Beautiful country with fantastic footage on land and by drone. The shots of the waterfall when you were really close help tell the story of how tall and massive they looked. It has to be 100 times better in person and it was still stunning in this video. This is one of my favorite MJ Sailing episodes to date. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for following David, we're glad you enjoyed it! 😃
The 'Hurtiguten' ships that leave from Bergen every afternoon, do in Summer months cruise the Geiranger Fjord, and from memory i think they spend 3 or 4 at the village of Geiranger...................................One of the special places in the world!!
We had so many of those ships pass us along the coast, and since we had to motor so much anyway, we kept thinking 'We should just hop on that!!', lol.
@@MJSailing They are a really interesting way of cruising, in the all the ships in the 'Hurtigruten' fleet are a combination of a 5 star cruise ship, a working vessel that carries cargo, and a ferry that the average Joe uses to get around on. We have done the round trip from Bergen to Kirkeness twice, and found them really interesting ships.
Wow! Just... WOW!!
Absolutely one of the best most gorgeous videos guys..you should receive an award or something!! Congratulations
Absolutely waterful.
Beautiful country, great filming, and loved your new friends (Baaaaaa!!) :) Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching Ray, and for the kind comments! 😊
Spectacular!
Thanks -
@ 10:44 Stunning scenery, beautiful woman, and a local beer. It doesn't get much better than that. And I love your music choices!! Sláinte
Who could dislike this adventure of yours? As I write this it is 122+ and 1-
Currently 1300+ and 10- .... I have no idea why people would mark this down! Perhaps they are disappointed that it isn't filmed in the tropics? It rained/wasn't sunny enough? Or there are no bikinis (though I'm sure Matt would look great in one)? It isn't their language? They don't like cruise ships and dislike the environmental pressure they create? Perhaps they have streaming issues and blame MJ Sailing for a dodgy video?
I have no idea, I don't understand why anyone would mark this down - none of the reasons I guessed at above are good enough, or right in an way.
Flumoxed.
"Who could dislike this adventure of yours?" ME!!
Because I am not on that adventure with them, so am envious. (Did not give a dislike though).
Just when I about you give up on utube, you had to produce one of the most amazing videos ever. Blessing to both of you in the new year.
Awww, thanks for the kind words. We're blushing! 😊
Very beautiful 😍👍
Sure was an abundance of views which you always do so well at capturing and presenting to us.
The drone shots helped give a perspective of how large the waterfalls were when compared to Elements.
The sheep really added personality to your hike. That was fun.
And then, Matt, "waterfall, waterfall, waterfall, waterfall, waterfall, waterfall..." Sure is a waterfall delight!!!
Happy New Year. Thank you for a beautiful start!
Marvelous!! I'm talk'n crazy beautiful. Thanks.
Thank you for all your work and time you put into your videos. Lovely ! ⛵ Smooth Sailing.
As always, outstanding video. Great coverage of the hike and the water falls. You guys never rush the videos, you took the time to say hi to the sheep and the great view of the falls and all. Thanks again, and Happy New Year ..
Job well done you two. As part Norwegian living on Lake Superior, you have now modified my trip from Duluth/Superior out to the Atlantic and beyond. Instead of heading South, I'll be going East. Cheers!!
Bless you guys!!
Each time I think you've produced my favorite episode, you come along with my new favorite! I love this view of the waterfalls in Norway, and can't wait to see what comes next in your travels.
Happy New Year Matt and Jessica. So beautiful there. If you ever get the chance to do the pacific West coast do it. The inside passage in the early season has so many waterfalls it's beyond believe.
The waterfalls simply stunning. I’ve never seen anything like it in the states.
Wow that was just Spectacular guys!! Awesome video, the drone just put it over the edge, Thanx for Sharing!! Happy new Year
Great video - can't figure out what would possess someone to give a thumbs down
Wow just magnificent , Gods glory
Thank you for sharing 💖💖
I love MJ Sailing! And thanks for keeping it clean and real and all about sailing and adventure and love your cost breakdowns and detailed repair explanations. So envious of you guys, 'cuz here in Grand Rapids.....it. is. dismal, cloudy and snowy cold.
I am so proud of you for how far you've come. I've watched you since you had a crappy camera that we couldn't hear to today. Well done!
I absolutely LOVE this video! What spectacular, awe inspiring scenery. I have no idea what 'it' is, but you have 'IT' - something undefinable but special. There are lots of beautiful people in the world but 'it' makes Marilyn Monroe and Jamie Dornan stand out from the crowd
Well done! If I had not seen this & previous episodes, I would not have known these spectacular places exist. My compliments to you. :¬) Webhead USA
What a beautiful video. I could smell the cleanness of the air in the mountains. An absolutely amazing place.
Thanks for watching Stephen! Maybe one day we can put out videos with 'smell-o-vision', lol.
The wee bit of irony is that due to all the Cruise ships the air in geiranger can get quite severly polluted on clear and still days. In that regard getting a bit of rain possibly help a little bit though. :)
Your work continues to improve. Music to set a mood. 🇨🇦
Stunning footage and well edited. Well done in getting ahead of "The Liner Mob"
happy new years, thanks for the footage of the seven sisters, sheep and goats chewing gum and doing that hike to show us the view from the top.
Thank you so much!! We're glad you enjoyed watching the hike through Geiranger as much as we enjoyed doing it. 😉
How cool you guys made it to my home area. :) It seems you missed the most beautiful fjord tho, Nordfjord :) Too bad you didn't see Geiranger on a sunny day!
It's so sad that we were on such a time crunch. 2 months to get from Bergen up to Lofoten and back. We know we missed a lot of beautiful stops, but we're thankful for the ones we did get!
@@MJSailing Yes, I understand that. The Norwegian coastline is long and the weather isn't always cooperating either and on top of that the sailing season is short in these waters
What a wonderful video.
Terrific video. Of course, I enjoyed the very early blogs when you were sailing on Lake Michigan. i wonder whether you ever do a comparison and contrast with those early days to now. The yen for adventure has remained the same and it has, clearly, paid off in a lifetime of memories. Have you made plans for the coming year?
Thank you for the kind words! Wow, a comparison to the Lake Michigan days would have lots of differences!! But most of that would be a comparison from pleasure sailing (always picking a beam reach because you have no destination) to having a specific destination and having to fight the winds to get there.
Tentative plans for 2020 are to spend April - June sailing more of southern England (Scilly Islands) and the Irish Sea including Wales and hopefully the Firth of Clyde by Glasgow. By late June we hope to be in SW Ireland to make a jump down to Spain where we'll work our way down Portugal and into the Med. But since we only get 90 days in Schengen countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Italy), we'll probably have to play a back and forth game between there and Morocco.
I've been watching you guys since shortly after you guys started work on Elements. Your quickly becoming one of my favorites if for nothing else but the fact that you seem to be resisting the latest trend to put out videos that are half an hour or longer. I just don't have time to watch those, so thank you for that. I was born in Germany and it's my dream to sail to and spend at least a year exploring Europe in general in Germany in specific. Your giving me a "sneak peek" so you know I'm watching. Great views guys. 👍 😎
Thank you Michael, and good luck on your dream of sailing Germany and Europe! 😀
What the heck. How have I never heard of you two? Subscribed 👊🏽 Boom! Great video and content.
Beautiful place!
Fascinating geology there. You can see the uplift and tilt the earth's surface in those peaks.
I enjoy every episode you put out. You are just amazing😊👍
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for making my country look so beautiful! :-)
We didn't have to do much, the landscapes did all the hard work for us. 😃
In the summer of 1989 I stayed at the camp ground visible at the very beginning of the video and at 9:45 minutes into it. I have to return. This place is really gorgeous.
Lucky you!! Did you stay in the summer? How was tourism at Geiranger then?
@@MJSailing It was in August. It was a quite touristy spot already then. Including cruse ships. We stayed only one or two nights. Can't remember. We had to cut short the visit due to a technical failure of our bus. But I still remember reading a book late at night without additional light and falling a sleep to the sound of the rapids near by the camp ground.
I see a bunch of stuff on youtube and its pretty good. Then I see your channel like a great night cap! far in a way the best there is. Good night. p.s. I hit like right when the movie starts so I can’t forget. Send me a coosie.
Beautiful once again. Thank you for being our eyes and ears to beautiful places we hope to see some day for ourselves. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2020!
Happy New Year James, thanks for watching! 😃
really love your vids. you two are so comfortable together, just one request. would you give us the depth of some of those water ways. I am fascinated by the fjords that you are traveling in
Happy new year to my favorite cruising couple! I hope you guys are staying warm in sunny England over the winter, and the 2020 brings more wonderful adventure that you generously share with us all, cheers
Aye m8’s, again a very nice vid showing good old Norway with your eyes. Thnx for the treat! 🇳🇴
When sailing in the fjords is an beautiful experience its also rather dangerous, this is due to downdraughts from the mountains. The old ppl living in Storfjord of which Geirsngerfjord is a side arm, did say that you needed to be 4 times the height of the mountain away from shore to be safe.And in the fjords that is impossible so you have to be on guard all the time.
You have made a really good video of a marvelous landscape. BTW i live not far from Geiranger
We got hit hard with wind and full sails up our first time through this area. From that point on we made sure to have all the sails tightly furled whenever close to any of these cliffs :)
Matt
I've been to Norway the last couple of years and yes you get waterfall fever, so gorgeous there!
Happy Christmas and Happy New Year! ☃️❄️😎👍
Thank you! Right back at ya! 😎
Wonderful
Wow fantastic views the scenery is just stunning in this video. No wonder you want to go back!
WOW, just amazing views around every corner! Wishing both of you and Georgia a very happy new year and may 2020 bring you all you could ask for!
Thank you for the kind words Robert, and Happy New Year to you too!
In some of your earlier videos I had the sense Matt’s smile, at times, was a little forced for the camera, but in this series he seems genuinely thrilled and thoroughly enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
If you ever decide to make a feature video of this series I’d be interested in buying it. There is something very special about this corner of the world.
Happy new year thanks for sharing your adventures
Thank you Jason, Happy New Year! 😃
Even driving a Norwegian fjord is worth a cheer and those sheep sure know how to work the tourists. :)
Epic
The waterfall on the other side of the Seven Sister are called The Suitor.
Wishing you both a very good 2020, thanks for sharing your adventures with the world
Thank you so much! 😊
Happy new decade and take care!
What a great video,such a beautiful place and so pristine,thanks for sharing your amazing journey!
so beyond beautiful! I love the music choices this episode as well. they fit great!
Wonderful, thank you very much for your very proficient videos. We see things we would never see xx
Thank you so much for the kind comments, Annette. 😊
Great work and effort and well worth it, remember it well, thank you
Beautiful, job well done Matt and Jessica. By the way, nice on opening that beer, that was funny.
18:25 I have been there on a cruise such a great place
Oh my goodness I cannot believe how friendly the animals are in Europe. I was just watching some Christmas videos of some people who live in England where are you are apparently right now. Well squirrels in parks just come running right up onto your shoulder for you to feed them nuts??? That’s insane. And the deer on their walk in this big park they were 4 foot away from them. I bet you they could have pet those deers? Also a good man a deer came out. None of those deers seemed intimidated whatsoever nor did they charge at the people or their dogs while walking through this park? I was telling my husband how crazy this is! What is up with the animals in America? Apparently they have not been loved enough throughout the years so they have an adapted to this behavior?
happy new year for together and all happyness comes, a beautifull place you show us
Dangit.. now I have to visit Geiranger on my way south.. it's just too close to make it a destination for vacation cruising and just too far for å weekend cruise.
Thx for enlighting me about my own country
Totally agree, from Østtrøndelag.
Spectacular. Thanks for sharing. Thumbed
Nice work guys. Happy New year!
I'm from Florida and the only w waterfall I get to see is what comes from the showerhead, Those were beautiful...
What a great video as away big Happy NewYear wishes.🥂🍾
Happy New Year!
Organic Lawnmowers and that is crazy those cruise ships can get in there. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Wow! Spectacular, well done.
Just saw that it was +19C on Norway’s west coast Jan. 1! Weird. 😜⛵️🇨🇦
That's warmer than we are here in England! Maybe we need another trip up to Norway, haha.
Happy New Year
Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you.
Happy New Year!
Just takes your breath away.
Just WOW!
Yes, you tapped the beer twice.. to no avail.. I happen to know of a large scale experiment - scientifically undertaken - to investigate the effect, or lack thereof, of tapping the can before opening. There was no effect of the tapping recorded!
Lovely!
Great video, fantastic scenery in Norway,
Best wishes for the New Year.
Stunning footage!! Happy New Year!!!
What an absolutely beautiful way to start our New Year! Beyond beautiful scenery and great video production you two. Happy New Year!!!
Awwww, thank you so much Jeff! Happy New Year to you too! 😃
Beautiful scenery almost as good as NZ lol!!??
The only thing that would’ve made that beer opening more classic would have been..... if one of your sheep friends would’ve run over in reared up his legs like a unicorn. To defend you, to protect you from the evil beer can😂
Beautiful video guys. Happy New Year
Great vid guys!!! Happy New Year to you two! All the very very best for your 2020! 👍
Happy New Year. Really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing.
First

Thank you Ron, happy new year!
🐐
Happy new year!
Happy New Year!
What a nice New Year's Day treat. Where did you spend the day?
We rang in the new year walking along the Barbican in Plymouth. 😊
@@MJSailing I've walked along there ... though it is a dangerous place because of the Gin Distillery and its lovely food! An easy place to empty your wallet ...
