This third biggest
cruise ship port in Norway, Geiranger receives 140 to 180 ships during the four-month tourist season. In 2012 some 300,000 cruise passengers visited Geiranger during the summer season. The Geiranger Port has a cruise terminal, a Seawalk, and 3–4 anchor positions depending on the size of the ships. Constructed in 2013, the Seawalk is a three-segment articulated floating pier. It is long and wide on 10
pontoons, which moves (like a floatable jetwalk) to accommodate up to 4,000 passengers per hour disembarking from a single ship. Several hundred thousand people pass through the village every summer, and
tourism is the main business for the 250 people who live there permanently. There are four hotels and over ten camping sites. The tourist season stretches from May to early September. Tours of the nearby historic farms of
Knivsflå and
Skageflå are available from Geiranger. The
Seven Sisters waterfall is located just west of Geiranger, directly across another waterfall called "The Suitor." Each year in June, the
Geiranger – From Fjord to Summit event occurs. It comprises a
half marathon run and a bicycle race, both starting from the sea level at the fjord and ending at the summit of Mount
Dalsnibba, near the lake
Djupvatnet. Since there is still a lot of snow left in the mountains at that time of year, the race is also called "From Summer to Winter". Nearest airport is
Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden around 1 hour and 50 min away. In 2025 a new floating quay was built that included enough power to allow ships of up to 400 passengers to plug in and turn off their engines with a view to preserving air quality ==Media gallery==
