Small wooden tender landing pier in the village centre. All cruise tenders dock here as ships anchor in the middle of the Geirangerfjord. The Tourist Info and the Norwegian Fjord Centre are a short uphill walk from the pier.

From the tender quay it's a 5-min walk to the Joker shop where the public Highlight Bus to Dalsnibba departs (NOK 318 ≈ €27 return — includes the Nibbevegen toll and a Flydalsjuvet photo stop). The round trip runs 2h 15min from June 1 to August 31. Eagle Road is not on the public bus route — to add the Ørnesvingen viewpoint you'd need a local taxi (~€60–70 return, 10 min each way) which most DIY visitors skip.
