Nordfjordeid docks place ships directly at the village quay. There is no useful public bus to Briksdal — the practical DIY is to book Visit Nordfjordeid's local-operator coach (NOK 1195 / €105), which leaves from the east side of the quay building 50 m from the cruisegate and runs a 1.5h scenic drive each way along Hornindal Lake with 2.5h at Briksdal. At the visitor centre, the optional electric Troll Cars run ~3 km up the valley to the glacier viewpoint for ~NOK 230 / €20 return; walking the same 3 km path each way takes 60–75 minutes round trip on an easy paved route. Cake-and-coffee buffet at Briksdal Mountain Lodge is included in the Visit Nordfjordeid ticket.
