Latefossen is about a 10 minute drive from downtown Odda. I would imagine there is a bus (not certain), but a taxi would certainly be an option. You could actually walk it, but the road is narrow and there is no shoulder or path much of the way, so I would advise against it. The other place you might want to visit from Odda is Buar Breen (Buar Glacier). It is probably 15-20 minute drive from the town, then a 2-3 hour round trip hike to the glacier. It is worth the trip.

You can travel by bus from Bergen to Odda, but I can’t say if the bus stops at Latefossen. Try to contact the local tourist information in Odda/ Hardanger, they might be helpful! Google visitodda or visitlatefoss as Tripadvisor won’t let me post websites links

We were in Norway for about 14 days. We started in Bergen and stayed there for 2 days. Then we drove to Sogne Fjord and Naeroyfjord (E39 and R13 are your friends as is E134 depending on what you want to visit). We also hiked and kayaked near Gudvangen (Naeroyfjord) We returned to Bergen for 1 night and then ventured to Hardanger Fjord (same main driving routes - GPS is excellent in the rental car or cell phone - the routes are very well marked and easy to drive). The main focus for us was hiking Trolltunga and in and around Odda. Beautiful waterfalls, mountains and hiking. We camped in the Odda Camp Ground and stayed at the Tyssedal hotel for one night. R13 is the most scenic route and the National Tourist Highway. From there we went to Lysefjord. We camped at a campground near and hiked Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). Again R13 is the key route. Take it to Forsand. From here we took a cruise along Lysefjord to Lysebotn to hike the famous Kjeragbolten. You can take your car on the ferry/cruise or you can park your car in Forsand. Depends on what you you are doing at any of the stops along Lysefjord and whether you need the car. There is additional charge for your vehicle on the cruise, We then stayed in Jorpeland for 2 nights. This included a day trip to Starvanger. R13 is the route. There are a couple of different car ferries to take to Starvanger - the main one from Tau. We had planned on taking E39 from Starvanger back to Bergen (note there are several ferries that you need to plan for - they have excellent ferry schedules). However, my daughter left something in the Tyssedal Hotel and we had to return the same way we came - back along R13 to E39 and back to Bergen. One thing to note...R13 is two lanes and tight - with some one-lane sections. So drive carefully and look for turn offs to allow on-coming traffic to pass by. Be courteous. The scenery is well worth the thin road. Also note that the speed limit is very low - like 60-70 Km per hour. So plan for that - time-wise. Also note that periodically they have cameras that record and snap if you are over the speed limit. My recommendation is that speeding is not worth the risk. Better to be safe and enjoy. One final note...there are a lot of tunnels - many without internal lighting - so turn your headlights on. I found that the plethora of tunnels were an amazing fete of engineering. Net: very, very easy to drive nd navigate - especially to the main venues.

Public transport is available, but there is no official stop there. Depending of how much time you need there the local public transport might give you 5 minutes if you ask. But it will be worth contacting the tourist office in Odda for more inside information: turistkontor@odda.kommune.no

Yes, there is a bus service linking Bergen with Oslo, via (beautiful) Telemark, and Låtefossen is on this bus route. You will be able to leave the bus on the very spot, with your cameras ready. Check the homepage of NOR-WAY bussekspress (available in English). You'll find it on for example Google (search for Haukeliekspressen). The bus you're on, will return roughly one hour later for Bergen. This means that you can enter the bus in Bergen at 11:50, and be back in Bergen at 20:05. And on the way to and from Låtefossen, you will be able to watch som beautiful landscapes and fjordscapes, and enjoy a ferry trip. Have a nice holiday!
