Very informative. Wonderful Captain and so much fun. Our Captain who grew up there, told us many good local stories and showed us all the highlights of the Fijord!! Amazing trip and well worth the money.

    Beautiful fjord - not the most comfortable boat

    DiemTran_K, Jul 2025
    Seeing the Geiranger fjord up close was nice. The highlights are the Seven Sisters and the Suitor across from each other. The boat is small, for 10 or 12 people. You sit astride the seat. It can be uncomfortable after a while. Movements are limited. You get the best view sitting in front. Otherwise the view may be blocked by others and you can't move around. I still enjoyed it but perhaps I'd rather be in a boat where you sit normally and movements are not as restricted.

    Great tour

    The rib boat tour was amazing and our guide. William had great information and brought us up really close to the waterfalls. Highly recommend this tour!

    Wonderful way to see the 7 sisters

    Denise_T, Jul 2025
    Directions to the excursion from the boat was horrible but the tour more then made up for it. The staff was funny and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to everyone

    Amazing time. Even if you don’t like fast rides.

    Elaine_S, Jun 2025
    Had such an amazing time. The guide was fantastic. As somebody who hates fairground rides etc, I was a little nervous about how fast we were going to be going. It was absolutely great. On the very slightly negative side we were really packed in tightly on the boat. Not like the picture but I still had a really lovely time. Thank you to the amazing driver and guide. Please don’t retire completely!!

    Must do when in Geinranger!

    Frank_H, Jun 2025
    Very friendly staff, professional and the hour excursion went so fast! I would high recommend this tour.

    It’s a must tour !

    Beautiful fjord

    Steve_C, Aug 2024
    Our guide was amazing, knowledgeable and fun. The fjord is breathtaking and the waterfalls are beautiful. The weather was perfect and we had a great time.

    Excellent

    Simple to find off our ship. The skipper was very informative and the 7 sister’s amazing. We had a great time

    Great tour

    Samantha_L, Aug 2024
    Brilliant tour, captain etc despite the weather. Really enjoyed our tour. Recommend as whilst it was fun and we saw lots it wasn’t so fast that you missed anything!

    Excellent rib experience in gerainger

    Scott_F, Aug 2024
    The guy who was the pilot of the boat was very informative friendly, helpful and professional. I would recommend this provider to anyone thinking of book a rib ride in gerainger as part of a private shore excursion when on a cruise

    It was ok, but fun

    Paulina_G, Jul 2024
    We enjoyed it, it was really fun to wear the suits they provide you to keep you warm and dry. We thought they were gonna tell us more about the history regarding the waterfalls, but they didn't. The person driving the boat told us at the most 2-3 sentences during all the ride.

    Riding in the Rib

    CharlesE_K, Jul 2024
    It was good to see the falls and fjord from the water advantage point ... the rib boat got you up close to all the falls ... the rainy weather did put a damper on the visibility but you need to expect that possibility in Norway ... It takes some time to get your wet suit and life preserver on before the tour ... Was not expecting the seating on the boat - it was a straddle seat like riding a horse - a little tough getting on and off for seniors ... our young tour guide was awesome ... He shared a lot of information about the fjord, farms, and life in the fjord ... well worth the experience ... very popular activity

    Up close view of amazing waterfalls

    Eric_S, Jul 2024
    We jumped on the rib boat and headed off to see some amazing waterfalls within the beautiful Norwegian Fjords. We first stopped to view the eagles that were in the trees. Then headed off to see the famous 7 sisters and the Geirangerfjorden Waterfalls. It was amazing as the spray from the waterfall blew into the boat as we were that close. Had great stories from our tour guide and she also pointed out the rocks that look like a troll.

    Loved this awe inspiring tour!

    Susan_J, Jul 2024
    Absolutely worth taking this RIB tour! Amazing perspective of waterfalls in the fiord. We saw falls from cruise ship but sooooo glad i also booked this tour!!! Highly recommend. All praise and glory be to Almighty God our Father and creator.

    Up Close With the Falls

    Lorrie_M, Jun 2024
    This was so great. The four of us went and were able to sit together and had great views and terrific conversation with the boat operator who gave lots of information about the fjord and the two main falls and the farm in the fjord. Amazing up close views and the guide was patient and did not rush us.

    Fantastic

    Beverley_C, May 2024
    Everyone joining in singing happy birthday at the Seven Sisters waterfall - a birthday that won’t be forgotten - Thankyou William

    Great experience!

    JANET_W, May 2024
    Great tour and knowledgeable guide. Very safe. Don’t go if you are expecting fast jet boat ride but if you any to see beautiful waterfalls and hear about the area history, this tour will be great!

    Choose another RIB

    Daniel_P, May 2024
    Usually the (almost) only one road to get to Geiranger is closed and they don't inform you about that. The only number that they have for client service is not working and they don't have any office there, is just a truck and no one is there if you have any problem. I wouldn't recommend this RIB, as there are plenty more of that in Geiranger.

    Falls from a boat.

    Beautiful valley, fun boat! Guide was nice and views were beautiful. They give you a suit and life jacket. Good value too!

    Highly Recommend

    Great Rib Boat experience with knowledgeable guide! Scenery was breathtaking This was highlight of our cruise

    Awesome fun time!

    The 7 sisters waterfalls. The guide explaining several interesting facts. Getting to the tour station was easy. The guides were friendly and professional.

    It was a waste of time...

    Aron_T, Aug 2023
    It was a waste of time the guide spent the whole time telling us folklore stories about families that lived there over 100 years ago and moved away we did absolutely no high-speed boating other than about 5 minutes until I thought maybe all the other companies did the same thing so I went over to another company and they said they do high speed boating for the full length of the Fjord which is 16 km we probably did around 2 km or 3 km all we did was go to the Seven Sisters and bounce back and forth from one side of the Fjord to the other that's very low speed telling us folklore stories completely not recommended very disappointing

    Lot of time was in front...

    Theresa_T, Jul 2023
    Lot of time was in front of 3 waterfalls. Not a lot of speed sections. Didn’t see a lot from the Fjord.

    It was a great experience, I would recommend to do this too.

    Torsten_L, Jun 2023
    It was a great experience. The Guide was really good and could tell a lot of facts around Geiranger Fjord and about the living of the people in this region in the past. He answered all questions and telling us a lot of interesting storys. It was a pleasure and I would recommend to do this. Thanks a lot. Regards Torsten

    Great day on the Fjord

    Cynthia_M, Jun 2023
    Small boat and up-close experience in the fjord with an enthusiastic local guide/driver/owner. I loved her storied about living in Geiranger and on the Fjord. A great experience. Note that not all of their fleet is not electric, so that is not guaranteed. But their gas boats are high efficiency and fine.

    Beautiful experience

    shikhasood07, May 2023
    We took the 3.30pm slot and the fjord had no other boat. It was almost like the entire fyord was privately booked and we could admire the surrounding beauty at peace. Thank you to the organisers for the interesting stories. It was lovely to hear about the fjord and farms from a local.

    Electric power meant we could hear all the guide was saying. Wonderful stories and views. Easy access from the cruise terminal. Thank you for an excellent experience.

    In the heart of the fjord

    Christine_P, Jul 2025
    It is a very interesting activity, in the heart of the fjord. The explanations are given in English, the boat can go fast at certain moments, emotions guaranteed!

    Improveable

    Fernando_S, Jul 2025
    It was very slow and we did not see all points of the route that other boats arrived. In a speedboat you have more possibilities than other boats to see closer and closer.
