Absolutely fantastic ride. Amazing scenery and really exciting riding over the waves. Our captain and guide Axl was really informative and put us at ease. We loved his playlist too which added to the whole experience. Would definitely recommend this company.

Exciting way to see the fjord! The RIB is fun to ride and can get you closer to the various sites than larger, more conventional watercraft. Also, the RIB can position you again and again to see any wildlife you might encounter. Do not decline to wear the suit they offer, it will get cool and wet during your ride.
Yvonne_T, Jun 2026
Loved every minute of it, we were nice & cosy out on the water in the suits provided.
Eric our guide was very entertaining & filled us in on local history, he even provided sun screen incase anyone got burned.

5 minutes from our cruise ship ,lovely people from start to finish, and Simon our guide was great knowledge đ
Nicholas_M, Jun 2026
Excellent trip if you want to see a fjord in a couple of hours from Stavanger. 25 mins each way it is high speed and bumpy even on a fair and sunny June day. But we'll worth it. Guide Marius knowledgeable, relaxed and a lovely guy.

We had a wonderful time Ola was a great captain and tour guide . It was an exhilarating ride but we felt safe at all times and got to see some wonderful things up close . Ola was helpful and informative
One of the stand out trips of our holiday
Danielle_K, Jun 2026
We locked in some core memories on this trip. We had such a great time and Ola really enhanced the experience. We had music blasting, going through the fjords, and tons of laughter. We couldnât be more happy about this experience. We saw the fjord from a different view and even got some historical context of areas we visited. We even got to taste a waterfall. Thank you again for such a great adventure.

Beautiful views, and some good stories. Was a little confusing getting to the correct location, did not meet at the red hut. Two or three different tour companies.
Heather_S, Jun 2026
For sure we would recommend this tour, stunning views, fun trip, amazing tour guide Aksel, and overall fantastic experience!
ROBIN_T, Jun 2026
The ride was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Not as rough as others have suggested. Driver was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Would recommend.
Megan_W, Jun 2026
This was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday! 2nd time with this company now, incredible staff, service & easy to book!
AMAZING!!!!! what a way to see the beauty of the fjords! Jan our guide was absolutely brilliant! So knowledgable and friendly! Will 100% recommend this to everyone we know! We will be back!

Wear gloves and sunglasses. Show up early so you have time to put on equipment. Have a good time and sing along with the music.
mark_O, Jun 2026
One of the best tours weâve been on anywhere. All cold and wet weather clothes provided. You sit on the RIBI on individual seats that you ride like a motorcycle. Very comfortable. But the best part is what you see. Spectacular scenery at truly up close perspective. Actually drives boat under the waterfall.
TALY_G, Jun 2026
We had an incredibly fun time and our captain, Eric was fun and entertaining. Highly recommend! Everything that was promised, and a lot of fun. We went on a clear day and didnât get wet at all in back but hubby in the front seat did!
Philip_H, Jun 2026
Itâs a lot of fun so just book it ! You wonât regret it you may get a little wet but the kit they provide is very warm and itâs so worth it.

Glad you loved it, thanks for sharing!

Exhilarating and great way to experience the Fjord. Our guide and pilot was Eirick who provided interesting insights and information at our stops along the Fjord which included the Vagabondâs Cave, mountain goats, Whisky Waterfall and Pulpit Rock. We thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of the RIB ride, bouncing and swerving through the waves accompanied by a banging music track along with the quiet stillness when we stopped for the information and to take photos.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much. Glad to hear you had a great experience!
Danielle_W, Jun 2026
Fantastic high speed boat adventure, stopping at view points, even getting a shower under the waterfall. Brilliant adventure and guide. Would absolutely recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for sharing, Danielle!

Thrilling boat ride to some special places. Full gear provided to make sure you're protected from any change in the weather. Well worth the money

Our captain/ Kai was brilliant/ knowledgeable and professional
Great fun âŠ. Would definitely recommend
Jill_H, May 2026
Very friendly guide, felt very safe and excellent warm clothing provided. The background music added to the atmosphere.
Jennifer_G, May 2026
This is a must do experience, easy to locate on the harbour, full suits, glasses and gloves are provided so we all stayed warm. Simen our guide was exceptional, we spotted porpoises so stopped and simen told us all about them and what other wildlife to look out for. The cave and waterfall were beautiful but Simen made the trip for us but all staff were helpful (safety checking our equipment etc)
Alison_P, May 2026
Absolutely loved this experience. Alex led the tour and was brilliant. He gave clear and interesting information about the local area and, even though we went quite fast, I always felt safe... it was brilliant fun rather than scary. Well worth the price.

Absolutely fab experience! Our skipper Gian was lovely and good craic! Stunning scenery and memories to last a lifetime!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Happy to hear you loved it! Thanks so much for sharing.
Mary_P, May 2026
Gian was wonderful! He described highlights and answered all of our questions. It was great that they had weather suits and goggles. I would highly recommend this tour for people who are mobile and physically able to climb in and out of the seats.
Esther_A, May 2026
We were will protected with the provided overalls and goggles. The weather was not on our side and we were not lucky enough to see much wildlife, but our RIB captain was great. It was an excellent option to book privately from our cruise.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much, Esther! Glad to hear you had a good time, regardless of the weather.
Elaine, May 2026
Fabulous trip! Very well organised and only a stoneâs throw from the cruise terminal, which made everything so easy. We had a fantastic day out on the RIB. It was such a fun and exciting way to see the fjords around Stavanger. The scenery was absolutely stunning and the whole experience felt really memorable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting on a cruise or looking for something a bit different!

Had a brilliant time. Skipper Erik was great - cheesy jokes and very informative. The ride on the rib was exhilarating - highly recommend đ
Response from Host, May 2026
Happy to hear, that you had a great time on Eirik's tour!
Mark_S, May 2026
Really nice waterproofs are provided - take the mask and gloves as I can get cold. Great guide / driver - loved it
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you! We totally agree - it can get cold outside in the fjord, so it's important to dress accordingly underneath the provided equipment
