I was trying to decide between this speedboat and a RIB boat tour. I definitely made the right decision! The boat is fantastic, and the captain was great. We saw several RIB boats. The passengers were so packed in, it looked like they were sitting on each other's laps. We had plenty of space.

We appreciate your kind review. We try to offer something more exclusive, and with better comfort than the packed RIB boats, so glad you liked it! Thanks!

It was very well organized and we had a fantastic time. The boat was very comfortable, much more than the typical rib boats. It was less crowded as it is limited to 8 people. Our captain was fantastic and very knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best execursions we have done in our many years of cruising

What an amazing experience!! We had originally booked the speed boat safari, but they had to cancel due tot he high winds. The tour operator was super helful and patient and since the rib boats can handle the waves better, we were accommodated by another company in the same boat house, on the Boat Adventure-rib boat with Erik. He gets nice and close to the rocks and even with the big waves we had it was really great. The theme music was also a really nice touch!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for the patience and flexibility. And off course for the kind review:-) The fjord can be amazing even in that kind of weather... Erik is an excellent captain, I will pass on your kind remarks!

We were able to walk a short distance from the ship to the meeting place. They gave us full body covers to keep warm and dry. Although it was a sunny day it was helpful for the wind. The narration and music choices at each stop were fantastic and our captain was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got close to goats, a waterfall, a cave and also a great view of pulpit rock. We even got a snack before returning to port.

Thank you for the kind review! It was a great day on the fjord with you:-)

We were very disappointed that Our tour was cancelled at 7 pm the night before due to weather. When we arrived in Port it was cloudy and all the rib boats were going out. It never rained until 12:30 and we had a 1030 tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
The weather forecast was bad. Rain was not the problem, but the concern was wind. We elected to cancel because it would probably not going to be a pleasant ride, espcially on the way back from Lysefjord, and we did it well in advance so that you had time to make other plans. Besides, due to a cancellation from another customer there were too few participants on this departure.

Amazing experience in the speedboat. The captain was very relaxed , friendly and informative. There was a guide and music at each point of interest . Very friendly, safe and fun experience- felt like James Bond. Much more comfortable than the rib ride. Recommended for families, groups or older folk.

Thank you for supporting our business and for the kind review:-)

We had a great trip out to Pulpit Rock and Vagabond Cave, with another couple. We were fitted out with a very warm suit and googles which we very much appreciated. It’s good to have gloves and a hat too. Great speedboat, we sat up front, a lot of fun.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you:-)

The tour was worth seeing as well as varied. There are explanations, photo stops at the highlights as well as a very sympathetic captain.
