Awesome experience! - Yesterday (19-07-2024) I had a awesome experience with the RIB tour in the Hardangerfjord. I recommend this tour for the full 100%. Friendly tour guide, very knowledgeable and if you don't speak Norse, no problem! More then enough time for questions. I would like to come back soon, if my schedule allows it.

an experience with memories :) - We booked the tour as a family and were then also the only ones on the boat, so we had our own private tour. The speedboat tour was mega and went all the way under the waterfalls, where we were allowed to taste the water. The explanations were in an understandable English and questions could also be answered. Highly recommended!!

Awesome tour! - The tour was really fun! We drove into an isolated fjord with a remote village that's only rechable by boat, it was a special atmosphere there. We also nearly hit the top speed of 90 km/h in the open area of the fjord! Our guide was really nice. He knew a lot about the area and told us many stories about the history of the people near the Hardangerjford. All in all a great trip we highly recommend!

Absolutely recommendable way to discover the Hardangerfjord - There were two of us and we were the only passengers. The boat tour was great and a fantastic experience despite the light rain. The organization was top notch.

Highly recommend this excellent trip - My daughter and I took a trip from Northneimsund in late August. What a fantastic way to see Hardangerfjord. The rib itself is a great way to travel – fast and exciting, but also able to take it steady and get up close to waterfalls etc. The scenery is stunning, the waterfalls we visited were beautiful and it was fascinating to get to visit the remote village of Botnen, and hear about its history. Our captain was friendly and informative and the sun came out too! Highly recommend this trip as a brilliant way of seeing a beautiful part of Norway.
