Amazing fjord experience! - We were fortunate to go on this tour on a sunny day. The views of the fjord were amazing at every turn! The gear you are given to wear is perfect for keeping wind out. The boat was comfortable and fun to experience high speeds at times. Our guide, Thor, was informative and interesting to talk to. A definite highlight of our trip!

Waterfalls galore! - This was an absolute blast! The weather was inclement but the tour operator outfitted us head to toe. We were warm and comfortable. The boat took us along the fjord and got us up close and personal with many waterfalls. Our guide said “More rain, more waterfalls,” and boy did we see our share! This is a fantastic tour I would highly recommend for adventurers of any age.

GE WEL DIG, unforgettable, super recommended - Beautiful trip! We got suits on and glasses on, so we kept a good view when we started to speed up. The kids of 11 and 16 and ourselves thought it was an unforgettable experience. Expensive but worth every penny. They'll remember this later. We have seen beautiful waterfalls where you cannot go with a car, there is no road on that side of the fjord. The way we sailed past the waterfall, we're never going to experience that again. The boat sometimes went spectacularly fast but also often just very relaxed. It was never scary or dangerous or jerky, hubby has a neck hernia and was fine. Daughter of 11 was thrilled for a moment but ended up swaying along on the waves with her arms in the air. Well organized, we got a good explanation / explanation at every stop and at a waterfall we were also allowed to drink water from the waterfall: super school, sweet and clear. Unforgettable experience! Very thick recommendation

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!
