A Fantastic Nature and Water Speed Experience - The adventure begins at the pier of the Brakanes Hotel. Before departure, you are provided with a wind and rainproof suit, as well as protective glasses.
The route takes us from Ulvikfjord to Eidfjord and further to the very end of Geirangerfjord, where the Lang-Sima Hydropower Plant is hidden inside the rocky mountain. We continued to the small touristic town of Eidfjord, then passed the lonely hamlets in Osafjord. During the drive, we stopped at rock formations, waterfalls, and WWII bunkers used for ammunition storage in rock walls.
Captain Orion gave excellent explanations about the special points along the way and the history of these places.
Adrenaline-pumping speed sections were not missing either, making the trip an unforgettable experience.

Speed on the Hardangerfjord - Very nice trip on the Hardangerfjord with RIB. The speed of the boat was awesome in itself, but with the surrounding nature, this was really an experience we enjoyed.
Everything worked smoothly with booking, changing and boat travel.
