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!

The fjord was stunning! The guide was knowledgeable and he gave us an exciting ride! He took us up close to waterfalls and we got sprayed with the mist.

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.

We loved the fast RIB boat and stunning views of the fjord. The journey is brilliant, fast speeds to get across the fjord but the RIB boat slows down plenty of times to see beautiful waterfalls and scenery. We were lucky because it was raining and we saw the Troll. The guiding was excellent. We would love to do this again. We will now enjoy the water we collected from the waterfall on the trip.

Even though the visibility wasn’t the best and it was raining, we still had a great time!! The views of the fjords from the boat and seeing the waterfalls up close were amazing. We would recommend warm, waterproof clothing for under the suit they give you if your tour falls on a particularly rainy day. Awesome experience!
