Experience the hidden jewel of the Hardangerfjord with our exhilarating RIB safari through the breathtaking Fyksesund fjord branch. Nestled amidst towering mountainsides and adorned with cascading waterfalls.
Starting from Norheimsund, our RIB sets sail south through the strait and east along the main Hardangerfjord, leading you to the entrance of the Fyksesund fjord. As you venture into the last 5 km of this 10 km long fjord branch, you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time, surrounded by untouched beauty. Our journey culminates with a stop outside the old roadless hamlet of Botnen, adding a touch of historic charm to your adventure.
Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable local captain and guides will make several stops, allowing you to take in the beautiful landscapes. They will also share fascinating insights into the fjord's rich history and vibrant culture.

Full of adrenaline filled adventure, Thor, our guide drove at an expert, but still enjoyable speed (:
The facts that Thor shared were also spectacular! He also did some customer interaction: driving under a waterfall! Definitely an unmissable experience!!!! Thanks so much.

Our early March RIB boat safari on a beautiful sunny day was fun from the get-go. Our guide Thor got us suited up in warm onesies, neck gaiters and lifevests, then we mounted our comfortable saddle seats in the rigid inflatable boat and cruised across the wide part of the fjord and into wonderful small channels where the vertical mountains really come to life. The boat can really make tracks with double 300 hp engines and the saddle seats position your body to lean smoothly with each turn of the boat. Thor stopped at key locations to regale us with history and lore and the scenery was just spectacular.
