Sognefjord RIB Speedboat: Waterfalls, Cliffs & Wild Fjord

Blast through the innermost arm of the world's longest fjord aboard a powerful RIB, flanked by thousand-metre cliffs and thundering waterfalls. This is Sognefjord at its most raw, intimate and unforgettable.

What to expect

Suited up in a full weatherproof RIB suit, you roar out of Skjolden harbour and deep into Lusterfjord, a UNESCO-listed branch of the Sognefjord. The guide cuts the engine beneath Feigefossen and other cascading waterfalls so you can feel the spray and hear the silence. Sheer granite walls rise on both sides as you photograph mirror-still reflections on the glassy water. The return run at full throttle, with the village church steeple as your landmark, is pure adrenaline.

Good to know

Operator is located directly beside the cruise dock — no transfer needed. Suits and life jackets provided. Book directly via skjoldenport.com well ahead of port day; morning slots sell out first. All-aboard typically generous at Skjolden but confirm your ship's schedule and allow 30 min buffer.
