Hardangerfjord RIB Safari: High-Speed Fjord Exploration

Tear through the glassy waters of the Hardangerfjord on a powerful RIB boat, skimming past sheer cliff faces, hidden waterfalls, and orchid-covered shores. A two-hour thrill that reveals the fjord from sea level in spectacular style.

What to expect

Kitted out in a full expedition survival suit, you board a powerful rigid inflatable and accelerate into the heart of the Hardangerfjord. Your skipper navigates to viewpoints impossible to reach on foot — sea-level perspectives of the towering canyon walls, the mist of cascading waterfalls, and the mirrored reflections of snow-capped peaks. Wildlife sightings of sea eagles and porpoise are common. The pace alternates between exhilarating full-throttle runs and slow, contemplative drifts past landmarks of historical significance.
