Excellent Trip worth the money. - Excellent organisation, really easy to find check in when you left the ship. Well organised when issuing waterproof and safety equipment. Found out some great facts as we went around the islands alongside the fun parts of high speed rib on open water. Grandchildren really loved it, thank you.

Great Rib Safari Brilliant - Fabulous Rib trip around the islands. Booked direct instead of via Fred Olsen Cruise Tours and it was half the price And a 100x better.

Must have made!! Or you miss the most beautiful. - It was a brilliant experience. Super equipment, the boat and the suits were in top condition. The tour was fast-paced, eventful, never boring and riddled with lots of background information that can only come from a local. We have never had such an exciting and varied promotional experience!

Rib ride/ fun times - We recently visited Haugesund and visited these guys, to say they were welcoming is an understatement. They were professional,knowledgeable, entertaining and more importantly locals. I would recommend a trip on the rib ride any time but be prepared for some air time on the waves and a few heavy bumps on the way down. We had a great tour of the inlets/islands and even saw a sea eagle. Obviously got a little wet ,part of the fun but suits and goggles provided did there job. Holding on to tight for any wave riding pics

A fantastic experience! - What an exhilarating experience! Our guide was very thorough with preparations and the briefing, before the start of a great tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and took us to some beautiful spots in the boat. Out in the North Sea was bumpy, as to be expected, but we always felt safe. We were in the boat for just over an hour and saw lots of wildlife, including an eagle! We were met by the cruise ship which was just a short walk to the boat house. We’d looked at booking a similar experience directly with the cruise but this was far better value for money. We’d definitely recommend.

WHAT A THRILL - WHAT A THRILL! oh my gosh this was the best experience ever and we had such an amazing time with the team! I felt so so safe in the hands of the captain and I would do this tour a thousand times over if I could. I’d come back to Haugesund just for this!

Amazing trip-highly recommend - I honestly cannot recommend these guys enough! We went out today (27.10.24) and had the best time, in all honesty it was probably the highlight of the cruise for me! Everyone we dealt with was professional and extremely knowledgeable, even though the sea was fairly choppy (3m+ waves) I felt completely safe at all times. Grandad was brilliant 👏 if you are visiting with P&O book with these guys directly you won't regret it, brilliant value for money! They are directly opposite where the ship docks, we booked beforehand but communication was clear from the time of booking until the trip.

Personal. Local. Authentic. An unforgettable flight over the waves. - Personal. Local. Authentic. An unforgettable flight over the waves. As a family with two children (aged 7 & 9), we looked for a local provider and found what we were looking for. It was a great tour. We were able to experience a very authentic piece of Norway in a very short time. Super briefing also for the young guests. Many thanks to our great skipper. Moritz & Family
