A very fast thrilling, but safe rib ride, to see the fjords close up from our P&O cruise ship. - A very fast thrilling but safe rib ride to see further into the fjords near Stavanger from our P&O cruise ship. The meeting point was only about 150 metres flat walk from our ship but there are several different companies operating excursions and it took us a few conversations to find ours. Once we established contact the young lady at the tent was very helpful and invited us - my daughter and 9 year old grandson - to don full waterproof overalls and a life jacket. We were all allocated a boat number and our Captain - Captain Graham - then introduced himself. He gave us a full safety briefing before helping us to board the rib and take our seats, rather like sitting on a motorbike with handles at the front. Graham was very friendly and very particular about safety which was really reassuring. After steadily pulling away from the jetty and getting into the main fjord area Graham cut the engine and walked along the rib to give us information about the local area which was very interesting. He then returned to the controls and started our very fast thrilling ride to see more of the spectacular fjord including the Pulpit Rock and amazing waterfalls. We went very close to the side of the fjord walls, under one waterfall and at various points he stopped the engine to give us more local details eg Vagabond Cave. It was a very thrilling and interesting ride which we all thoroughly enjoyed - my grandson identified this as one of the main highlights of the cruise. We are very grateful to Captain Graham for such a wonderful experience and would recommend it to all family and friends when visiting Stavanger.

Roolf is the man - Did this tour on Aug 18 with Roolf. My wife and I felt very safe and comfortable on the RIB. There were 9 people on the tour. The seating was saddle style with grab bars to hold onto and a small zipper pocket on the seat in front suitable for a wallet and phone. There was a compartment up front for larger items. It was a fairly calm day and everyone stayed dry. Roolf stopped the boat several times to discuss what we were seeing. He was very friendly and professional. Before the tour we all donned heavy duty waterproof overalls. Highly recommended!

Great fun! - Great value for the money. Pulpit rock was impressive. Beautiful trip with a wonderful guide who shared local stories. He stopped the boat to show us an eagle, seals and goats and gave us a drink of pure mountain water dripping from the side is the mountain. There was some confusion about pickup place but it was quickly sorted out.

Recommended! - Great! Just being in the boat is fun, with that speed and spectacular turns, but you also see such beautiful places. Nice explanation, enough time to take pictures and just watch and enjoy, so highly recommended! The suits are super fine and keep you warm and dry.

Very fun excursion. Our... - Very fun excursion. Our boat captain was amazing, just a fun time all around. There was no details on “pick up from cruise port” which created some stress. We were docking in Sandnes, which they do not pick up from. Did not know there was multiple ports, so we were expecting a pick up. Did create additional expense of $100 usd for a taxi ride from Sandnes to Stavanger.

Fun Experience - The RIB boat experience was amazing! Only issues were that we tried calling the company and there was no answer and no call back. The gear was old and dirty. But the boat captain was very nice and the boat ride was fun.
