Just do it! What an experience - An exhilarating experience, we saw some small villages, salmon farm and lots of small islands. The sea was kind to us in our trip, We had a super fast ride back to the ship complete with doughnuts. Just hang on and enjoy the ride

Such good fun! - This trip was such good fun! We were lucky and had a beautiful blue sky day so didn’t get wet at all. Joe was an excellent guide. Would recommend bringing sunglasses or asking for goggles so you can see a bit better as it is FAST!

Rib boat Haugesund - Absolutely brilliant experience, very well organised and friendly service. Thrilling and informative adventure. Much better set up for rib boat excursion than I saw at other ports. So close and easy to get to from cruise port, 5 min walk. Do not hesitate to book.

Lovely staff - I was really enjoying the rib boat tour until we hit a big wave and the boat came down hard and I badly injured my back. No one's fault just a freak accident. Can't thank the staff enough who brought out another boat to take me back and then drove me back to the cruise ship.

So it's about an hour on... - So it's about an hour on board, not 2 as advertised. Unfortunately our boat also broke down and that spoiled what should have been a great experience. As a result, about 20 minutes of our hour was spent just bobbing on the ocean!
