Well organised - Very efficient service from checkin to getting the equipment/ dress. The excursion took us through some beautiful islands with some commentary. I would have liked a little more speed and thrill to the journey.

100% recommend - DO NOT sleep on this rib adventure - you will regret it! - What an awesome trip! Unfortunately, there was heavy-ish fog on the day we did our trip, so for safety, we were unable to visit all of the islands - BUT - and this is a huge point - even though we couldn't do the whole tour - our pilot made sure all the time we spent on board was fun, exhilarating, and interesting. This was a fantastic trip, excellently managed and in the face of weather issues totally outside of their control - Viking Adventure absolutely ensured we got our money's worth! 100% recommend this company and this trip in particular. Can't wait to come back to Haugesund to try something else with them!

Great experience - Great excursion. Only let down was we were sat at reception for 30 minutes as we were told to wait there, only after prompting as the tour started at 10:30 we were told that we were at the wrong place, we kept the whole group waiting which was really embarrassing especially arriving mega early

Fabulous rib ride - An exhilarating rib ride around Haugesand and out to the remote islands. We jumped off the Iona and headed straight to the Viking adventure store which was a short 5 minute walk from the ship. We were lucky enough to join the next tour at 10:30. Our tour guide was excellent and funny- took us to a couple of the remote islands as well as speeding across the open sea. We felt safe and throughly enjoyed the trip. What I would say is that I expected it to be a little longer. We were getting our suits on and then on another tour within an hour and 45 minutes.

Rib safari Tour in Haugesund - My husband and I did the Rib Safari Tour in Haugesund while in Norway. Our guide was informative during the first part when we went to see some small villages. However, when we headed back, we went along the bank of the town of Haugesund and it would have been nice to give us some information of the buildings we passed by. Also, I was disappointed that the tour including instructions and suiting up only lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes instead of 2 that was stated on the tour when we booked it. Also, when we removed our suits, they just put everything back without sanitizing anything and handed out our used goggles to the next group. Not a good idea in my opinion. It was fun but not sure I would recommend it to others.

Rib ride - If you are compromised you may find this a bit tough...I am short and you need to straddle the 'saddle' .....I was behind a very big guy and it was hard to see. The operators however were great and very safety conscious! Saw a lot of very i teresting little islands!
