Great RIB trip at Hardangerfjord in Oystese - Great tour with guide explaining the most important things, on the Hardangerfjord and to the end of a narrow side fjord. Passing waterfalls, remote individual houses and villages surrounded by high mountains.
Even a few high speed minutes with tight curves are not missing - just for fun.
RIB for 10 people, weatherproof jumpsuit, life jacket, glasses and hood are provided, the latter may be remembered.
A super nice trip worth every minute. Start is 15 minutes before the start time of the trip at the reception of the Hardangerfjord Hotel in Oystese

Having the time of our lives in Fyskesund - This really was an exceptional experience - one of the best things I have done. On the one hand, the breathtaking and unique scenery, with close-up views of waterfalls plunging hundreds of feet into into the fjord. On the other hand the sheer exhilaration of travelling at speed on the RIB. Our guide was also very informative about the history and demographics of Fyskesund. My eight-year-old son loved every minute of it, as did I.

I would definitely go if I was there again. - It was a great experience! Beautiful fjord to behold from the water. Nice fast boat!
The captain was great and told all sorts of things at the stops.

Absolutely Brilliant Experience - Absolutely brilliant experience the guide/skipper ( I am sorry I forgot your name) was so informative and you could tell he loved his job. The Hardangerfjord is beautiful so peaceful
would definitely come back and do another RIB maybe the longer one.
Came by bus from bergen to Oystese which took about 1hr 45mins but the journey was beautiful, the time went so quick and a lovely way to see Norway and only £10 return. The first bus that arrived at Bergen bus station was full so they put another one on which arrived 10 mis later but made the time up to Oystese.

A brilliant fun activity for everyone. - Went out at 3.00pm today and had the most fabulous time. We had such a brilliant helmsman who could speak perfect English. He talked about things we were seeing, gave the history, gave us a thrill with fast, speedy and swirly moves over the water- just a great time. The waterproof gear, goggles and beanie are perfect. Kept us warm (it didn’t rain so couldn’t test that side of them!) Great changing facilities with plenty of room, toilets and a mirror.
Couldn’t fault this activity- thank you for such fun.
( great value too)

Great fun - A thrilling tour around some of the highlights of the fjord. The views along the quiet arm of the fjord were fantastic, as was going under waterfalls and driving at speed across the water. The guide/driver was pretty taciturn and gruff and told us off for being late even though we were earlier than the specified arrival time. With a more charming guide this would be a 5-star trip but was still a great experience.
