Exhilarating - Great fun! Tour if the nearby islands with a trip into open water.We had good conditions and weather. Guide was very informative. Small group but it didn't diminish the experience with fast wave jumping.

Fun morning ride! - The splash in the face as we left the harbor clued us in that this would be both relaxing and hold-on-tight exciting. Great way to start our visit to Haugesund!

Fun and unforgettable event - The meeting point directly at the pier was very easy, we then walked a few minutes to the departure point of the RIB boat. There we had to sign papers and got our equipment (full body suits, goggles and some kind of life jacket). Then it started. The boat went very fast, and partly on top of the waves, which provided extra fun. Not for the faint-hearted or people with back problems. We all thought it was really great. The only drawback: It didn't take long. It should actually take a total of 2 hours, the net time in the boat should be one hour. We were back after 40 minutes.

Fab Experience! - Although the weather was awful I still had a great time! Briefing and clothing requirements easily followed. The RIB was wet but safe. Clear instructions given onboard. It was a touch uncomfortable coming back in driving rain in your face but all part of the experience!

Fun but rough time - Was very cool but you need to know that it may be very rough and choppy out on the open sea. Nature of this kind of experience. Would have liked it longer and less on the choppy open waters and more going through the little waterways and inlets which was very cool. Overall, a fun experience.

Lots of fun and interesting - It was a little disorganized at first getting everyone outfitted waiting for equipment from other boats. Surprising that actual time out on the water was only 45 minutes. Skilled, competent captain.

Cancelled and booth shut - Emailed message afternoon before saying cancelled as only 2 of us booked on. Not received as on cruuse ship at sea. Then got text half hour before on day of trip as disembarked. Over 2000 people on ship and booth next to terminal. Could you have advertised as people disembarked? Only needed a ribfull. Went to your booth to try to book something else or different time am and pm. Shut up and noone there either time.
