Additional information

Since its inception, the company has been engaged in fast-paced nature-based tourism, and over the years has positioned itself as a significant player in events and activities.

One of our specialties is RIB trips to the beautiful Lysefjord with highlights such as Fantahåla, Preikestolen and Hengjanefosssen. Visitors and city residents can easily book places on our daily departures, while groups and companies can book their own arrangements by appointment.

For our corporate clients, we offer complete events with catering and accommodation, or just a quick trip on the fjord to sharpen the senses. We have nine RIB boats with a total capacity of 108 people. The boats are equipped with 350-700 HP and maintain a cruising speed of 30-35 knots. Our trips are soft and comfortable, not wild and scary, suitable for most people between 5 and 95 years old. We always put safety first.

People with back/neck problems, osteoporosis or other joint/skeletal injuries and pregnant women are advised to sit at the back of the boat, where it is quieter and less prone to bumps and jolts.

You should not take part in a RIB trip if you are seriously injured or heavily pregnant.
