What To Expect
Røvær Island – A Hidden Gem off Haugesund Just 10 km northwest of Haugesund lies Røvær, a small island community with around 100 residents. This scenic archipelago offers a peaceful glimpse of coastal life, with charming boathouses, a cultural hotel, and friendly locals. Visitors can explore walking trails, learn about Viking and wartime history, and enjoy panoramic sea views from Varden, the island’s highest point, where a WWII pillbox still stands. Please note that weather conditions may occasionally require an alternative route for safety and comfort.
Feøy – A Peaceful Island Escape near Haugesund Just west of Haugesund lies Feøy, a tranquil island group known for its unspoiled nature and strong coastal traditions. With around 50 year-round residents, Feøy offers a glimpse of authentic island life as you pass by on your RIB adventure. From the sea, you’ll spot traditional boathouses, the charming Feøy Brygge – once an old wharf, now a meeting place and restaurant – and open landscapes where sheep graze near the shore. During World War II, German forces occupied the island due to its key role in the Norwegian resistance network. Today, Feøy remains a peaceful community surrounded by sea, history, and natural beauty.

5.00Great 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 but rough time

4.00Was 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.
Fun RIB Ride, great to see small islands.

4.00It 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.
Fun morning ride!

5.00The 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

5.00The 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.
Cancelled and booth shut

1.00Emailed 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.

5.00Although 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!
