What To Expect

1

Røvær is an island group in Haugesund Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The islands lie off the mainland shore about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northwest of the town of Haugesund. The 1.4-square-kilometre (0.54 sq mi) Røvær islands have about one hundred permanent residents (2014), as well as seasonal residents and visitors who rent vacation homes, stay at Røvær Seahouse (Røvær Sjøhus) or the newer Røvær Culture Hotel (Røvær Kulturhotell). The permanent residents who are not retired support themselves principally through farming, fishing, employment at the express boat service, teaching at the island's local school, working at the salmon fish farm, or by commuting to work on the mainland. During World War II, the island was occupied by German military forces, and there is still a concrete pillbox on Varden, the island's highest point.

Feøy is a small island group in Karmøy municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 1.3-square-kilometre (0.50 sq mi) island group lies west of the town of Haugesund and the island of Karmøy, southeast of the islands of Røvær, and northeast of the island of Utsira. The island has 49 permanent residents, plus a number of seasonal residents and visitors who rent vacation homes. The permanent residents who are not retired support themselves either through sheep farming, fishing, or by commuting to jobs on the mainland. There is an old wharf on Feøy that was converted into the Feøy Brygge, a small meeting house and restaurant that caters meetings and parties. During World War II, the Germans occupied the small island with troops because the area was an organizing site for resistance workers moving between Norway and Britain.

    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!

  • extremely short notice cancellation! Therefore, no alternative possible.

    We had booked a Rib Safari as a gift for ourselves and our children and touted this as a highlight of the holiday. The night before the planned tour, it was cancelled via mail. So we were left without anything. Since the tour was supposed to take place on a Sunday, there was no alternative program at such short notice, ... or Haugesund could not offer anything for children/teenagers that day. I can only warn against this provider if you want to save yourself a disappointment. With us there were tears and a day of bad mood, which we would have liked to spare.

  • Great time
