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 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.
Fab Experience!

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

1.00We 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.
