  What an exhilarating experience! Our guide was very thorough with preparations and the briefing, before the start of a great tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and took us to some beautiful spots in the boat. Out in the North Sea was bumpy, as to be expected, but we always felt safe. We were in the boat for just over an hour and saw lots of wildlife, including an eagle! We were met by the cruise ship which was just a short walk to the boat house. We’d looked at booking a similar experience directly with the cruise but this was far better value for money. We’d definitely recommend.

• Fabulous Haugesund

  Excellent rib ride, beautiful way of seeing Haugesund and the islands and all if the wildlife. Great friendly guide always thought of your safety, glad that my husband and I booked through local tours not P&O and we would definitely do this again

  Fantastic couples of hours on this Rib Ride! We were led to the dockside to get into our waterproof all-in-ones which not only kept you dry but nice and toasty too- not that it was cold on the day as it was unseasonably warm.Our pilot was great taking us for an impromptu stop to see ‘The Rising Tides’ sculpture which was totally unexpected, then onto a small island and village community, where he gave us a little insight into their daily lives - then passing the salmon farms on the return journey. Would totally recommend Viking Adventures for anyone thinking of booking this.

• Excellent - Speed, hidden beautiful local sights and lots of interesting information.

  This was an absolute highlight of our visit to Haugesund and would recommend to any ageing thrill junkies out there (our group of 4 were in our mid 60's by the way). We had booked this activity independently at short notice whilst already travelling on a Norway cruise. It was easy to book. The company kept us fully informed and were right by the quay in a little hut ready as we docked to sign us in for our 10am tour. I think all 10 of us on our safari tour were passengers on the cruise ship and all had booked independently. We had to walk for a few mins to get suited up (wet weather gear, goggles and lifejackets) and after a safety briefing went out on the water for around an hour overall. Our guide (known locally as "Grandpa") was brilliant. Yes we did some fast runs across the harbour, but we also slowed down and stopped several times to admire beautiful sights which we would never have seen from the cruise ship. Grandpa also told us many facts about the local community, its schools and ownership of some of the houses in the island area we toured. He was a great guide, entertaining and informative at the same time. We had worried about the weather when we booked, but it turned out to be a fantastic day. We were fine with that - but Grandpa said that for him he felt it was too calm...!! A true speed merchant!! There is quite a bit of bouncing about especially as the speed gets high - even on a calm day - but it was certainly super fun and all of us would recommend this trip wholeheartedly.
