Really enjoyed this boat ride and tour. Well organized and on time. We had perfect sunny weather to be on the water and able to see homes and get a little history of islands surrounding Kristiansand.

We had a fantastic time on the RIB sightseeing tour in Kristiansand. Great fun for the whole family, amazing scenery around the coastline and islands, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe throughout. The speedboat itself was brilliant fun and exciting without feeling unsafe. One of the highlights of our stop in Norway and highly recommended if you want to see Kristiansand from the water! Absolutely Fantastic to say the least!!

Definitely participate if you are in Kristiansand. Previous pleasant correspondence with requested directions. Very professional and friendly staff with high-quality, weather-appropriate equipment. Everything went according to plan! Since the weather cleared up on a later tour, we were even able to switch to the later boat. Very good English from the guide with explanations about the location. Pure nature, unique! Constant changes between fast rides and slow spots with explanations, so that photos can also be taken. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience. Magic Moments!!!

Great trip. Awesome funny guide. Filmed with extra care. You have to cushion yourself with your thighs on the waves. Otherwise, your spine will hurt.

Thrilling, fast and informative. Equipment was first rate and assistance available to put on the wet weather and safety gear. Clear instructions and a heat driver.

What a fantastic experience to explore Kristiansand and its surroundings by ribboat. The guide sailed past several islands, lighthouses and explained the area. Just past the fish auction and near the cruise terminal is the ribboat, very easy to find. We got glasses and life jacket and if desired also a life suite. Highly recommended to explore the area in this way!
