What you can expect

Join us on a scenic and immersive RIB safari into Fyksesund, the only fjord branch of the Hardangerfjord without road access all the way in.

Departing from Øystese, we first travel out into the open Hardangerfjord before turning into Fyksesund — a narrow and dramatic fjord arm framed by steep mountainsides and cascading waterfalls. As we move deeper into the fjord, the landscape becomes increasingly quiet and untouched, offering a rare sense of calm far from busy routes and crowds.

Along the way, your local skipper slows down for photo stops and short stories about the landscape, fjord life, and the people who once lived here. Fyksesund is especially impressive during snowmelt and after rainfall, when countless waterfalls pour straight down the mountainsides. We cruise close enough to several of them for you to feel the fresh spray from the falls.

Near the end of the fjord, we stop outside Botnen, a historic and completely roadless hamlet. Once home to a small fjord community, Botnen offers a unique glimpse into traditional life in the inner fjords and adds a strong cultural dimension to the experience.

Our RIB boats are designed to provide the ultimate adventure, with twin high-performance outboard engines that allow for speeds up to 50 knots, ensuring an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. Our safety-driven approach and well-trained guides ensure you enjoy your trip in total safety and comfort.
