Excursion Fjord discovery by rib-boat tour at Nordfjordeid

Experience the breath-taking panoramic beauty of the Norwegian fjords during this scenic and exhilarating sightseeing excursion via RIB-boat.

Nordfjordeid, RIB-Boat Adventure, Coastal Beaches, Coves, Lagoons

Depart the pier with your captain for the short walk to the RIB Station, and your awaiting RIB-boat. Upon arrival, meet your captain/guide, receive your safety and tour instructions, and don your flotation suit, life vest, and goggles. Afterward, embark the RIB-boat and begin your scenic and exhilarating RIB-boat adventure. The low-profile RIB-boats enable you to get closer to the hidden beaches, intimate coves, and idyllic lagoons of the fjords inaccessible via larger, heavier craft, and their small size enables maximum manoeuvrability to cover greater distances at speeds up to 57 m.p.h. (about 50 knots).

Salmon Farming, Majestic Fjords, Cascading Waterfalls, Farms, Water Tasting, Apple Orchards

Your first stop explores the mesmerising world of salmon-farming. From the comfort of your boat, observe first-hand the intricate process of salmon cultivation surrounded by the breath-taking backdrop of the fjord.

Your RIB-boat adventure continues with breath-taking photo stops along the majestic fjords and a sample of pure, refreshing water from cascading waterfalls, a true taste of nature's bounty. Afterward, glide across the fjord to explore traditional farms nestled along the tranquil shores. Experience the timeless charm of these rural homesteads, which offer a glimpse into the agricultural heritage of the region. Marvel at orchards bursting with ripe apples, a testament to the fertile soil and abundant daylight that bless this land.

Apple Juice & Cheese Tasting, Eidsfjord

Next, savour the flavours of the fjords with a delicious tasting of freshly-pressed apple juice and local brown cheese made from goat’s milk, prepared with care by local farmers according to their time-honoured traditions. As your exploration draws to a close, your captain picks up the pace once more, powering across the Eidsfjord with the exhilarating speed of your 600 hp RIB-boat. Feel the wind in your hair and the thrill of adventure whilst speeding back to Nordfjordeid, leaving you with memories of an unforgettable journey through Norway's majestic fjord-land. Your RIB-boat excursion concludes back at the RIB-boat Station. Upon arrival, disembark your RIB-boat and commence the short walk back to the ship.
