Norway · RIB SPEEDBOAT TRIPS
A rigid inflatable, a survival suit and a great deal of spray. These 15 safaris run out of Tromsø, Stavanger, Bergen and Lofoten, and the differences that matter are speed, sea state, how long you are exposed and whether wildlife is realistically on the menu.
A 2-hour RIB safari from Stavanger to Lysefjord, built for speed, waterfalls, and up-close wildlife, with warm gear included.

Speed through UNESCO Geirangerfjord on a small RIB. Get inches from Seven Sisters and Friaren waterfalls with a live English guide.

2-hour RIB sea eagle safari from Svolvær, with Trollfjord views, Viking stories, and warm gear for up-close eagles.
“We traveled all throughout Norway and this was our favorite adventure. We had assumed the boat would just take us to one site to see the sea eagles, but instead we stopped at three sea eagle nesting areas, one salmon fishery, two waterfalls, and a beautiful beach. It was amazing being up close to the birds but also the incredible mountains. We highly recommend it!”
Stavanger RIB safari to Lysefjord with dry suits, fjord-speed thrills, and quick stops for Pulpit Rock and Whiskeyfalls.
“This was an awesome experience! One of the best excursions we took in Norway. It was so much fun and allowed us to see so many sites, some up close. Our tour guide was amazing. We were suited up and did not get wet at all. The seats were comfortable and we had a place to store phone and other small items on the boat with us. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique way to tour the Fjords. Wish I could do it again!”
RIB Fjordsafari on Geirangerfjord from Geiranger. Zoom past Seven Sisters and Friaren waterfalls on a small-group 1-hour ride.
“An absolutely unforgettable experience! The boat tour was good from start to finish. Maybe they need a better organization for check in. The views were breathtaking — crystal-clear waters, stunning mountains in the distance, and a picture-perfect. The crew was incredibly friendly and made the trip even more special by sharing interesting facts about the area. The feeling of peace and freedom while sailing was truly unique. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy nature in a relaxing and memorable way. Worth every minute!”
Speedy RIB safari from Stavanger with Lysefjord fjord views, close-up stops at Fantahålå cave, Pulpit Rock, and Whisky Falls, gear included.
“Very easy to locate from cruise ship, very friendly and knowledgeable team , trip not to be missed and value for money.”
RIB wildlife cruise from Svolvær into Trollfjord for a shot at sea eagles and seals, with dramatic fjord scenery.
“Great excursion with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. He made bird noises to get the eagles to come closer to our boat. It was fantastic to see these birds in action.”
RIB safari from Haugesund to Røvær and Feøy. Fast, wet, small-group fun with local island life and WWII spots.
“We’ve done RIB boat tours before—including a truly memorable one in Greenland weaving among icebergs—so we had a good idea of what to expect: speed, excitement, and great views. Unfortunately, this tour in Haugesund leaned way too far into the “speed” aspect and lost sight of comfort, interaction, and the scenic experience. Once we were suited up, we waited about 10 minutes standing on the dock for the previous group to return, and when our tour ended, the next group was already lined up waiting for us. It was clear this was a tight, commercial back-to-back operation, focused on maintaining a strict schedule. There was no breathing room to adjust…”
Hold on for a fast RIB cruise through the Kristiansand Archipelago, with guided stops for photos, local stories, and photo pauses.
“The trip was exhilarating, the scenery of the surrounding islands was stunning. The trip was perfect.”
RIB speedboat from Bodø to Saltstraumen to spot white-tailed sea eagles and ride past Norway’s famous maelstrom.
“The guide made the experience so much better with his knowledge of the area & wildlife. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Getting to see so many sea eagles close up was very special indeed.”
A 1-hour RIB ride from Eidfjord Harbor with fjord views, wildlife spotting, and power-plant and waterfall stories, plus warm gear.
“We loved the speed and efforts the captain took to make the ride adventurous. Nothing to complain worth every penny.”
Chase orcas on a fast RIB out of Skjervøy, with cold-weather gear, small group care, and coach transfer from Tromsø.
“I think the is the best of all tour operators in Skjervøy. It’s a smaller business but very very recommendable. We got warming clothes and shoes and goggles. I liked that this tour operator did NOT chase the whales like the other companies. We saw orca and humpback whales. Our tour guide was really really friendly and helpful. I wish I could give 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
Speed through Geirangerfjord by RIB from Hellesylt, get close to Seven Sisters and Friaren, and enjoy live guiding plus photo stops for $83.
“This was worth every penny! A fantastic trip across the fjord in a fast boat with a driver who enjoyed jumping the waves made by other boats at a fast speed! The scenery was breathtaking taking and it was quite over whelming to be in the presence of such incredible landscape. The waterfalls were stunning. The guides were brilliant and it was well organised. Loved it!”
