    «"My husband and I went on the Rib Ride tour and overall it was truly excellent. Viking Adventures were really friendly and they were very easy to find at the Cruise Port. It was then a short walk for the safety brief and to get kitted up. Our Captain “Grandpa” was very friendly and had piloted boats in these waters for many many years. He took us to the offshore islands and also to take a closer look at some natural coves and even a Salmon Farm. We also went out to sea to ride some waves and also go high speed around the waters. The tour was brilliant and the excellent value for money. Added bonus also that this is a local company so it’s a great way to support a great local business. Highly highly recommend. "»

    «"Great customer service, easy to locate on the pier. They emailed me the night before saying that the Port Authorities had notified them that our ship would be an hour late docking, and that they had rescheduled our tour for an hour later. The boat ride was thrilling and very fun, it was my favorite excursion on our trip and we did an excursion at every port. The staff was very friendly and recommended things for us to do in port after our boat ride."»

    «"What a wonderful trip! The guides were lovely and informative, and this trip exceeded our expectations. We actually booked this excursion for a day earlier than our ship arrived in Haugesand and the company allowed us to come there next day, even though the mistake was 100% our fault. Very highly recommend. Read more about Rib safari Tour in Haugesund - https://www.viator.com/tours/Stavanger/Rib-safari-and-visits-to-the-island-communities/d4361-313077P3?mcid=56757"»
