Overall rating

4.9 / 5

based on 44 reviews

It was a fantastic tour. At high speed you make a beautiful trip through the fjord. The captain stops at beautiful points and tells about the locals, the environment and the animals that live there. It's doable. You get a waterproof and warm suit on what is needed. Would do it again even in less weather and rain.

The ride was beautiful - great explanations - we learned a lot about the electric power plant and about the animal world. To our delight we saw a white-tailed eagle. In between a lot of fast maneuvers with daring corners, we laughed a lot. Thank you for the nice afternoon.

If you want to experience sensation on the Fjord, this is a tour that you should definitely experience. in addition to the information about the power plan and waterfalls, the speed and sharp turns are fantastic. the rush/adrenaline is superb.

Lots of good information about the area, beautiful views and I loved the small group.

An absolute highlight in the Eidfjord! I absolutely recommend it. Great driver/guide.
