Very convenient as it was right next to our cruise ship. Very friendly and informative staff, well worth the money for the trip. Cakes and drinks were available you could pay cash or card. As the boat was Hybrid we was able to get very close to the wildlife, waterfall, pulpit rock and the cave. It was a pleasurable trip watching all the landscape as we went past. The views were amazing. We enjoyed our trip.

The cruise was truly unforgettable. The breathtaking views, the magical atmosphere of the fjords and their sheer majesty created the perfect setting. What made it even more special was that I proposed to my partner on board the ship, making the cruise a memory I will cherish forever!

It was a total experience: not only the spectacular views and the equally spectacular Preikestolen and waterfall, but certainly also the educational and lighthearted information provided by guide Tobias. For example, we now know that the network of powerlines in Norway serves the function of keeping the trolls in.
