Went with my boyfriend last weekend & honestly didn’t expect to have THIS much fun! The captain (Alex, I think?) was hilarious and kept us all at ease, even when we went super fast and got a bit SPLASHED. Saw some big birds (eagles maybe?) and crazy cliffs. Bring an extra layer even if it’s sunny, wind is no joke out there! Would 100% do again.

Cool experience overall. We were a group of friends, and the boat ride was wild but felt safe the whole time. The guide cracked jokes non-stop, lol. Only thing, it got a bit chilly halfway, so maybe wear more than a t-shirt. Sights were STUNNING tho. Bit crowded at the start but it thinned out.

Booked this as a surprise for my parents visiting from Spain. They LOVED it! The fjord is unreal, and the captain told stories that made my dad laugh so hard he almost dropped his camera. Felt very welcome as tourists. Pro tip: sit near the front for best views (but more splashes, haha).

Solo trip for me! I was a little nervous but the crew was super chill and organized. The boat is FAST, like, hold-onto-your-hat fast. We stopped at this little waterfall, and everyone was snapping pics. Wish we’d had a bit longer at some stops but still totally worth it.

Took my kids (8 and 11) and they haven’t stopped talking about it. Both said it’s the coolest thing we did all summer. The guide let them pretend to steer for a sec, which made their DAY. Saw seals, too. Everyone super friendly. Bring snacks, there’s no food on board.

What to bring

Bring along your sunglasses on sunny days, a camera, a warm hat or buff, and gloves.

What’s not allowed

Safety is a priority, so this experience is restricted to guests under the age of 6 years.
