Excursion Arnafjord by rib tour at Vik

Embark on a journey of a lifetime cruising the emerald green waters of the stunning Sognefjord. After a safety briefing and instructions, you'll suit up in a protective, wind-proof outfit and board your Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), setting off on a truly unforgettable adventure. This lightweight, high-performance boat can ideally navigate the varying conditions and bring you up close to nature's surprises, maneuvering through narrow waterways and uncovering hidden treasures.

First, cruise down the breathtaking Arnafjord, a lushly landscaped arm of Sognefjord known for its many cascading waterfalls and lush green sprawling mountain landscapes. Incredibly vibrant in the spring and summer, you'll encounter small farms, including the hill farm Bungane, perched on a mountain ledge almost 500 meters above the fjord.

Next, continue down the most remote arm of Sognefjord, Finnafjord, or hidden fjord known for its lush, nearly untouched nature. Journey across this part of the Stølsheimen Landscape Conservation Area and pass through a small tidal current, experiencing how a fjord system functions with the passing tidal changes. Then, you'll cruise through a narrow straight to come onto what many consider paradise on Earth, Finnabotnen.

Here in this remote, barely touched by modern society wonderland, mountains plunge into the mirror-like fjord, and the only sounds heard are those of the wind, birds, and waterfalls. Far from road access, this spectacular fjord's small farms and magnificent sites are hidden gems few will ever experience. Revel in the peaceful beauty with dramatic steep mountainsides all around – some of the most beautiful scenery Fjord Norway has to offer. Your RIB returns you to the pier and to rejoin the ship.
