Excursion Haugesund by rib tour at Haugesund

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

This half day tour delivers an adrenaline-filled RIB adventure from Haugesund.

Depart from the pier in Haugesund and begin with a short walk of approximately 5 minutes to reach the RIB departure point. After meeting your skipper, receive a comprehensive safety briefing and don your protective gear before boarding the rigid inflatable boat.

Haugesund coastal waters, Føynå Island, Røvær Island

Once underway, enjoy a smooth initial cruise through the calm waters surrounding Haugesund, offering close-up views of the rugged coastline and nearby islands. Pass the picturesque islands of Føynå and Røvær, the latter once a thriving Viking-era fishing community that reached its peak during the 19th-century herring boom. Today, only a small population remains, lending the island a quiet, atmospheric character.

High-speed RIB adventure

As the boat heads toward the open sea, the pace increases and the experience becomes more exhilarating. Feel the power of the RIB as it rides the North Atlantic waves, with wind and sea spray heightening the sense of adventure. Throughout the journey, keep watch for local marine life—sea eagles are sometimes seen soaring above the water, although sightings are not guaranteed.

After approximately one hour on the water, return to the harbor area. Disembark, return your gear, and enjoy a short walk of about 15 minutes back to the pier, completing an unforgettable high-energy coastal experience.
