Great trip. Sean was a good with everyone. Just missed the whales by a day. But had a glorious trip. We were moved from midday to 10 am but that worked in our favour so thanks for a great experience
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much for the kind words Simon. I've forwarded your review to Sean. Hope we get to show you some whales the next go around
Ashley_N, May 2024
They gave us an amazing tour. It was so fun and so beautiful. I loved hearing all about the pulpit and how things used to be. The only thing I highly recommend is to be prepared. Our weather was good, but the temperature was freezing. Make sure you wear extra clothing, hats and gloves. The wind from the boat will make the temperature feel lower as well.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for the review Ashley. While all passengers recieve floating suits, it's always good to dress adequately for the weather of your day of departure. We always tell our guests to dress to the extent that you feel warm when standing at the dock waiting for the boat.

The boat tour was fun and the sites were beautiful! The captain took special care of my 86 year old mother - he had her sit beside him so the breeze wasn't so strong and made sure she was safe and comfortable when the boat went over waves. We really appreciated everything he did for her!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much for the kind words Linda. We really do try to help each and every passenger as best we can.

We were fortunate to have superb weather and thus the scenery was wonderful.
Very bouncy, very windy but we stayed dry throughout and the outfits supplied ( no goggles or gloves) were very efficient. Three stops to see Troll's face in the rocks, Pulpit rock and get up close to a waterfall. Expensive but worth it.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you Keith. Good to hear you got your money's worth.
Paula_M, May 2024
We had an exhilarating rib boat ride.
Although the weather was on our side, the safety gear protected us from the wind and spray.
The rib boat was something different to do and was great value. The views as always were stunning and the guide was great and the ride was great fun 😃
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much Paula. Great to hear you enjoyed our tour.

After checking reviews we booked our Rib boat tour through Viator with Stavanger Rib. The meeting time and directions were clearly given and located close to the ship on the pier. Waterproof suits, life jackets were provided and we were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day to enjoy the ride. Dry store was available for bags on the Rib and a useful pocket on the headrest in front for your phone to take those all important photos. We rode out of the harbour to the sound of Bony M and then opened up the throttle, passing little islands, fishing farms, then stopped in a smugglers cave, under Pulpit Rock then onto the beautiful Whiskey Falls.
The whole experience was thrilling and exciting racing along the fjord, wind in your hair, lasting about 1hr 45min. I would definitely recommend booking ahead and have had a really good experience with Stavanger Rib.

Enjoyed it. Good fun. There wasn’t a lot to see regarding wildlife etc but we all enjoyed.
The suits , gloves and goggles were great they gave us as it was very cold and windy but we were toasty warm.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much for the kind words Clare. The amount of wildlife does vary a bit day to day.
