Close to the spray: A 75‑minute rib run through Geirangerfjord's cathedral walls and waterfalls.
The boat slips out of the village and into a narrow fjord framed by steep mountains; for 75 minutes you ride low over the water, the spray and thunder of waterfalls closing the distance between you and raw fjord geology. Local guides narrate the route, pointing out De Syv Søstre, Friaren and Brudesløret while the eco‑friendly RIBs keep the experience intimate and immediate.
