About this tour

Skjolden's fjord RIB adventure puts you at water level on Lustrafjord, the innermost arm of the Sognefjord. From the harbour, the RIB cuts through turquoise glacial water toward steep mountain walls, hidden bays, and the dramatic Feigumfossen waterfall.

Local guides share Sognefjord history at scenic stops while keeping the tour exciting without compromising return-to-ship timing. Wildlife sightings of porpoises and seals add to the adventure on many departures.

This is the main adventure option for cruise passengers who want more than a village walk but need a tour that fits typical 3 to 6 hour port calls.
