Leaving civilization behind, embark on a cruise in a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) through one of the oldest places on Earth. Feel the freedom as your worries fade away. The 80-kilometer cruise takes you deep into the world's second-largest fjord system and humpback whales. Your adventure begins here. Lean back, relax, and enjoy the fresh air and stunning sights.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
