RIB ADVENTURE TO HORNELEN
A one-hour, adrenaline-charged RIB trip from Måløy's cruise pier, running beneath the Måløy Bridge into the southern fjords toward Hornelen, Europe's highest sea cliff.
Experience the coastline of Måløy from the best possible perspective, right at sea level, onboard a powerful RIB boat. This adventure combines speed and spectacular scenery as you explore some of the most dramatic waters in the region.
The tour begins by passing beneath the iconic Måløy Bridge, a landmark that has connected the island of Vågsøy with the mainland for decades. From below, the bridge feels massive and impressive, marking the gateway to the fjords and open sea beyond.
From here, the RIB heads into the southern fjords around Måløy, including Vågsfjorden and nearby waterways. The boat’s speed and maneuverability allow you to get close to steep cliffs, narrow sounds, and rugged shoreline, offering a sense of freedom and adventure that larger boats simply cannot match.
Weather and visibility permitting, the tour continues towards Hornelen, Europe’s highest sea cliff. Rising dramatically straight from the ocean, Hornelen is an unforgettable sight. On clear days it dominates the horizon, while in mist it appears mysterious and powerful, changing character with the weather.
Conditions along the coast can vary from calm sunshine to sea spray, fog, or rain, each adding its own atmosphere to the journey. Dressed in flotation suits and guided by experienced local skippers, you can relax and enjoy the thrill of the ride while taking in the raw beauty of the Norwegian coast.
This RIB tour is perfect for those who want more than a traditional sightseeing cruise. It is fast, immersive, and full of natural highlights, offering a memorable adventure on the wild waters around Måløy.
