This tour follows the coastal waterways around Haugesund, Norway, an area known as the birthplace of the country's name. Participants meet at the pier and walk five minutes to the RIB boat base, where they receive safety equipment including a life suit, life jacket, goggles, and gloves, along with a safety briefing from the captain. The full tour lasts about two hours, with one hour spent on the RIB boat. The RIB boat ride passes through the historic Haugesund straits and opens out to nearby islands and canals. The captain provides commentary about the coastal communities, their history, and local landmarks. Guests may see a White-tailed eagle nesting on one of the islands. The tour includes views of Røvær Island, located 10 kilometers northwest of Haugesund. This small island community has around 100 residents, boathouses, a cultural hotel, walking trails, and a World War II pillbox at Varden, the island's highest point. Weather can cause route changes for safety. The tour also passes Feøy, a group of islands west of Haugesund with about 50 residents. From the water, guests see traditional boathouses, Feøy Brygge - a former wharf now used as a meeting place and restaurant - and grazing sheep. Feøy was occupied by German forces during World War II due to its role in the resistance network. The islands remain a quiet coastal community.
