Members' reviews on FJORDSAFARI
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The second experience was the speed boat ride through the Fjords with an amazing guide explaining the rice history. The views were spectacular, and they provide all the proper gear to protect against the cold and water. My only complaint is the speed boat of choice did not have normal seats, you have to straddle the seat sort of like riding a bull and it is not the most comfortable over a long period of time.
