Fun times
helenelB8240XZ, September 2026
The tour guide was very entertaining and nice. It truly was a very exciting and fun trip. We were lucky with good weather. The boat goes faster than you think! We also saw goats and seals on our trip in addition to Preikestolen and a few waterfalls. I would highly recommend this to a friend. Also we left and got back at the predicted time.
