A low‑profile RIB slides out from the quay and the sound of the engine compresses the high, cold air; the fjord narrows and sheer rock walls rise, funnels for waterfalls that throw silver ribbons to the water below. Passengers lean forward as the guide eases the boat close to the Seven Sisters and Friaren—spray daring you to reach out. The trip moves fast but the views are immediate.
