Fjord Guiding AS is a licensed activity operator based in Geiranger, Møre og Romsdal, offering guided RIB safaris, boat trips, bike and e‑bike rentals, car hire and seasonal shuttle services. The company operates RIB fjordsafaris from Geiranger and Hellesylt — lively 50‑minute rides that showcase the Geirangerfjord and its waterfalls plunging 1000 meters, led by friendly staff and an experienced captain. Boat trips include guided journeys to Selja Monastery from Selje with a total two‑hour outing and roughly 15‑minute transfers each way. From Måløy, Fjord Guiding AS runs scenic boat tours that visit Selja Island, the dramatic Stad Peninsula cliffs and local lighthouses, and include wildlife viewing and information about sustainable salmon farming. Land-based options include regular and e‑bike hire in Hellesylt (Xeed Urban e‑bikes available) and short‑term car rentals (Ford Fiesta, Fiat 500 or similar) positioned close to the cruise gate for easy collection. High‑speed one‑way boat transfers to and from Skageflå connect Geiranger with the Skageflå trail in under 15 minutes with hourly summer departures; dogs are permitted. Additional combined bus-and‑RIB options run from Måløy and Olden to the Geirangerfjord. Safety is emphasised on RIB trips—especially for private tours from Selje/Nordfjordeid, which are tailored year‑round. Fjord Guiding AS focuses on delivering varied fjord experiences across coastal and inland routes, serving families, cruise guests and outdoor travellers seeking guided boat adventures and self‑guided biking or driving options.
Booking is available online for bike and e-bike rentals, private RIB tours, and scheduled boat departures during the summer season from local piers.
