Øygarden experiences

A coastal paradise filled with spectacular experiences and unforgettable moments.

RIB is a fast, safe, and very stable vessel, offering great opportunities for rapid and efficient transport. While RIB can be an activity for the daring, most people use RIB in a completely different way. At speeds of 35 to 50 knots, 50 cm above the sea, we give you the “kick” you seek, but we always focus on enjoyment and safety. We operate a 29-foot Raven RIB with 2×350 HP Mercury engines, reaching a top speed of 68 knots.

This is a wild, beautiful, adrenaline-filled experience you’ll remember for a long time. On our RIB tours, we provide Helly Hansen suits, goggles, safety equipment, and Gecko headgear helmets. It is important to wear good footwear and gloves.

A combination of high speed, beautiful nature, rough seas, and abundant bird life are some of the things you’ll experience from our RIB. The group will enjoy a thrilling ride between islets and skerries towards the open sea via Turøy and the Turøy channel from our base in Vik, Øygarden. A safety briefing is conducted before departure.

Sea safaris are leisurely RIB tours conducted in sheltered and calm sea areas. We navigate through the Turøy channel, enriched with sandy bottoms, wildlife, boathouse environments, and great opportunities to spot sea eagles. At certain times of the year, you may also encounter porpoises on the tour.

"Food & talk"

"Mat & Prat" with Endre

Make your team-building event extra special with a social and flavorful experience at our venue! Our general manager, Endre, invites you to an informal «Mat & Prat» session, where culinary joy, creativity, and togetherness are at the heart of it all. In 2006, Endre was named "Chef of the Year" by the Norwegian Chef Masters Association and brings extensive experience from kitchens both in Norway and abroad.

Endre guides you through a fun and relaxed process, where he demonstrates techniques, shares stories, and inspires as he prepares selected parts of the meal. You'll get hands-on experience and be guided through the menu from start to finished dish – perhaps creating an appetizer or an exciting, flavorful element of the meal – all while laughter and good conversations fill the room. The kitchen team then takes over to finalize the dishes, allowing you to sit back and enjoy a well-deserved break. Together with the kitchen, the dishes are plated and presented, leading to a delightful dining experience.

Creating memories through food

This is the perfect opportunity to unwind, connect, and create memories together. Whether it’s crafting a flavorful appetizer or an innovative detail for the main course, this experience offers both inspiration and warmth – a true "Food & Talk" moment in unique surroundings.

What it takes to earn points isn’t strictly defined—it’s all about bringing your energy and contributing to the good vibes! Teams of 4-8 participants are formed, and the quiz is played in two rounds. Each team gets to choose a creative team name and take a team photo that’s displayed on the big screen during the game’s break. The songs in this concept are well-known and beloved classics that we all grew up with and have a connection to. These tracks are perfect for sing-alongs, ensuring an incredible atmosphere throughout the quiz. After a round of standard quiz questions tailored to the performed music, the game transitions to a new phase. Here, the task is to join in with the songs being performed and compete with other teams by showcasing energy and adding high entertainment value!
