This is our shortest RIB tour, giving you an express experience of Færder National Park in one hour. The tour is especially popular with bachelor and hen parties.
The tour goes one way or the other depending on wind and waves. We plan it so that we mostly run with the sea when we are offshore, to make it more comfortable for our passengers. In particularly rough weather we may have to change or shorten the tour to keep to the schedule.
The route
We start at Vallø, then pass the main entrance to Tønsberg at Jarlsø, continue past Fjærholmen, Hvaløy and Bjerrkøy, and on past Kjølholmen, Lindholmen, Nordre Årøy and Søndre Årøy before we point the bow towards Mågerø on Tjøme and show you where the king has his cabin. We continue past Burø and Mostein, Froungen and Ildverket (the 30-knot zone runs all the way here) before we head for Fulehuk lighthouse on a long, magnificent stretch of open sea with action in the waves and free speed. We continue towards Østre Bolæren, move slowly through Kongstenssund, past Mellem Bolæren and slowly through Jensesund and Vestre Bolæren, before we are back at Vallø.
This is a short tour of about 1 hour (weather permitting) and about 30 nautical miles.
