Step aboard a silent, electric city boat and discover Haugesund from the water. This 30-minute guided tour offers a unique perspective of the city’s past and present, all while you glide smoothly through the harbor with zero emissions and minimal noise.

Begin at an art gallery, where you’ll meet your captain and guide before heading out along the waterfront. From here, circle the city islands, pass the bustling harbor area, and cruise along both the inner and outer waterways that have shaped Haugesund into the vibrant coastal town it is today.

Along the way, hear stories about Haugesund’s rich herring history and its transformation into a modern maritime and subsea hub. Pass landmarks such as the historic harbor buildings, the iconic Stålehuset, and the Aibel yard—one of Norway’s key players in offshore and energy services.

Pass right by your own cruise ship—an impressive sight from sea level and a perfect photo opportunity. Get a glimpse of everyday life along the waterfront, from working harbors to quiet residential areas, all seen from a perspective few visitors experience.

Keep an eye out for the famous statue of Marilyn Monroe, a surprising and much-loved symbol of the city. After the tour, enjoy local cider and traditional Norwegian waffles at the Viking Advisor visitor center—just like the locals do.
