If you haven't tried it yet, you should. This is an exiting adventure. Cruise flat sea at 50+ knots or jump the waves for a weightless sensation. Pricy, but well worth it.

Equipment: All provided: Thermal suit, goggles and gloves, no need to bring anything. The suits are really thermal, don't wear too many layers underneath.

Molde River

Favorite thing: Usually, the Molde River trickles through town. There is a tiny waterfall, but not very impressive, except after a heavy rainfall.
