“De omgeving is prachtig. Het varen op en een RIB-voertuig is een superervaring. we waren als gezin de enige boeker op de dag dat we gingen. Het was wat regenachtig waardoor het landschap er nog ruiger uit zag. Het uitzicht was echt fenomenaal. De gids vertelde veel over de historie en dan met name over de bewoners van het gebied, de tijd van de Vikkingen en de Duitse bezetting tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog maar ook over de wijze waarop de bewoners zich redden in de winter. Echt een bijzondere ervaring.”
