Tour Description

Our Lysefjord RIB-Safari will grant you a front-row seat to some of the most stunning scenery in all of Norway. Our experienced and sea-savvy Captains will take you right up close to some of the most famous sights the Fjord has to offer, sharing stories and tales along the way. You’ll get to see the renowned Pulpit Rock: a 600m high plateau jutting straight out from the surrounding mountainside, Vagabond Cave: an old hideout for tax evaders, Whisky Falls: a 75m tall waterfall right below an old moonshine distillery, and so much more.

We’ll take you on a deep dive into the fascinating history of the fjord, explaining how the last ice age shaped its breathtaking cliffs and deep waters, and recount some of the colorful characters who have frolicked within its bounds. Throughout the voyage, you’ll also be on the lookout for the bustling wildlife that inhabits the region. On a good day it will be possible to spot seals, porpoises, sea eagles, and more.

The tour starts and ends in the heart of Stavanger City, onboarding takes about 15 minutes and the tour itself lasts 1 hour 45 minutes. All necessary equipment is provided by us, the only thing you absolutely need to bring along is a camera. The boat will make stops for plenty of great photo opportunities throughout your journey. Our fleet solely consists of brand-new top-of-the-line RIB Boats, ensuring you a ride that offers the highest degree of comfort, safety, and fun.

Our experience is tailored to passengers ages six and up. Skimming the waters on a RIB is exhilarating, but not extreme in any sense. The oldest guests we’ve had along have been well past their 90th birthday. We maintain constant oversight and always make sure everyone onboard is having a good time throughout.

From towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls to hidden caves and secluded beaches, there's no better way to experience the dramatic beauty of the Lysefjord than from a seat in our boats. So book your adventure today and let us give you something to reply when your friends and family ask if you did anything fun in Norway.
