Overview

Action packed fjord cruise into the majestic Lysefjord. We'll start by gliding out of the harbour before accelerating to a thrilling 30 knots. Unlike traditional RIB-boat, our vessel offer enhanced comfort with spacious decks and seating areas, ensuring smooth ride and excellent photo opportunities. On our way we'll pass idyllic islands, fish-farms and small villages. After we pass Lysefjord-bridge the scenery change into massive rock formations. We'll visit Vagabond's cave where some rather shady people hid from the sheriff. We'll also behold the world-renowned Pulpit rock as is stands 604 metres above the fjord. Learn how it was made and why the fjord is shaped as it is. Lastly, hear the fascinating storey of why “Whiskey-falls” got its nickname. Beware, captain might put the boat into the waterfall!

In some cases, a free upgrade is provided, where one strecth of the tour is conducted by minibus for better comfort and additional sights, also ensuring you don’t travel same route twice.

Activity itinerary

Stavanger

  • 15m
The tour start in our boathouse in Strandkaien 34, located in the heart of Stavanger harbour and a very short walking distance from the cruise terminal. Here you will be able to sit down and relax, use our WC, put on the floating suit etc. You will also meet the captain which will help you to put on the safety equipment. He will also give you a small safety brief before boarding the boat. We start off slowly by gliding out of Stavanger harbour while passing mighty cruiseships or other vessels. On the way out you will have a beautiful view of the city centre and to some of the iconic buildings like "Tollboden" and the Norwegian oil museum. After we pass the bridge you will see a gigantic street art painting before we then accelerate to a thrilling 25-35 knots and head to Lysefjorden. Note: due to capacity restraints and regulations we might have to depart from another dock nearby. Fjord Xplore will provide free transfer (<5 min. drive).

Lysefjord Bridge

  • 10m
The Lysefjord, spanning an impressive 42 kilometres, is a marvel of natural beauty nestled in the heart of Norway. The fjord, carved by glaciers during the last Ice Age, showcases a dramatic landscape where steep mountains, adorned with lush emerald forests and cascading waterfalls, rise sharply from pristine waters. World renowned natural formations draw thousands to the fjord every year, including Pulpit Rock, a flat topped cliff offering breathtaking views. As you venture through its narrow corridor, you’ll 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.

As the water pours down the cliff face, it creates a mist that shrouds the mountainside in an ethereal haze.
