Head out from Stavanger and experience the Lysefjord in the best way possible onboard a high-end RIB-Boat. You’ll gaze up at the gravity defying Preikestolen, towering over 600 meters above you, and see why its first climber named it after a preacher’s pulpit. Discover the secrets of Vagabond Cave, an old hideout for tax evaders tucked away in a narrow cove, and feel the spray of the 75-meter-tall Whisky Falls, whose curious name recalls a German moonshiner that hid his stash of bootleg spirits within earshot of its torrent.
Sightseeing in a RIB will let you get close to nature in ways you simply can’t on larger boats. You’ll trace cliff contours, soak in the mist of waterfalls, and feel the freedom of the open sea. Your captain will be your personal storyteller onboard, not only showing you the wonders of the fjord, but taking you through their history—from ice-age inception to silver-screen stardom.
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, mountain-goats, and more.
Skimming the waters on a RIB is exhilarating, but not extreme in any sense. The tour is well suited for both seasoned seafarers as well as families and retirees looking for excitement within their comfort zone. We adapt each tour to those onboard and always make sure everyone is having a good time throughout.
By the time you’re back in Stavanger, you’ll remember the Lysefjord not just as a view, but as an adventure.
