From Stavanger: Lysefjord RIB-Safari: Pulpit Rock, Waterfalls, and more

Experience the heart of the Norwegian fjords from the most awe-inspiring perspective possible on our Lysefjorden RIB-Safari. Departing from the central Stavanger city harbor, you’ll head out on a high-speed RIB into the open sea, feeling the freedom of its vast expanse, the wind blowing through your hair as you zoom past islets, skerries and reefs.

Entering the Lysefjord, you’ll have a front-row seat to its dramatic landscape where towering mountains, adorned with lush green forests and cascading streams, rise sharply from pristine waters. We’ll give you a guided tour of its wonders, taking you right up close to hidden caves, gargantuan waterfalls, and the 604-meter-tall Preikestolen—also known as Pulpit Rock—one of the most famous cliffs in the world.

✅ Wonders of the Fjord: You’ll gaze up at the gravity-defying Preikestolen and understand why its first climber named it after a preacher’s pulpit, discover Vagabond Cave, an old hideout for tax evaders tucked away in a secluded cove, and feel the spray of Whisky Falls while hearing the story of the German moonshiner who once tried to sell it.

✅ Wildlife Safari: Throughout the voyage, 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, mountain-goats, and more. When an opportunity presents itself, the captain will make sure to position the boat so you don’t miss a single photo-worthy moment.

✅ RIB-Adventure: Sightseeing in a high-speed RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) 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 immerse yourself in the fjord with nothing between you and its untamed forces. As one of just twelve onboard, you’ll escape the crowds for an intimate journey into the wilderness.

✅The Best Boats Money Can Buy: With us, you’re always guaranteed an adventure in high-end RIB boats. Our fleet is solely made up of 31-foot Rafters that will ensure you an exceptionally comfortable journey with great views from every seat.

✅ Steered by a Storyteller: This is more than just a boat ride; it's a guided tour led by a local who knows these waters like the back of their hand. Throughout the journey, your captain will stop to share fascinating stories, legends, and historical insights about the wonders you visit. They’ll explain how the last ice age shaped the fjord’s breathtaking cliffs and deep waters, and recount some of the colorful characters who have frolicked within its bounds—from moonshiners to movie stars.

• ✅ Storyteller onboard– Hear tales of smugglers, settlers, moonshiners, and movie stars, told by captains who know the fjord inside out.
