RIB Boat Trip from Stavanger to Lysefjord

About the Activity

What to Expect

Experience the thrill of a RIB boat trip from Stavanger to Lysefjord, where you'll witness breathtaking fjord landscapes and stunning natural wonders. Departing from the vibrant Stavanger city harbor, you'll be fitted with a life jacket and a comfortable flotation suit before the crew provides a comprehensive safety briefing. As the boat eases out of the harbor, you'll pass by the bustling waterfront, where the gentle speed allows you to take in the lively atmosphere from the water.

Once you are fjordward bound, the excitement builds as you speed past other boats, cozy seaside cabins, and sizeable salmon farms that give you a glimpse into Norway's sustainable fishing practices. The journey takes you under the award-winning Lysefjorden Bridge, a marvel of both aesthetics and functionality. Entering the dramatic Lysefjorden, carved by glaciers, you'll be surrounded by steep mountains adorned with lush forests and cascading waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, including seals, porpoises, and sea eagles.

The first stop is the intriguing Vagabond Cave, where your captain will share stories of 19th-century vagabonds who sought refuge here. Next, you'll be in awe of the towering Pulpit Rock, rising 604 meters above the fjord. The journey continues to the stunning Whisky Falls, where you'll get up close to the base of the falls, offering a unique perspective. After soaking in these incredible sights, your adventure concludes as you make your way back to Stavanger.
