Stavanger Silent Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock Cruise by Hybrid Boat
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Sail through Lysefjorden and admire the famous Pulpit rock tower high above from the water. See waterfalls and get close to nature and keep a look out for wildlife.
First we visit the Vagabonds Cave, a narrow outcrop in the side of the fjord and we discover its secrets. Afterwards, we continue to Preikestolen. Translated “preachers pulpit”, Preikestolen is a sight unrivalled in Norway. The rock formation towering over 600 meters above you seems to defy all laws of nature and it’s a stunning sight to see. Lastly we visit the 75 meter tall “whiskey” waterfall and you will learn from our guides why it has received this name.
While our guides share stories and history of Lysefjord, we keep our eyes out for wildlife as well. During the cruise we have a chance to see wildlife, besides plenty of birdlife, there is a chance to see rarer animals such as sea eagles, mountain goats and possibly even porpoises.

5.00I was pleased to be able to book this Stavanger Silent Lysefjord & Pulpit Rock Cruise via Tripadvisor so easily. The details of the excursion were clearly set out and seemed good value when compared to similar experiences. The trip was very well organised by Brim Explorer Stavanger. They kept me well informed about a change to the pickup location which was very easy to find. The staff where all very friendly and welcoming. Our onboard guide provided a detailed, informative and often humorous commentary on landmarks, folklore and points of interest along the way. We had freedom to move around the boat to obtain the best views on open deck, or take shelter and purchase refreshments below deck if desired. Toilet facilities were available. The trip was around three hours long and we were lucky with the weather. A good trip and I would recommend it.
Loved it !!!

5.00This was an amazing morning trip which I booked for when we berthed in Stavanger from our cruise . Pick up was easy to find , had a change of location but this was well communicated via email . Staff were all lovely but big up to the guide who was funny , friendly and informative The coffee on board is also amaaaazing ! The trip is such good value for money , loved the journey to see Pulpit Rock and the waterfall . We enjoyed a taste of the water , which definitely doesn't taste of whisky ! Fave part was the mountain goats though who came to greet us ... made my day Such a good trip. Highly recommend 👌

2.00The trip is only about half way in the Lysefjord, returned after the Pulpit rock. Disappointing since there is much more to see further in the fjord. Like the Flørli steps and Kjeragbolten. Not worth the money.
Excellent cruise

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around Lysefjord. The journey was comfortable and there are plenty of different areas to sit around the boat, both inside and outside. There are facilities on board and a snack bar as well. The staff were very friendly and helpfully, particularly Connor and Tobias. The onboard commentary was interesting and very informative. Would highly recommend this trip
Enjoyable Trip - Good Operator

5.00A very pleasant trip. The boat was comfortable and the crew were friendly. The pick up point in Stavanger had changed but we were given clear instructions a few days before we started our holiday. The pickup point is a short walk from the cruise terminal
Brilliant excursion in...

5.00We were well informed of where to meet as there was a change of venue due to ongoing festival in Stavanger. The crews were friendly and helpful. The information and announcements on the cruise, by Tobias, was interesting and useful. We had light refreshments too from the bar and they were enjoyable. Overall we had a lovely experience. We would highly recommend the cruise.
