What To Expect
Lysefjord
I am sure one of the reasons you have booked your cruise was to experience all the Norwegian fjords has to offer. Let Stavanger be one of the highlights of your cruise. The fjords were created by glaciers. In the Earth's last ice age, glaciers covered just about everything. The Lysefjord and the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) are some of the most impressive sights you will enjoy on the tour. The tour really shows off the natural nature at its best. You will meet your professional guide with an easy 5 minute walk from the cruise pier, the boat offers a sundeck as well as a kiosk. One of the first memorable sights will be the mysterious Vagabond's Cave, a gorgeous cove where dramatic cliffs surround an aqua-marine pool. As legend has it, the cave was named after a group of vagabonds who hid in the shelter for months trying to escape police.
Preikestolen
We then head to the famous Pulpit Rock this is a natural rock formation consisting of a steep cliff, rising 1981 feet above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, with an almost flat top of approximately 80 meters. Also on this exhilarating tour of memorable Lysefjord with its towering waterfalls, idyllic islands, and breathtaking scenery, you'll visit goats at summer pasture and taste clear mountain water from the Hengjane falls. Book early as this tour books up quickly each time a cruise ship is in port. This popular tour guarantees to get you back to the ship in time and we know it will leave great memories of your day. Why travellers choose this experience One of the most popular ways to explore Lysefjord Easy booking with instant confirmation Clear meeting instructions and smooth boarding process Ideal for first-time visitors to Stavanger Great mix of scenery, comfort, and convenience

Boat trip on the Lysefjord

2.00The speaker we sat nearby didn’t work, so we couldn’t hear anything about what was told about what we saw on the road. There was no room so we could move somewhere else.
Very disappointing

2.00Not interesting because you only see a very small waterfall. No interest. We regret having paid so much to see nothing.

5.00Everything went smooth. The first boat filled up, so they brought another boat over. Seating inside is very comfortable, but if you plan on being outside for a long period of time, there is limited seating. Tour is as described. Lots of beautiful scenery. About 3 hours.

1.00We messaged the tour operator and never received a response. We proceeded to the "starting point" and no one showed up. Of course, we will ask for our money back, but RUDE!
Breathtaking views around...

5.00Breathtaking views around every bend. The Lysefjord is one of the most magnificent fjords in Norway. Very windy so plan on bringing a hat or a hoodie. Side note, very delicious cinnamon rools on board too. 😋
Awesome!
