Our Lysefjord RIB-Safari will give you a front-row seat to one of the most famous Norwegian Fjords. Our experienced and sea-savvy Captains will take you right up close to some of the best sights the fjord has to offer, sharing stories and tales along the way. You’ll get to see Pulpit Rock, hidden caves, gargantuan waterfalls, and so much more.
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, and more.
We only employ high-end top-of-the-line RIB Boats, ensuring you a ride that offers the highest degree of comfort, safety, and fun. Skimming the waters on a RIB is exhilarating, but not extreme in any sense. We maintain constant oversight and always make sure everyone onboard is having a good time.
So book your adventure today and let us give you something to reply when your friends and family ask if you did anything fun in Norway.

What To Expect
Stavanger
Ready, set, go! The tour starts in the central Stavanger city harbor, where you’ll get your equipment for the tour along with a safety briefing from your captain. On your way out of the harbor, you will pass by Stavanger from the seaside, a true picture of Norwegian history. The speed starts out gentle, allowing you to take in a full view of the bustling life on the waterfront. Make sure to catch a glimpse of the old city, the Valgberg tower, and the Norwegian Oil Museum.
Hogsfjorden
Embark on your adventure to Lysefjorden as you move into the open waters and leave the city astern. Equipped with two four-stroke engines, you’ll skim across the surface at 35 knots, zooming past islets, skerries, and reefs. As you race along, you’ll spot cozy seaside cabins nestled along the shore and some sizeable salmon farms.

5.00This was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Upon arrival, we were given warm/waterproof suits to don; they even had one for my tall husband! After boarding the RIB, we were all presently surprised to find pockets on the back of seat in front for phones/cameras. The ride was fun, and the sights absolutely amazing. So glad we did this! Highly recommend

5.00We had an amazing experience with Graham on the RIB boat tour! He was not only a highly skilled captain but also an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Throughout the trip, he shared fascinating facts, pointed out interesting landmarks, and made the whole experience both fun and informative.The high-speed boat allowed us to cover a much larger area in a short amount of time, giving us the chance to see stunning fjords and spectacular scenery that would have been impossible to reach otherwise. In just two hours, we saw so much and still had plenty of time left to explore the city afterward. Graham was also very thoughtful and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the ride. For cruise ship passengers with limited time in port, this tour is absolutely the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
