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.

Wonderful even with all the clouds. The waterfall watching was fantastic and so close. Great guide and funny stories. Great opportunities for taking photos.
What’s a little rain?!!

This was a wonderfully fun experience. Since we can’t control the weather, the full body dry suits were perfect. We stayed warm and dry even in the downpours! We felt safe, secure and the captain offered great stories at every scenic stop! Highly recommended.
Brilliant

From ease of booking, friendless of all staff and the trip itself - 5 Stars. This is something I've wanted to do for quite sometime but had always been apprehensive. Ole was considerate to my needs and this enabled me to fully enjoy the trip. Ole was also informative. Great experience.
Great experience - Highly recommended !

The Google Maps location is accurate for the link up area. There was a little shed by the water with the logo. We linked up with our tour lead Daniel, and he sized us for our warm jumpsuits and put on our flotation devices. The front of the boat has storage, and I was surprised it accommodated random items and 2 large backpacks (suggest you confirm prior if you plan to bring a large item). The boat ride was very pleasant and comfortable. Daniel took the time to stop at many locations and provided insite/stories for each stop. It was a fun 2 hours, not too extreme, just how they described it. We enjoyed the trip!
Must do!

Was really good despite the rain. Would recommend waterproof shoes and your own gloves to get the warmth needed. ( it was rainy and cold day in September)
