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.

5.00Fantastic fun experience JIB ride, very easy to find when you get off cruise ship, well organised at getting you dressed in warm waterproof suits. The guide was great and he went faster and made it more fun as we had our two teenagers 12 and 16 with us and others on our boat. Highly recommend Great way to see Stravanger from the water.

5.00This 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

5.00From 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 !
