Experience the Lysefjord from every angle on this unique Pulpit Rock RIB + Hike combo tour. Your adventure begins in Stavanger as you speed out on a high-end RIB, feeling the exhilaration of the open sea before entering the fjord’s dramatic landscape. Get up close to hidden caves, towering waterfalls, and the gravity-defying cliff face of Pulpit Rock rising over 600 meters above you. An astounding sight, but also a summit waiting to be conquered. From the fjord, transfer by minibus to Basecamp, where experienced guides lead you on the iconic hike to the top. Along the trail, enjoy stories of local history and wildlife as the forested path opens into breathtaking mountain vistas. At the peak, stand on the famous plateau and take in one of the world’s most astonishing views—made even more rewarding by having gazed up at the cliff from a boat just hours before. Small-group, guided, and truly all-in-one, this tour gives you the full fjord experience on an unforgettable day of adventure.

What To Expect
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.
Lysefjord
After about 30 minutes aboard the RIB, you’ll enter the famous Lysefjord. Extending an impressive 42 kilometers, the fjord showcases a dramatic landscape where towering mountainsides, adorned with lush forests and cascading waterfalls, rise sharply from pristine waters. The fjord's name, meaning "the fjord of light", is derived from the light-colored granite rocks along its sides. As you venture through its narrow corridor, you’ll 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.

4.00Great day. Professional and organized company who communicates exact meeting location. Helpful at every stage and wanting to please. However, for those taking the RIB trip as well as Pulpit Rock, there was no tour guide for the trek up. It would have been helpful to have guide (as detailed in the itinerary) to cheer us on.
