Action packed fjord cruise into the majestic Lysefjord. We'll start by gliding out of the harbor before accelerating to a thrilling 30 knots. Unlike traditional RIB-boat, our vessel offer enhanced comfort with spacious decks and seating areas, ensuring smooth ride and excellent photo opportunities. On our way we'll pass idyllic islands, fish-farms and small villages. After we pass Lysefjord-bridge the scenery change into massive rock formations. We'll visit Vagabond's cave where some rather shady people hid from the sheriff. We'll also behold the world-renowned Pulpit rock as is stands 604 meters above the fjord. Learn how it was made and why the fjord is shaped as it is. Lastly, hear the fascinating story of why "Whiskey-falls" got its nickname. Beware, captain might put the boat into the waterfall!

In some cases, a free upgrade is provided, where one strecth of the tour is conducted by minibus for better comfort and additional sights, also ensuring you don’t travel same route twice.

The Lysefjord, spanning an impressive 42 kilometers, is a marvel of natural beauty nestled in the heart of Norway. The fjord, carved by glaciers during the last Ice Age, showcases a dramatic landscape where steep mountains, adorned with lush emerald forests and cascading waterfalls, rise sharply from pristine waters. World renowned natural formations draw thousands to the fjord every year, including Pulpit Rock, a flat topped cliff offering breathtaking views. 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.

    I was trying to decide between this speedboat and a RIB boat tour. I definitely made the right decision! The boat is fantastic, and the captain was great. We saw several RIB boats. The passengers were so packed in, it looked like they were sitting on each other's laps. We had plenty of space.

  • Must do excursion- better than the rib boats !

    It was very well organized and we had a fantastic time. The boat was very comfortable, much more than the typical rib boats. It was less crowded as it is limited to 8 people. Our captain was fantastic and very knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best execursions we have done in our many years of cruising

  • Absolutely worthwhile
