Sea Eagles in Lysefjord!
Sea eagles are one of, if not, the most majestic wildlife we have in the Stavanger region. Yesterday we were lucky enough to see a young sea eagle close to Preikestolen.
The sight was amazing. The eagle was sitting in a tree on the steep mounatin, probably scouting for fish. It flew up in the air as we approached and stayed with us for a few minutes before it disappeared over the mountain tops.
Over the last decades the number of breeding sea eagles have increased in the west coast of Norway. We have seen more sea eagles in the fjords the last years than ever before.
Today there are 5 active nests in the Høgsfjord and Lysefjord area. The sea eagle is the fourth largest eagle in the world, with a wingspan of 2,5 meters.
Maybe you will meet some sea eagles in the beautiful fjords of Norway.

Excellent trip on the rib we were so lucky with the weather only rain at the end. It’s very bumpy but great fun. We saw Pulpit rock and... read more waterfalls deep into the Fjords
14/05/2022What an amazing way to see the fjord, we had a fabulous guide called Arne, who made the experience such fun and was so informative. Would definitely recommend when staying... read more in Stavanger.

It was a beautiful day, and the crew outfit... read more us with thermal wear (kind of like a pullover snowsuit), safety equipment, and optional goggles. I was a little worried when we sat forward in the boat, because the ride is rougher toward the bow, but it was no big deal. The thermal suits we're a godsend, because once you got 35 knots it gets very chilly. The other thing I was worried about was getting wet, but other than a little intentional misting under "Whiskey" Falls, we stayed dry as a bone. I got some great photos and even video of the falls, so thumbs up!

Love the experience. Easy to find the meeting point. Free jacket included and was needed.
Felt comfortable and knew what to do when jumping on waves. Enjoyed the speed.

The selected stops as well.... read more What made this trip a two and not five was the lack of information and guiding. We’ve done RIB trips before where there were speakers placed close to each seat so the driver could give information about what we passed, history etc. while driving. Now part of the trip got boring. So this is our tip how to make this RIB cruise great!

Offers a different view of the Lysefjorden area (IMHO best seen from above).

Fjordevent has a great crew with a lot of knowledge of Lysefjorden. They will speed up and play through the waves making you smile. And then stop to show some of the attractions through the Fjord, as the famous pulpit rock. If lucky you can also spot eagle’s.
Fjordevent is highly recommended and a day well spent to a rather cheap price. Try it and find out!
