Further description

Get inspired by the beautiful landscapes, catch your breath and fully take in the great scenery.
On this boat trip qou truly get in touch with the enchanting surroundings.
If you’re lucky, you might even spot a majestic sea eagle gliding through the air or a seal sticking out their nose above the surface.

When the sun gets into the fjord, you will know why its called Lysefjord (Fjord of the lights).

Your captain takes you as close as he can to the vertical mountain drops to feel, smell and taste the pure water freshness of the Hengjane waterfall, or according to Norwegian mythology, the «water of wisdom». A shower in the waterfall will have healthy impact on your hair and skin, we are told from…

One of the highlights of the journey is the narrow gap into the Vagabond Cave and view Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock) from sea level.

Lysefjord Safari Premium will make you feel like a real Viking for a few hours, and you will experience where they lived, sailed and what they ate. The Vikings are known to be real seafarers. They crossed the many seas on raids and missions with their uniquely crafted Viking ships. Their journeys were long and weary, often lasted for several years.

Departure

Cruiseing out of the Harbour

The trip starts slowly along the beautiful harbour of Stavanger. We pass several historical buildings and places on our way out. On the left/port side you will see the Old Town, with many small wooden houses, still in use. On the right/starboard side you will see the modern Stavanger with a mixture of offices, shops, light industry and churches! Close to the waterfront you will se the Norwegian Petroleum Museum. Remember it is Norwegian courtesy to wave to other passing boats!

The Bridge

When we pass the bridge ahead, the captain will speed up to cruising speed 30-35 knots. The fun begins! The captain will make sure everybody is feeling safe and comfortable. During the summer, there is a lot of traffic on the water. We have to navigate between them on our way to the fjord! We are now cruising in a comfortable speed adjusted to the weather conditions to make sure everybody is having a good time. We will now pass some small islands and islets nearby Stavanger. Watch out for sea eagles and porpoises in this area! The fjord we are heading towards now is called Høgsfjord. You can spot a couple of fish farms here, where salmon is produced.

A Taste of Viking Food

We will have a short stop ashore, so you can get a taste of traditional Viking Foods, and get to know how the foods were produced, along the fjords, centuries ago, and are still handcrafted in the same way today, by local craftsmen.

Returning to Stavanger

After we have enjoyd our time in the fjord, we do need to get back to the city. If you want to switch seat (move up front, or back), now is the time. The ride back will be non-stop so you can just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Tour Location

We are located in the bottom of the harbour of Stavanger - next to the fishmarket. The adress is Strandkaien 37, 4005 Stavanger. This is where we will embark the boats and start our adventures!

How to get there

Stavanger is a small city - you can easily walk from one end to another! As long as you are in downtown Stavanger, you can just go for a short walk to find us. Our docking spot is in the bottom of the harbour. There is a big sign next to it, so we are easy to spot.
