Lysefjord RIB Safari from Stavanger





Description
This unforgettable tour to the amazing Lysefjord is absolutely a must if you visit Stavanger! The 42 kilometer long fjord is flanked by steep mountains, some rising over 1000 meters. Visiting the fjord on board a seaworthy RIB is the most exciting way to explore the fjord from sea level. The tour includes stops on the most beautiful parts of the fjord, including the famous Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen). You will be taken good care of by our experienced captains who have sailed in these water for many years. You get to experience some of the most amazing nature Norway has to offer.

Really a great trip! Very scenic and an entertaining commentary the entire way. (Great musical playlist for the ride, too!). Captain Alex was full of energy and helped to make the trip a great success. No reservations in recommending this trip to others.
Utterly thrilling and totally fantastic. I don't have sufficient words to do this justice. Fun, exciting, informative, breathtaking scenery and great music all in 2 hours that we will never forget. It put a smile on the face of a 12 year old, which is a miracle in itself. Don't think about it. Book it and experience it for yourself.
Worth every NOK we spent! Even got lucky and the two uf us were all alone in the boat! The weather looked really bad and I guess the others cancelled, so we have to give credit to our guide Gian who did not cancel our trip but drove us the full ride anyway. A wild ride, completely different experience than the impersonal trip we took on a large boat a few days ago. Great options for photos, the boat almost touches the waterfall, we saw some minks and wild goats on the way (no seals on that day, unfortunately), the guide stopped several times and offered some information about the sights on the way, which is useful for less informed passangers (we came prepared and visitied the fjord before, both by boat and by hiking, so did not really need many information). Guys, spend that extra money, it is worth it! (Not eco friendly, I admit, but...) The gear is top quality (huge goggles and an overall suit), wind and rain will not be an issue, don't be scared. (Think twice only if you usually get seasick.) The fjord is gorgeous on a sunny day, on a gloomy day, on a rainy and windy day. We got lucky and saw all these options within several days. Have fun!
This was WITHOUT a doubt the highlight of our trip, life, etc. what a metal intro to fjords. A few of us were nervous at first (not me 🤡), but once you’re out there, the magnitude of the fjords and the scenery around you completely takes over. The RIB goes pretty fast, which makes it really fun, but never so fast that we felt unsafe. They give you thermal suits that keep you surprisingly warm, so the cold and wind really weren’t an issue. Honestly, this ended up being one of the BEST memories of my life. I can’t recommend it enough. You'll see me again! THANKS SJUR!!!
This is an amazing experience, not to be missed. Our skipper Eric was very knowledgable and funny. He played 80s music for some of our trip, took us into a waterfall and even did some donuts. The views are astounding. We highly recommend you book this trip, you won’t be disappointed
We rode in a RIB boat operated by Gian Olivares. He took us up to dramatic vertical cliff walls and a waterfall of the fjord. He showed us a cave as well as goats on an island. The bumpy ride back was exhilarating.
We had a brilliant rib trip. The team were very friendly and helpful from the outset. Our rib driver Shull (hope that’s the correct spelling) was brilliant. He put everyone at ease, was really friendly and very knowledgeable. The trip was a great mix of stops/local info and time going fast on the rib. My teen daughter thought this was the best part of our whole Norway trip. Would not hesitate to recommend.
An incredible tour with beautiful scenery; we received excellent service. The boatman was careful and attentive throughout the trip. I highly recommend it—it was beautiful.
Excellent experience, fun ride for kids and adults, great speed and got to see some wildlife up close. Our guide (and DJ) Gian was excellent.
Aksel was a great guide! It was my kid’s favorite excursion on our Norwegian fjord cruise. Would 100% recommend.
