Exploring Lysefjorden during spring or early summer is ideal. The weather is mild and crowds are smaller than at peak season. Enjoy this fjord carved by glaciers as you take in amazing natural sights.

From the comfort of an electric boat you can savor the striking scenery and admire the majestic Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) jutting out high above the fjord.

On this 3-hour Lysefjord cruise, you'll take in the striking scenery of the majestic Pulpit Rock, mysterious Vagabond’s Cave (Fantahålå) and the pretty Hengjane Falls. Feel the spray from the waterfall as your boat passes close by the falling mountain water, and gaze in awe at the mountains stretching into the sky high above the fjord. Prepare to make lifelong memories on this tour.

Preikestolen from below

Towering an impressive 604 metres (1981 ft) above the Lysefjord, this striking rock formation is found on the bucket list to people across the world. From sea level you get a unique perspective of the majestic Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) reaching for the sky above the incredible Lysefjord.

Lysefjord

Enjoy the striking scenery of the fjord that end to end the Lysefjord measures 42 km (26mi). The steep rocky walls along its sides are made of lightly colored granite, and gives the fjord its name, as ‘lys’ means light.

Vagabond’s Cave (Fantahålå)

This gorgeous cove with dramatic cliffs surrounded by an aqua-marine pool, apparently got its name from a group of vagabonds who for months sought shelter there trying to escape the local police. The cove is only accessible from the water, and the boat will get you close.
