A Must Do!
Thomas_N, October 2026
Loved this experience. The captain was wonderful- so warm and friendly and competent. It was cold but the fireman’s suits were toasty warm. The fjords were so beautiful and it was like a spiritual experience. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

An absolute highlight of our trip to Stavanger!
Michelle_H, October 2026
Our Lysefjord RIB boat tour was an incredible experience from start to finish. The speed and adrenaline on the open water were thrilling, and getting so close to the massive cliffs of Preikestolen and the waterfalls was unforgettable. The gear they provided kept us perfectly warm and dry the entire time.
What really stood out was our driver's fantastic hospitality and explanations of what we were seeing. Gian was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make the trip special. On the way back into the harbor, he perfectly maneuvered the boat into the ideal position and paused so we could get an amazing, unobstructed photo of our cruise ship from the water. That extra personal touch made a great tour even better. If you want a fun, close-up, and personal way to see the fjords without the crowds, this is worth every penny!

Aksel made this excursion absolutely special. When he played the outro by M83 as we arrived at the fjord, we got goosebumps and really felt the atmosphere! A thousand thanks to Aksel for this wonderful memory of Norway.
