The two-hour Lysefjorden & Pulpit Rock RIB-Safari starts at Stavanger city harbor. Participants receive all necessary safety equipment, including lifejackets and flotation suits in various sizes, as well as additional protective gear like goggles and gloves for colder weather. The captain provides a safety briefing before boarding a high-end RIB boat powered by two four-stroke engines. The boat leaves the harbor at a gentle speed, passing views of the old city, Valberg tower, and the Norwegian Oil Museum from the water. After leaving the harbor, the boat accelerates to speeds up to 35 knots as it crosses Hogsfjorden, moving past islets, reefs, seaside cabins, and salmon farms. The journey continues into Lysefjord, a 42-kilometer fjord formed by ice ages, where steep mountains with green forests and waterfalls rise alongside the water. Wildlife such as seals, porpoises, and sea eagles can often be seen. The captain navigates into Vagabond Cave (Fantahålå), a small cliffside cave with local stories about fugitives who once hid there. Next, the boat approaches Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), a cliff formed about 10,000 years ago. The captain positions the boat for close views of the cliff face and shares its history, including early ascents and its appearance in film. The final stop is Hengjanefossen waterfall, also called Whisky Falls, which is 75 meters tall with multiple cascades. The boat comes close to the base of the falls, allowing a detailed view of the water and mist. The waterfall’s name refers to a former moonshine distillery nearby. The tour maintains constant oversight to ensure safety and enjoyment throughout. The trip is timed to accommodate cruise passengers if needed.
