REAL MOMENTS IN LYSEFJORD
Scenery, waterfalls and real moments from private boat trips through Lysefjord.
The highlights of Lysefjord — at a relaxed pace
The tour starts directly from central Stavanger harbour. From there, we head through the coastal landscape and into Lysefjord, where the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic.
We slow down at Fantahålå before continuing beneath Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), rising 604 metres above the fjord. From there, we continue to Hengjanefossen (Whisky Falls), where there is time to get close to the waterfall and enjoy the surroundings.
The boat is private for your group, so there is no large-group sightseeing schedule to follow. I can slow down for photos, stories and the places you enjoy most while keeping the complete tour to approximately three hours.
Coffee and water are included, and the heated cabin gives you a comfortable place to sit if the weather turns cool. I also take photos during the tour so you can simply enjoy the experience.
Arriving in Stavanger by cruise ship?
I plan the tour around your ship’s schedule. Pickup is directly by the harbour, close to the cruise ship, and I always allow comfortable time for your return before departure.

Questions about your private Lysefjord tour
Here are the most common questions guests ask before booking a private Lysefjord boat tour.
Yes. The boat is reserved exclusively for your group, with no other guests joining the tour. This gives us a more relaxed pace and flexibility to slow down for photos and enjoy the places you find most interesting.
The route includes the main highlights of this part of Lysefjord: Fantahålå, Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) from the water and Hengjanefossen (Whisky Falls). We also travel through the coastal scenery between Stavanger and Lysefjord.
The standard tour is approximately 3 hours from Stavanger and back. This gives us enough time to reach the main highlights of Lysefjord without turning the experience into a long full-day excursion.
The tour starts from central Stavanger harbour, close to the cruise ship area and within easy walking distance of the city centre. Exact meeting details are provided before the tour.
Yes. The tour is well suited to cruise guests. I plan the departure and return around your ship’s schedule and always allow comfortable time for you to be back before departure.
Yes. One of the advantages of a private boat is that we can slow down beneath Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) and get close to waterfalls and other highlights when conditions allow. There is time for photos and simply enjoying the scenery.
The private boat, local skipper and guide, safety equipment, use of the heated cabin, coffee and water, and photos from the tour are included.
The boat is most comfortable for 1–5 guests. Up to 6 guests can join, depending on the group, as there is comfortable indoor seating for around 5 adults. For groups of 6, please contact me before booking so I can make sure the setup is suitable.
Normally, no. The standard 3-hour tour is designed as a boat experience, allowing us to spend the time exploring Lysefjord from the water. A longer tour with a shore stop or meal can be arranged on request, but this will extend the tour and increase the price.
I monitor the weather and sea conditions closely and may adjust the route or timing if needed. If conditions are not suitable for a safe and comfortable tour, I will contact you and we will either adjust the plan or cancel the tour. If you have prepaid, the amount will be refunded.
Yes. The Axopar 28 Cabin has a heated enclosed cabin with seating and shelter from wind and spray. There is also a small toilet on board for emergency use.
