Things to do in

Hengjanefossen Waterfall

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Norwegian fjord landscape aboard a silent and electric boat. Sail from downtown Stavanger along the Lysefjord to Preikestolen, the so-called Pulpit Rock. See where the “vagrants” hid from the sheriff in the old days as the boat stops by Fantahålå (Vagabond’s Cave). Then gaze up at the famous and majestic rock formation Preikestolen, towering 604 meters above sea level. Next stop is the Hengjanefossen waterfall, where the crew brings the bow so close to the falls that you can feel its refreshing spray! Grab a snack from the onboard kiosk and relax on one of the sun decks or inside the spacious and comfortable cabin. Keep an eye out for the occasional seal sunbathing on a rock. Take in the idyllic scenery before returning to the port in Stavanger.

Embark on a RIB boat safari tour and witness the breathtaking scenery of Norway's Lysefjord from Stavanger. Glide across its pristine waters, edging thrillingly close to its towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and flourishing fauna. See the renowned Pulpit Rock, a 600-meter-high plateau jutting out of the surrounding mountainside. Continue to the Vagabond Cave and learn about this old hideout for tax evaders. Gaze up at the beautiful Whisky Falls and marvel at this 75-meter-tall waterfall beneath an old moonshine distillery, and so much more. Unearth the pre-historic origins of the fjord and discover how the last ice age shaped its majestic cliffs and deep waters. Hear stories about some of the colorful characters who left their mark on the region, and keep an eye out for local wildlife, such as seals, porpoises, sea eagles, and more.

Accelerate to speeds of up to 35 knots on this guided RIB speedboat tour to Lysefjord. Stay safe along the way with the provided lifejackets, floating suits, and goggles. Pass by islands, waterfalls, caves, and stunning rock formations as you glide over the water.  Meet your skipper at the pier in the harbor at the heart of Stavanger. Gear up with your well-maintained equipment and embark on your RIB adventure. Head out of the city harbor slowly to admire view of Stavanger from the water.  Cruise under the city bridge and go full throttle on your way towards the fjords. Enjoy the wind in your hair while the boat flies on the water. Catch glimpses of city islands, fish farms, and cozy, traditional cabins that hug the waterside.  Keep your eyes peeled for seals and porpoises from below and fierce eagles from above. Once you arrive in Lysefjord make several stops to capture pictures at sights like the Vagabond Cave, Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), and some waterfalls. Relax on the trip back to Stavanger and disembark at the pier where you began your trip.
