• Stavanger - As you depart from the harbor, you’ll pass by Stavanger from the sea, offering a genuine glimpse into Norwegian history. The journey begins at a leisurely pace, allowing you to fully appreciate the vibrant activity along the waterfront. Be sure to catch sight of the old city, the Valgberg tower, and the Norwegian Oil Museum.
• Lysefjord - Approximately 30 minutes into your RIB journey, you’ll enter the renowned Lysefjord. Stretching an impressive 42 kilometers, the fjord presents a dramatic landscape where towering mountainsides, adorned with lush forests and cascading waterfalls, rise sharply from pristine waters. The fjord’s name, meaning “the fjord of light,” is derived from the light-colored granite rocks along its sides. As you navigate its narrow corridor, keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife that inhabits the area. On a good day, you might spot seals, porpoises, sea eagles, and more.
• Fantahålå - The first stop is the legendary Fantahålå, a cave whose name comes from “fant” (vagabond) and “hålå” (cave). Local legend tells of tramps who once hid here from the sheriff. When discovered, they defended themselves by throwing stones until he retreated—earning the cave its notorious reputation and allowing the wanderers to remain free.
• Prekestolen fra Lysefjorden - The captain will then take you right up close to the gravity-defying cliff face of Preikestolen, towering over 600 meters above. You’ll admire its iconic shape, sculpted by a melting glacier 10,000 years ago, and understand why its first climber thought it fitting to name it after a preacher’s pulpit. It’s quite a view, but for you, also a summit waiting to be conquered.
• Hengjanefossen waterfall - Before heading out to conquer the Preikestolen summit, the RIB will make one final stop at Hengjanefossen. This 75-meter-tall waterfall, nicknamed “Whisky Falls,” doesn’t fall as a single curtain but breaks into several cascading streams that rush down the rock face for a truly mesmerizing sight. Your captain will bring the boat right up to the spray and share the story of how a German moonshiner once gave the falls its unusual name.
• Preikestolen Fjellstue - After experiencing the fjord from sea level, the adventure is only just beginning. At a nearby quay in the fjord, experienced nature guides will meet you and take you by minibus to Basecamp. Here, you’ll have a chance to stock up on supplies and prepare for the hike ahead.
• Pulpit Rock - You’re now ready to chase the summit you saw from below. You’ll walk one of the most famous trails in all of Norway. The path starts out gentle, winding through a serene forest, but growing steeper as you ascend. Our guides will support you along the way, cheering you on and sharing captivating tales of the region’s history and wildlife.

Your sense of achievement when you finally reach the peak will be truly unparalleled. As you step onto the Pulpit Rock plateau, a panoramic spectacle of the fjord will unfold before you. Long considered one of the most astonishing vantage points on the entire planet, your view from the top will feel all the more gratifying, magnified by the amazing journey you took to get there. As you peer over the edge, you’ll marvel at the thought that just hours ago, you were gazing up from a boat at this very cliff.

• Ryfylketunnelen - After you make your way back down to basecamp, you’ll be returned to Stavanger in a minibus, notably passing through Ryfylketunnelen—the longest and deepest subsea road tunnel in the world.
