Silent Cruise to Lysefjord and Preikestolen from Stavanger

If you're visiting the Stavanger region, you've almost certainly heard of Preikestolen — or Pulpit Rock. Rising 604 metres above the Lysefjord, this awe-inspiring rock formation is one of Norway's most famous hiking destinations. But whether or not you plan to hike up there, another unique experience awaits: discovering this vertiginous landmark from below, aboard a boat on the Lysefjord.

To do so, you'll board a comfortable hybrid electric catamaran in Stavanger. Everything on board is designed to ensure a pleasant cruise. You can take in the fjord scenery from a large open terrace at the stern of the boat or position yourself at the front of the lower deck. When you need to warm up, head inside and continue soaking up the views through the wide panoramic windows. Grab a tea or coffee from the bar, settle in, and listen to the fascinating commentary from the guides as the boat leaves Stavanger harbour!

During your cruise through the Lysefjord to Preikestolen, you'll first pass by the islands around Stavanger before entering the Lysefjord — one of Norway's most celebrated fjords. Here, your guides will introduce you to the Vagabond Cave, a narrow cavity carved into the fjord wall. You'll also draw close to the 75-metre Whiskey Waterfall, another highlight of the region not to be missed. Finally, the moment comes to look up and take in the breathtaking cliff face of Pulpit Rock — Preikestolen. With fascinating anecdotes from your guides throughout, your discovery of the Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock becomes a genuine immersion into the history of this wild and unspoilt region.

To finish your cruise to Preikestolen, you'll turn back and enjoy one last opportunity to admire the fjord scenery before returning to the city. Accessible to all, this silent cruise from Stavanger promises an unforgettable experience to enjoy alone, with family, or with friends during your stay in Norway.
