Top Stavanger Extreme Sports

Make the most of your time on shore in Stavanger by getting back out onto the water on this guided boat tour. Sail into the Lysefjord to soak up the scenery of mountains, waterfalls, and tiny islands, and see such world-famous attractions as Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen). Also visit Vagabond's Cave, which legend says was named after a group of vagabonds who hid there; see goats at summer pasture, and taste clear mountain water from the Hengjane falls.

Lysefjord & Scenic Mountain Road Tour The tour begins with pickup from Stavanger Port, heading to Lauvvik, where we board a ferry for a scenic cruise through Lysefjord. Along the way, admire dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and famous landmarks like Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) and Kjeragbolten, a boulder wedged between two cliffs. At Lysebotn, a comfortable vehicle awaits to take us up Lyseveien, a mountain road with 27 hairpin bends, leading to Øygardstølen (Eagle’s Nest) for breathtaking fjord views. We continue to Byrkjedalstunet, where we enjoy traditional Norwegian food and explore handcrafted goods in a unique setting built into the mountainside. On our way back, we stop at Sverd i Fjell, a monument symbolizing Norway’s unification, before returning to Stavanger Port, filled with unforgettable memories of Norway’s stunning landscapes and rich history.

This private tour to Kjeragbolten offers a perfect balance of breathtaking scenery, comfort, and personal attention. Travel through wild mountain landscapes with your own experienced guide, enjoying a scenic drive with a relaxing stop at a charming Norwegian-style café. After approximately three hours of driving, we arrive at basecamp where you can prepare for the hike, use restroom facilities, and refill your water bottle. The hike takes around 2.5–3 hours each way and follows a spectacular trail with dramatic views and peaceful mountain surroundings. While standing on the famous Kjeragbolten is an unforgettable highlight, the journey itself is just as impressive. If conditions allow, your private guide will take you to a hidden viewpoint overlooking Lysefjord from 1,000 meters above the fjord — an exclusive experience few visitors get to enjoy. This private adventure is designed for travelers who want a safe, flexible, and memorable mountain experience.
