We had an incredible Lysefjord Sightseeing RIB Boat Tour from Stavanger with Daniel as our guide. He was fun, energetic, and very informative throughout the trip. Highlights included seeing the impressive Preikestolen, the beautiful Whisky Falls, and even spotting an eagle. The fjord and surrounding islets were absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this tour – and Daniel – for an unforgettable adventure!

Beautiful scenery! Cold and windy for us. But a great trip. Sit in the back for less bumps. We enjoyed!

Brilliant experience well worth the money the scenery is amazing and we got to see dolphins. The suits are definitely needed it gets cold especially sat at the front.
JOHN_N, Apr 2026
Despite high winds and rough waters our captain kept us comfortable and safe. Fun ride and beautiful views.
David_V, Apr 2026
Great experience, guide was great. They gave us all the equipment to keep us dry and warm. Ran long because a passenger needed to be moved and it was rough weather. So keep in mind if you have an experience planned afterwards. I would give an extra hour before other plans. We missed ours.

Well organised fun activity for all the family. Easy to access immediately leaving the ship, very friendly and helpful staff. Great activity for a range of ages (our group was 7 - 60). Full 2 hour rib ride taking in some beautiful views with expert guidance. Very warm with full body suit, gloves and goggles. Be prepared for the ride though as it was bumpy at times and very exhilarating. Felt like I was galloping a horse across county so not for anyone wanting a sedate scenic cruise.

It was a great experience. We were met at the cruise ship and had a short walk to the dock. We were outfitted with protective gear and away we went. It was a fun and bumpy ride. The scenery was amazing.
amy_f, Apr 2026
It may seem long but it is worth every minute and every dollar. The drive in a comfortable sprinter, the ferry ride in fjords, the panoramic views. It captured what I have always pictured for Norway. Grand beauty, soaring mountains, beautiful water. Will never forget.
Julie_L, Apr 2026
It is very cold but vell worth it guide was very informative well organised make sure you wear plenty of layers
Sara_L, Apr 2026
Fantastic fun experience JIB ride, very easy to find when you get off cruise ship, well organised at getting you dressed in warm waterproof suits. The guide was great and he went faster and made it more fun as we had our two teenagers 12 and 16 with us and others on our boat. Highly recommend Great way to see Stravanger from the water.

Thank you so much for the kind words Kerry
David_M, Oct 2025
This was a wonderfully fun experience. Since we can’t control the weather, the full body dry suits were perfect. We stayed warm and dry even in the downpours! We felt safe, secure and the captain offered great stories at every scenic stop! Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much David, no such thing as bad weather when you have good clothes :-)

Was really good despite the rain. Would recommend waterproof shoes and your own gloves to get the warmth needed. ( it was rainy and cold day in September)
Chris_B, Sep 2025
Very fun! Our cruise itinerary wasn’t very scenic. This tour sure was! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and scenic adventure!
RICHARD_S, Sep 2025
As other people say, it will be a highlight of your trip. Price seems hi but is worth it. What stands out though is customer service by both the tour provider and by Viator. Really.

Excellent experience to dive into the grandeur of the Fjords and its waterfalls. It is truly a heart pumping ride with so much fun and excitement. A must do ride with this tour company.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for getting into the groove with us Annette :-)
John_K, Jul 2025
Wonderful boat tour with great customer service. Our cruiseship was late in docking and the tour was great on accomodating a change in time. They were extremely friendly and helpful. Just remember to show up about 15 min befor time on ticket because that is the time when the boat leaves. You need about 10 min to put on the safety gear.
Patrick_H, Jun 2025
Guide was great. Gave great history of fjords. Had overalls, googles and gloves that kept us warm and dry. Great experience.
