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!

Our family of four had a great time on this tour! Full of adventure, great commentary and breathtaking views! We also loved the convenience of having wetsuits and gloves provided so we didn’t have to overpack in preparation of our tour.

Great fun!! Windy but warm because of the gear they provide. They even provide googles which fit easily over glasses.

Erik is a great guide and we felt very safe. It was great fun! All outer clothing provided and life jackets. Note it does get chilly when the rib gets up speed even on a warm day.

We had an amazing experience with Graham on the RIB boat tour! He was not only a highly skilled captain but also an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Throughout the trip, he shared fascinating facts, pointed out interesting landmarks, and made the whole experience both fun and informative.The high-speed boat allowed us to cover a much larger area in a short amount of time, giving us the chance to see stunning fjords and spectacular scenery that would have been impossible to reach otherwise. In just two hours, we saw so much and still had plenty of time left to explore the city afterward. Graham was also very thoughtful and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the ride. For cruise ship passengers with limited time in port, this tour is absolutely the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Lysefjorden & Pulpit Rock RIB Safari was a fantastic way to begin our Nordic adventure. We were fortunate to enjoy a bright, sunny day with temperatures around 15°C. The Zodiac boat was both fast and comfortable, allowing us to fully appreciate the stunning scenery of the fjord. Christian, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Altogether, it was a wonderful excursion from Stavanger and a memorable start to our journey through Norway. A great combination of spectacular scenery, an exciting boat ride, and an excellent guide. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Stavanger area.

We have nothing but great things to say. At the last minute we had to change the time of our tour and they were so accommodating. We had so much fun. The tour was breathtaking and was definitely a highlight of our trip. Jonathan the captain, was entertaining and informative. Thank you! Do not hesitate to book this tour!

Trip was great and Jonathan was a great guide. We were fortunate to have a clear day, and it was the perfect way to kick off the morning.
Andrew_H, May 2026
Arrived at the RIB Boat check in area and after the checking in formalities were given a full body suit to put on. These suits kept us very warm and dry once out on the Fjord.
Our Captain was Graham and after giving us the safety briefing told us what to expect once out in the water but also he asked us what our expectations were so as to make sure everyone's experience met their expectations.
Captain Graham was very knowledgeable about the Fjord and told us many stories which were very interesting.
Captain Graham ensured we had a full experience and throughly enjoyed the speedy journey back.
Would definitely recommend this activity and Captain Graham was an excellent guide. Loved every minute of this.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much Andrew, Graham is super flattered by your comments

Linda_S, Apr 2026
Beautiful scenery! Cold and windy for us. But a great trip. Sit in the back for less bumps. We enjoyed!
Ailsa_B, Apr 2026
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.
Julie_M, Apr 2026
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.
Vicky_R, Apr 2026
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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much Sara :-)
Kerry_D, Oct 2025
Wonderful even with all the clouds. The waterfall watching was fantastic and so close. Great guide and funny stories. Great opportunities for taking photos.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
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 :-)
Todd_R, Sep 2025
