Ready, set, go! The tour starts in the central Stavanger city harbor, where you’ll get your equipment for the tour along with a safety briefing from your captain. On your way out of the harbor, you will pass by Stavanger from the seaside, a true picture of Norwegian history. The speed starts out gentle, allowing you to take in a full view of the bustling life on the waterfront. Make sure to catch a glimpse of the old city, the Valgberg tower, and the Norwegian Oil Museum.

Embark on your adventure to Lysefjorden as you move into the open waters and leave the city astern. Equipped with two four-stroke engines, you’ll skim across the surface at 35 knots, zooming past islets, skerries, and reefs. As you race along, you’ll spot cozy seaside cabins nestled along the shore and some sizeable salmon farms.

The Lysefjord, spanning an impressive 42 kilometers, is one of the most famous Norwegian Fjords. Carved by millennia of ice ages, it showcases a dramatic landscape where steep mountains, adorned with lush emerald-green 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 venture through its narrow corridor, you’ll be on the lookout for the bustling wildlife that inhabits the region. On a good day it will be possible to spot seals, porpoises, sea eagles, and more.

The notorious Vagabond Cave, known locally as ‘Fantahålå’, is a hidden recess in the fjord’s mountainside tucked away in a narrow cove. Local lore tells of a band of tramps who once hid here to escape the ire of the local sheriff. As the story goes, when he finally caught up to them, they kept him at bay with a rock-solid argument—pelting him with stones until he left them alone. Your captain will navigate the boat right into this hidden pocket in the cliffs, letting your imagination drift back in time to the drama that once unfolded here.

Sculpted by a melting glacier 10 000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, Pulpit Rock is one of the most famous cliffs in the world and one of the most iconic sights in all of Norway. Your captain will position your boat for a front-row view to admire its gravity-defying cliff-face and tell you the stories of the rock’s special place in Norwegian history. From its discovery and treacherous first ascent by Thomas Peter Randulf over a hundred years ago, to its descent by one Henry Cavill by way of Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible: Fallout.

As we approach Hengjanefossen, you'll feel the power of nature in all its glory. This waterfall, also known as ‘Whisky Falls’, stands 75m tall and is unique in that it's not a single, uniform fall. Instead, it's a tangle of cascading stream that weave together to create a truly mesmerizing sight. As the water pours down the cliff face, it creates a mist that shrouds the mountainside in an ethereal haze. Your captain will take you right up to the base of the falls, giving you a perspective few people ever get to experience. You can even grab a drink if you're up for it, the runoff is crystal clear, though sadly not as potent as the nickname may suggest. This playful moniker is a nod to a moonshine distillery that once operated in its vicinity, run by a German fellow named Heinrich Mohr.
