The tour begins in the city center, right next to the cruise port. We'll drive along the harbor and waterfront, passing charming historical buildings. As we cross the city bridge, you'll enjoy beautiful view over Stavanger and its many islands.

After crossing the bridge, our journey continues through "Ryfast," the world's longest underwater tunnel. On the way to Lysefjord we'll pass small villages and lush green valleys. At a spectacular viewpoint you can capture panoramic photos over the sparkling fjord before arriving at our destination Forsand. After enjoying complimentary snacks and drinks, we'll begin our return journey.

TIP: We highly recommend upgrading your experience with our 5 star tour «Lysefjord Safari on speedboat». You’ll get up close to famous sights like mysterious Vagabond Cave, Pulpit Rock and the cascading Whiskey Falls. Feel the wind in your hair as we speed across the fjord while enjoying unique rock formations and thrilling scenery before returning to Stavanger
