As you pass under Lysefjord Bridge, you’ll be surrounded by towering mountains. The journey takes you to Fantahala, a hidden cave once used as a refuge by outlaws, before reaching the region’s most famous landmark - Preikestolen, soaring 604 metres above the fjord.
Lysefjord boasts stunning waterfalls, including the mighty Hengjanefossen, where the boat gets close enough for you to feel its cool mist. In spring and summer, you may spot goats grazing on the mountainsides and, with luck, catch glimpses of sea eagles, seals, or porpoises in the water. The cruise returns to Stavanger, and the rest of today is at leisure.
