Explore the Pulpit Rock in Stavanger

A sightseeing boat takes you through the Stavanger archipelago and into the Lysefjord. Cruise under the Preikestolen 597 metres above the sea level.

Listings:

The first part of the tour gives you a good idea of how the Norwegians live in this area, and you will most likely meet quite a few spending a summer day on board their pleasure boats.

You then cruise into the beautiful Lysefjord, 42 kilometres long (approximately 26 miles) and a pearl in Norwegian nature. The glaciers formed the fjord landscape during a series of ice ages. Mountains soar up to 1,000 metres (3,000 feet) above sea level on both sides of the fjord and in some places it ranges as deep in the fjord as it is high above sea level.

The fjord is also home to one of Norway's most spectacular wonders, Preikestolen, the Pulpit Rock. The rock formation is just over 597 metres above sea level and you will cruise directly under it.
