About

A fjord cruise on Lysefjord in Ryfylke present spectacular natural phenomena, such as Preikestolen, the Kjerag mountain, rugged scenery and dramatic rock formations. Lysefjord, in the municipality of Forsand, is 42 kilometres long and 422 metres deep. Along the fjord, you will marvel at Preikestolen, the dramatic rock plateau that stands 604 metres above the Lysefjord and ranks as one of Norway's most popular natural tourist attractions. You will also see Kjerag on the south side of the fjord, another mountain plateau, rising 1100 metres above sea level. If you are lucky, you might hear the gunshot-like bang known as Kjeragsmellet emanating from the rock, and visit the precipitously poised Kjerag Boulder. The fjord is brimming with waterfalls, wildlife, dramatic geology and wild scenery.

The ferry calls at Forsand, Songesand and Flørli in both directions.
