The world’s most beautiful fjord journey

Explore the Lysefjord by ferry

A boat trip through the Lysefjord is an experience that gives long-lasting memories. Glide through the fjord while looking at the steep mountain walls. Pass waterfalls, flocks of copper – also called fjord seals, domesticated goats, and beautiful secluded farms.

By using ferries you can combine fjord sightseeing with an extra night in Songesand, Flørli, or Lysebotn. Wind down, go hiking, and explore the fjord. Several local tour operators offer organized activities such as hiking, kayaking, sailing, RIB boat trips, and more.
