Pulpit Rock by Boat

A Scenic Sailing Down Lysefjord Past Pulpit Rock Travel one of Norway’s most stunning fjords to a breathtaking natural wonder: Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock. Meet your guide, board a local sightseeing boat and set off into the Stavanger archipelago. You can admire the many Stavanger vacation homes on these small islets as you pass. Leaving the archipelago, you will enter Lysefjord. Its name, “light fjord”, comes from the lightly colored granite mountains that rise from its waters. As you sail, gaze up nearly 2,000 feet at the famous Pulpit Rock. A popular destination for hikers, this incredible rock formation juts out above the fjord. Pass directly underneath to gain a true understanding of its towering height and marvel at the awe-inspiring mountains and cascading waterfalls that surround you. Before you return to Stavanger, pause to delight in waffles, best enjoyed with cream and sweet jams. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
