Very informative and entertaining. Nice food bar, plenty of seats, and enough length to the tour for a very enjoyable time.
Up close view of everything

Fantastic way to see Pulpit Rock, Vagabond Cave and waterfalls. The boat gets up close to all of these sites, we could feel the mist of the waterfalls! Highly recommended!
Even fun to do in the winter

Commentary was at a minimum, but there for when you were approaching certain points. I've been on a few of these type trips & travel solo & nice to know that you can leave your bag on your seat, go up on deck, take photos & return without anything being moved. Wasn't sure the view would be clear enough to spot Pulpit Rock, but I did, so well pleased.
Well worth it

Superb trip. Well organised. Good clear commentary. Lots of photos taken. Would highly reccomend taking this trip
Itinerary
Lysefjord
I am sure one of the reasons you have booked your cruise was to experience all the Norwegian fjords has to offer. Let Stavanger be one of the highlights of your cruise.
The fjords were created by glaciers. In the Earth's last ice age, glaciers covered just about everything.
The Lysefjord and the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) are some of the most impressive sights you will enjoy on the tour. The tour really shows off the natural nature at its best.
You will meet your professional guide with an easy 5 minute walk from the cruise pier, the boat offers a sundeck as well as a kiosk. One of the first memorable sights will be the mysterious Vagabond's Cave, a gorgeous cove where dramatic cliffs surround an aqua-marine pool. As legend has it, the cave was named after a group of vagabonds who hid in the shelter for months trying to escape police.
Preikestolen
We then head to the famous Pulpit Rock this is a natural rock formation consisting of a steep cliff, rising 1981 feet above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, with an almost flat top of approximately 80 meters. Also on this exhilarating tour of memorable Lysefjord with its towering waterfalls, idyllic islands, and breathtaking scenery, you'll visit goats at summer pasture and taste clear mountain water from the Hengjane falls.
