It was a total experience: not only the spectacular views and the equally spectacular Preikestolen and waterfall, but certainly also the educational and lighthearted information provided by guide Tobias. For example, we now know that the network of powerlines in Norway serves the function of keeping the trolls in.

Set sail through the breathtaking Lysefjord aboard a silent hybrid-electric ship, featuring outdoor viewing decks and panoramic indoor lounges for unbeatable comfort and views.

Marvel at the world-famous Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) from the water as English-speaking guides share fascinating stories, folklore, and local history throughout the journey.

Cruise past majestic waterfalls, mysterious caves, and towering cliffs with chances to spot sea eagles, mountain goats, and even porpoises in their natural habitat.

Relax in heated indoor lounges with free Wi-Fi and complimentary tap water available onboard for your convenience.

Unforgettable moment with Brim Explorer cruise on this Lysefjord tour. Mesmerizing views of fjord, mountains, waterfall with nice weather as cherry on top. The 3.5 hr journey was really worth; will definitely do it again in winter season as well.
