Personal boat trip (with amazing views) - It was a great boat trip. Jim told beautiful stories and could tell them well. We spent 2.5 hours on the water with a snack and drink halfway. Jim is very passionate and friendly. We really enjoyed it.

Excellent - We loved it. Terrible day in the weather, a lot of rain.Jim took this to the background.He informed us of everything, invited us to a delicious apple juice and some sausages from the area and made the 2 hours pass very quickly.
I chose this Enterprise for several reasons: good reviews, small boat and comfortable (speedboats we tried and are fine but are much more uncomfortable, even more so on rainy days you have to wear your glasses all the time) and for being in Forsand, right at the beginning of the fjord.
If you are not staying in Stavanger as was our case, I recommend this tour even more because in total you save 1 hour sailing from there to the fjord.

Recommended! - Beautiful experience today aboard Jim van Ryfelke adventures!! He knew a lot to tell and paid attention to his guests. Tasty local snacks and drinks and a nice company on board really completed the fjord safari. Only downside....the beautiful trip came to an end too quickly, what a beautiful environment! Recommended!!

Lovely trip - A great nice trip, in a comfortable boat. Stopped at several locations with exciting history. Got a taste of clean water right from the mountain and we were also lucky and see seals. Very nice guide 😊
Recommended.

A unique experience - This was such an amazing experience. Me and my girlfriend booked the trip because we wanted to experience the fjord up close. This is for sure the best way to do that. The small boat was very comfortable and was able to get close to the beautiful rock formations. We even got to drink from a waterfall. Our guide took his time to show us the wonderful little hidden spots in the fjord. And he truly made the magical landscape come alive with his stories about the people and wildlife who live there. We even got some apple cider and chocolate during the trip. This was a unique experience and one that we will remember. If you are doubting on how to best see and visit the fjord, I highly recommend doing this tour.

Definitely recommend - We really enjoyed our time on the boat ride with Ryfylke adventures. The customer service was 10/10, very friendly, welcoming and helpful all the time. Always made sure we were comfortable throughout the boat trip and beyond, We found his general knowledge about the place very intriguing. Also the music played for each place we visited on the boat trip was well thought of, we loved it!! Definitely recommend this, thank you so much again:)

Unforgettable Tour in Lysefjord - Ryfylke Adventures
Excellent boat trip in Lysefjord with our guide Jim.
The landscapes are beautiful, the cliffs overlooking the Fjord dizzying, the waterfalls, the fauna and flora, everything is beautiful and peaceful.
On the boat you choose to be outside to enjoy the view and sensations of Jim's accelerations, or inside warm, equally beautiful views comfortably installed on the benches dressed in reindeer skins.
Jim is welcoming, welcoming and exciting in what he tells us about his beautiful region. We shared a hot chocolate chantilly, prepared by his wife, delicious and much appreciated by this nice cold weather.
There is still so much to say, the best is to have the same experience as us, we recommend more than highly.
As for us, we will come back.
A big thank you Jim for this unforgettable moment 💙🇧🇻

Once in a Lifetime Experience - This goes down as one of our favourite travel activities ever! We had a group of 4 and it was just fantastic. It was a great way to see the Fjords and the vastness of them, but also have so much fun. Jim was an INCREDIBLE guide, who shared great history and stories, was so kind and passionate, and took care to show us all of the most exciting parts (even a few waterfall showers!) I would recommend this 10,000 times over. If you book one thing, let it be this. We’d love to come back and do it again. The boat was comfortable and a smooth ride, and we were provided the full weatherproof suit. There is even a cabin if you get a bit too cold or rainy. Thanks for a great tour!!
