Fjord Xplore Kjetil's Sunday funday - Kjetil picked us up from the cruise terminal at 11am. After climbing into the provided dry suit and life vest, we were on the water by 11.20am enroute to Lysefjord. The boat is powered by a 350hp Yamaha motor and easily propelled us at 30knots to the fjord passing salmon farms and quaint villages dotted along either shoreline. Kjetil is a Stavanger local and kept us entertained with insights of the local area. It is truly a beautiful waterway and we were fortunate that we had it largely to ourselves and the conditions were pristine. We observed seals at several points in our journey which was an unexpected surprise. Kjetil dropped us back into Stavanger at the public wharf where we continued our exploring. A wonderful approx 2 3/4hrs excursion of a stunning waterway.

Expect the unexpected - Company provides adequate clothing, overalls, gloves, goggles. We didn't know what to expect but wanted something different from just a walking tour. The captain of ship was very accommodating and we were allowed to sit wherever we wanted. The unexpected was the ride to the waterfall. Be prepared. He took the boat right under the waterfall and gave us each a turn experiencing the "spray" from the waterfall. The boat got so close that we got soaked.... like taking a shower. It was the highlight of the trip. Waterproof coveralls worked well. The company was prompt and worth the excitement. The only con is that we wished the captain would have narrated the area we passed. There were some generated music and recordings of the cave and waterfall but not of the area and beautiful scenery we passed. We weren't even sure we had come across Pulpit Rock and had to ask another passenger on the boat. Pulpit Rock wasn't what we expected. From our view, the base, it was smaller and didn't stand out. It was exciting and exhilarating. Nevertheless, the ride was cool and yes.... it is a speedboat ride.

Great fjord and waterfall experience - It was great to get out on the water in a small boat like this. We were given appropriate gear that kept us warm and dry as we sped through the fjord. The views were beautiful. The last part of the tour was to Whiskey Falls where the boat pulled up close enough for those in the front to get wet. We then exchanged seats with those in the back and did it again so everyone had a chance to experience the falls.

Best possible trip to the fjiords to see the cliffs and waterfalls. - Our captain and boat owner. Kjantiel was very skilled with his boat and knowledgeable of the fjiords. The views from the water of the cliffs and waterfalls were stunning. It could not have been a better experience. If you’re looking for an exciting view/ride, you should take this trip on this speedboat. Thank you Kjantiel!

Outstanding Speedboat Trip of Lysefyord - What a wonderful experience! The boat captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. The speedboat worked well for fitting what we wanted to see of the fyord in the 2 hr we had available since we were on an ocean cruise. My wife and our two friends were the only passengers so it was much more personalized of a trip in comparison to the cruise shore speedboat excursions and far less expensive. The bright green boating suits which we wore were comfortable and help cut the cold wind of the trip. Overall a highly recommended trip!

So glad we chose this tour! - I was trying to decide between this speedboat and a RIB boat tour. I definitely made the right decision! The boat is fantastic, and the captain was great. We saw several RIB boats. The passengers were so packed in, it looked like they were sitting on each other's laps. We had plenty of space.

Perfect day - We had a private boat tour with Kjetil. It was an absolute perfect afternoon. Our group was happy about the entire highly professional handling. The impressions were perfect. The child travelling in the group had a "once in a lifetime" day. It was an incredible amount of fun. Kjetil was the perfect guide for our group. Highly recommended. When we will be back in area Stavanger, our first choice to make such a trip will be Fjord Xplore.
