Adventure

Since 2006, FjordEvents – founded by brothers Håvard and Atle Gundersen and now led by the next generation, Simon – has created unforgettable adventures in the stunning Lysefjord. We guide groups on ridgid inflatable boats into the Lysefjord and create sustainable memories for people around the world. At FjordEvents, it’s not just about seeing the fjord – it’s about experiencing it, feeling it, and remembering it for a lifetime.

Our story

FjordEvents was established by HÃ¥vard and Atle Gundersen as a family business in 2006 – With two ASIS 8.0 RIB boats with 250 HP Suzuki engines, the adventure began in Lysefjorden.

 

The company is now run by the second generation, Simon Gundersen, Atle’s son. As one of the largest RIB companies in the Nordics, FjordEvents operates a fleet of nine top-quality RIB boats, ensuring both safety and excitement on every journey.

 

Rooted in Stavanger and backed by nearly 20 years of experience, we take pride in sharing the fjord’s beauty and culture with guests from around the world.

As a family business, we have always had one goal:
Create magical nature experiences that bring people closer together.

For almost two decades, we have shared the fjord’s gems with guests from all over the world – from the tranquillity of FantahÃ¥la to the grandeur of Preikestolen and the power of Hengjanefossen. We believe that the best memories are created when they are shared, which is why we put safety, quality, and genuine commitment first.

With us, a trip on the fjord is more than just an experience – it is moments, laughter and memories that you take with you.

Human

Our values aren’t just words on a wall — they’re how we show up every day, on the water and off. They guide how we treat each other, how we welcome guests, and how we face every challenge and opportunity. They turn a job into a calling — and a ride into an experience people never forget.

Safety First

The foundation of every great adventure.

We operate in one of the world’s most stunning — and sometimes unpredictable — natural environments. That’s why safety is never optional. It’s built into everything we do: from how we prepare, to how we communicate, to the decisions we make under pressure.

We don’t take risks with people. Whether it’s checking the weather twice or calling off a tour when conditions shift — we always put safety first, no matter the cost. Because every great memory starts with peace of mind.

Accountable

We take ownership — so every journey feels effortless.

Accountability isn’t just about getting the job done — it’s about doing it with pride. At FjordEvents, we take full ownership of our roles, our results, and our relationships.

If something’s not right, we fix it. If a guest needs help, we act. And if something falls between the cracks, we step in without waiting to be asked. Because when each of us shows up with integrity, the whole experience flows — for the team, and for our guests.

Fellowship of the RIB

Together, we deliver the adventure of a lifetime.

We work as one crew — on land, on the dock, and out on the fjord. Everyone plays a part, and everyone matters. No egos, no silos — just real teamwork, built on trust, respect, and shared goals. Whether it’s helping out after hours, jumping in when someone’s behind, or celebrating a five-star review — we have each other’s backs.

This is more than a workplace. It’s a fellowship — and we’re all in it together.

Passion

Fueling every wave, every story, every ride.

We don’t just work here — we love what we do. That passion comes through in every welcome, every story shared, and every smile as the boat pulls away from the dock.

We bring energy to the experience, even when we’ve done it a hundred times. Why? Because for our guests, it’s the first time. And that’s a chance to make something unforgettable.

Passion is what keeps us sharp, motivated, and proud to be part of something special.

Playful

Because unforgettable adventures should be fun.

Yes, we take safety and professionalism seriously — but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. We believe adventure should feel alive, lighthearted, and a little unexpected. Whether it’s a clever story from the skipper, a spontaneous wave game with the guests, or a fun moment shared between teammates, we bring playfulness into the everyday.

It’s not about being silly — it’s about staying human. Because joy is contagious, and the best memories are made with a smile.

Why Choose FjordEvents

FjordEvents has been delivering RIB tours and unforgettable fjord adventures in Stavanger and the Lysefjord since 2006—long before the industry saw its first competitors. With nearly two decades as a market leader, we offer a level of experience, reliability, and local expertise no one else can match. When you choose us, you choose the region’s most established and quality-focused operator.

Experience builds confidence. Our professional skippers know the fjord, the weather, the routes, and the stories behind every mountain and cliff. They know exactly when the light hits Preikestolen perfectly, where wildlife most often appears, and how to create the most comfortable and spectacular journey for our guests. This expertise makes FjordEvents the preferred choice for local, international, and professional partners alike.

Safety is our identity. All our RIB boats are modern, powerful, and tailored for Norwegian conditions. We follow industry-leading procedures, strict routines, and continuous upgrades to both equipment and training. This ensures an experience that is safe, seamless, and of the highest quality—regardless of group size or weather conditions.

FjordEvents has developed its own routes, stops, and storytelling over almost 20 years. This insight comes only from long-term operation and thousands of successfully completed tours. Although competitors have entered the market in recent years (2022 and 2025), none can replicate the depth of expertise and detail we possess.

We deliver everything from intimate experiences for couples and families to large-scale arrangements for companies, cruise groups, and VIP clients. Every tour is customized—speed, route, photo stops, and storytelling—to offer an experience that is as professional as it is personal. We are known for our service culture, precision, and ability to exceed expectations.

When you travel with FjordEvents, you feel the difference: the quality of the boats, the professionalism of the execution, the warm hospitality, and the depth of local knowledge. This is why our guests rate us highly year after year—and why FjordEvents remains the number one choice for fjord experiences in Stavanger and the Lysefjord.
