Adventure and travel from Stavanger to the remote, roadless village of Flørli – home to the world’s longest wooden staircase. Feel the power of the RIB boat, the silence of the fjord, and the thrill of climbing the legendary 4444 steps that rise high above the Lysefjord.
Perfect for active travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, families with older children, and anyone seeking a truly authentic Norwegian experience.
From Stavanger to a Hidden Fjord Village – Your tour starts in the heart of Stavanger, just a short walk from the cruise terminal. One of our experienced skippers will welcome you, provide high-quality safety gear, and guide you through a brief safety introduction. Once seated comfortably on board our powerful RIB, we cruise through Stavanger’s harbor — passing Old Stavanger, the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, and the vibrant waterfront — before the skipper opens the throttle and heads toward the Lysefjord.
As we enter the Lysefjord, the scenery transforms dramatically. Towering granite walls, cascading waterfalls, and deep-blue waters create a stunning natural backdrop.
Keep your camera ready — porpoises, seals, and majestic sea eagles are often spotted along the way. Along the way, we cruise past several iconic sights of the Lysefjord. The legendary Vagabond Cave appears among the cliffs, soon after, the famous Preikestolen comes into view — a sheer rock plateau rising dramatically 604 meters above the fjord.
We also glide by the charming Whiskey Waterfall, where clear mountain water tumbles down the granite wall. At each point, the skipper shares stories, history, and local legends that deepen your connection to the landscape.
The Challenge Awaits – Climb the Legendary 4444 Steps
After about 1 hour and 15 minutes, we reach Flørli, a remote village steeped in hydropower history and surrounded by breathtaking wilderness.
Once in Flørli, you choose your adventure:
The Full Challenge – 4444 Steps
The Short Version – 750 Steps
Whether you reach the very top or opt for the shorter trail, the scenery is stunning and the experience unforgettable.
Relax, Recharge & Enjoy the Fjord. If hiking isn’t your main goal, you can simply soak in the tranquility of Flørli.
Sit down with a cup of coffee, enjoy the silence, and take in the beauty of the surroundings. A simple lunch or full dinner can be arranged on request. After about 4 hours in Flørli, we board the RIB again and make our way back to Stavanger.
