Your Exclusive Flørli 4444 Private Adventure

Travel from Stavanger to the hidden fjord village of Flørli in your privately chartered RIB boat. Feel the raw power of the engine, the silence of the fjord, and the thrill of climbing the legendary 4444 wooden steps rising high above the Lysefjord.

This private experience is perfect for families, couples, companies, or small groups seeking a tailor-made, truly authentic Norwegian fjord adventure.

From Stavanger to a Hidden Fjord Village

Your Private Journey Begins – Your skipper welcomes your group personally in the heart of Stavanger, only minutes from the cruise terminal. You’ll receive high-quality safety gear and a short, private briefing before boarding your powerful RIB.

 

Once seated comfortably, we cruise out of Stavanger — past Old Stavanger, the Norwegian Petroleum Museum and the city’s vibrant waterfront — before the skipper opens the throttle and the adventure begins.

Toward Flørli – Nature, Culture & Wildlife Up Close 

As we enter the Lysefjord, the landscape transforms dramatically.
Towering granite walls, deep-blue water, and cascading waterfalls set the scene for your private fjord expedition. Wildlife is frequently encountered — keep your camera ready for porpoises, harbor seals, and sea eagles.

Your skipper customizes the journey to your pace, making stops at iconic fjord highlights including:

  • Vagabond’s Cave
  • Preikestolen / Pulpit Rock rising 604 m above the fjord
  • Whisky Waterfall, where crystal-clear mountain water slides down the granite cliffs

Along the way, you’ll hear personal stories, local legends, and cultural insights tailored to your group.

After approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes, we arrive at Flørli, a historic village surrounded by untouched wilderness and known for its hydropower heritage.

Your Private Challenge

Climb the Legendary 4444 Steps.
In Flørli, you decide the pace and level of adventure: 

The Full Challenge – 4444 Steps 

  • Conquer the world’s longest wooden staircase
  • Admire unbeatable views over the Lysefjord 
  • Suitable for experienced, strong hikers 

The Shorter Option – 750 Steps 

  • A beautiful alternative for those wanting a lighter challenge 
  • Perfect for families or guests wanting a more relaxed hike 

Whether you climb all the way to the top or enjoy the shorter route, the views are spectacular and the experience unforgettable. 
 


Relax, Recharge & Enjoy Flørli – On Your Terms
