The car ferry through the Lysefjord

  • Car, campervan, or motorcycle transport across the Lysefjord
  • Sail the full 42 km between Lauvvik and Lysebotn in 2.5 hours
  • See Preikestolen and Hengjanefossen waterfall from the deck
  • English audio guide included
The car ferry between Lysebotn and Lauvvik is the only way to cross the Lysefjord with a vehicle — a 42-kilometer route through steep cliff faces, waterfalls, and rock formations with no roads in sight.
Along the way, you'll pass Fantahåla, a cave once used as a hideout, Hengjanefossen waterfall plunging 400 meters, and the unmistakable flat top of Preikestolen towering 604 meters above. The English audio guide shares the stories behind each landmark.
Arriving in Lysebotn, you're at the foot of Lysevegen — 27 hairpin turns climbing 800 meters to the Kjeragbolten trailhead. You’re perfectly situated for a journey onward to Sirdal and Southern Norway.
Traveling by car or campervan? This is the practical ferry crossing that doubles as a genuine fjord experience.
