Tips and tricks ferry on the Lysefjord

Book ferries in advance. Capacity on board is limited and travelling the Lysefjord is popular. Our recommendation is to book your transfers at least a week in advance.
You can park your car safely and for free on all quays (except Stavanger). You can even bring your car to Flørli.
Campers, low sports cars and busses may be rejected on ferries due to their size and low clearance below the vehicle. Check with the provider.
Save money and book the cheap Kolumbus ferry. It does not operate on saturdays nor on sunday morning however.
Fill up your fuel tank and your food supplies. There is no gasoline station or food store in Lysebotn.
Take your time. Driving in Norway and particularly the windy road to Lysebotn takes longer than Google claims!
