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.
- Do not take your camper-van or mobile home to Flørli. We offer car-free camping, so bring a tent in stead. You can also rent-a-tent from us!
- Save money and book the cheap Kolumbus ferry. It does not operate on saturdays 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!
