The Pulpit Rock is located 600 meters above sea level and is seen from the Lysefjord, but is even more impressive from above.

We depart from the centre of Bergen on a gentle cruise around the city and harbour and you will have a different perspective of the seven hills that surround the city.

The scenery swiftly changes as the cityscape is replaced with views of tiny skerries and offshore islands, some of which are linked to the mainland by huge suspension bridges.
