How to get to Lysebotn

If you are going to Lysebotn, you can travel by car or bus and boat. It is possible to take a weekend trip from the city life in Stavanger, and make it back to Sunday afternoon. We always recommend booking a place on the boat, even if you are traveling without a car. There are good connections between Lysebotn and the starting point of the trip to Kjerag, so feel free to travel without a car.
