Discover the charms of Stavanger and its environs on this delightful half-day tour that begins with a scenic motorcoach drive along the Dirdal River and through the picturesque Dirdal Valley to Byrkjedal, where a rebuilt cheese factory, Byrkjedalstunet, houses a restaurant, a candle maker's workshop and other stores. Dating back to the 1920s, this is the perfect spot to enjoy the traditional Norwegian delicacy lapper (thick pancakes), served with sour cream and jam. Then, browse the shops for souvenirs and locally made handicrafts.

Continue by motorcoach to the unusual site of Gloppedalsura, Norway's largest field of boulders. A photo stop here is an opportunity to capture these remarkable stones as big as houses. Return via a scenic route to Stavanger, where you'll enjoy a panoramic tour of the city's highlights from the comfort of your coach. An optional walking tour through the cobblestone streets of Old Stavanger is included if you wish. Return to port after this pleasant day.
