“The day trip was totally awesome all thanks to Tore who was absolutely amazing throughout the hike and before and after that. He gave us lots of information before and during the hike, waited and listened patiently as we slowly worked our way to Preikestolen. As for the Pulpit Rock and the accompanying views, simply breathtaking and out of this world. Tore went over and beyond all the way including helping us out with something challenging after the tour. My wife and I can’t express our gratitude enough to him. Best tour guide we have ever had and we are in our late 50s and have been on many a…”

He kept us entertained with his enthusiasm, stories and knowledge of the surrounding fauna and wildlife. At pulpit rock we had stunning views, with Alan going above and beyond to take some great photos for us. The hike was organised perfectly and lots of fun. Alan even kindly gave us some insider tips for activities to do during the rest of our trip. Couldn’t recommend this hike enough 100/10.”

Winter Lysefjord cruise and guided Preikestolen hike from Stavanger, small group of 8, snow gear included, panoramic views off-season.

“We loved every moment. Erlend was the best guide we could ask for. He got in touch with us the day before the tour so that everything was covered from our gear to our dietary preferences. The first part of the trip - the cruise - was great. There were plenty of seats, great commentaries and the food too was satisfactory. Then Erlend was kind enough to pick up our lunch and druve us to the basecamp. Erlend had all the gears needed - poles, head lamps, backup hiking shoes, hot tea and so much more. He made sure no one was left behind and stayed calm with us. As…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $211

Guided Preikestolen hike from Stavanger with quiet forest trails, a rare viewpoint detour, and Pulpit Rock cliff time, for a small group.

“Sean communicated clearly with me before the hike. The day before, he suggested amending the departure time from Stavanger to allow for the weather and on the trail he made a couple of changes which we appreciated. I felt Sean was always conscious of the conditions as well as our comfort and safety. The weather was not the best but getting off the busy main track was a joy (as was the cup of hot tea and chocolate when we reached the top). Sean was informative and interesting and the hotel pick-up was on time. All in all, I would highly recommend this trip. Avoiding the busy main track was…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 5 hours · from $156

Run or hike with an English guide from Preikestolen basecamp to Pulpit Rock, with light snacks, a less crowded trail, and huge Lysefjord views.

“John is a knowledgeable, funny, and patient guide. He provided us with an amazing experience of Pulpit Rock, telling us his own experiences and information along the way. He was always patient in waiting for us to climb up the many stairs, and encouraged us to take our time. Consideratly, John moved our tour 30 minutes earlier in anticipation of the rain, allowing us to finish right before the rain started. He was even kind enough to drop us off directly at our hotel. All in all, a memorable guide made possible by John.”
