• 5Well Worth the Money for a Great Hike

  Our guide for the day was Aleksander, and he was great. On the ascent we went off the main path so it was just us on the trail up. He was aware of the group's abilities, so at one point half of our group went the remainder up on the main trail while the rest of us stayed on the off trail, and it was well worth it for the views when we reached the top. Definitely be aware of your fitness as it is a fairly steep climb (~2.5 hours) and wear good hiking shoes as it can be wet and slippery. We were lucky with good weather so the views were stunning. We had adequate time at Preikestolen, the descent was via the main trail so not as challenging, but still requires some effort. Highly recommend this hike.

• 5Great experience!

  I booked this trip for my dad's 70th birthday and it did not disappoint! Alexander was our guide and was able to take us on some different paths up to the top with no other people, so it was a great experience. We were picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel. It was also nice to hike with a group, but that's something to keep in mind when booking that you also need to be a conscientious group member! The hike was a bit challenging, so being in reasonable shape is important. We were blessed with good weather and the views were spectacular.

• 4Extremely challenging terrain and climb

  This was one of the most physically challenging and difficult tours. The climb up and back to pulpit rock is really best suited for well conditioned athletes. The climb is very steep with a trail dominated by large boulders and rocks that require a lot of physical activity and navigating. The views from the top are stunning which balances with the strenuous nature of this tour.

• 2Great place, choose another tour operator.

  The walk, the weather and the scenery were fantastic. But communication with the touring company was awful, even dismissive. Before departure, we explained that our ship was docking at 7:30, later than the stated departure time (7am), so we may be little late. Also I asked for assurance that we’d finish the excursion before the boat left. The response was “we will pick you up at 8.” Also I asked where we’d be picked up and the reply was “silhouette.” No one at the dock knew what “silhouette” meant. It was simply the parking lot adjacent to the dock. They didn’t show until 8:20, while waiting we tried calling and texting with no response. Again I asked the driver if we’d be back to the boat in time, and he replied by saying some people walk faster than others. A grand experience, somewhat sullied by the challenge of dealing with this touring company.

About Stavanger

Stavanger is a harbour city in south-west Norway, with a wooden old town, a medieval cathedral, its oil history and the fjords of Rogaland beyond.

Stavanger stands on a peninsula in Rogaland, south-west Norway, with a harbour lined with warehouses, cafés and wooden buildings. Gamle Stavanger, the old town, has rows of white wooden houses on cobbled lanes, and the cathedral, begun in the 12th century, is among the oldest in Norway. Oil discoveries in the North Sea from the 1960s made Stavanger the country's oil capital, a story told in the Norwegian Petroleum Museum on the waterfront.
