Guided winter hike to Pulpit Rock Preikestolen

Why hike with the tourists when you can find peace on the trail with us? Combining canoe paddling, hiking along an old path now rediscovered, and an authentic Norwegian packed lunch, we are proud to offer this unique experience to our guests! After pickup in Stavanger, and collecting our delicious lunches, we arrive at Preikestolen Basecamp. After a safety canoe instruction, we paddle across the lake, make our way onto shore, and hike along an old and forgotten trail. Tourists don’t know this trail even exists, and other guide companies don’t use it. This means we have the trail to ourselves! The pace allows for time to adjust clothes and equipment for comfort, time to drink water, rest and enjoy lunch, and to take pictures along the way. The hike takes roughly 3 hours to reach Preikestolen - our main goal for the day. After we have enjoyed the scenery and relaxed for a while, we head back down. It normally takes about 2.5 hours to get back down to the parking area.

After about 2.5 hours, we reach Preikestolen, 604 metres above the Lysefjord, and take in the dramatic panorama—weather permitting, the sunrise paints the mountains in spectacular light. The descent takes about 2 hours, after which we enjoy a simple, fresh breakfast before returning to Stavanger, reflecting on a truly memorable hike.

What are people saying about Stavanger

Stavanger Silent Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock Cruise by Hybrid Boat

ROBERT_G, Jul 2026

Nice long cruise up the fjord

The cruise is run by the same group BRIM that does the Oslo silent cruise. Boats are similar. Three decks. You want good weather of course. First half of outbound is in the open fjord with views of the various shores/islands. Second half is into the fjord with VERY steep walls and incredibly deep water. The Pulpit rock outcropping is famous and visited mostly at the top of it for what is described as the world's best observation point. This cruise looks up at it. Entertaining narration. Nice bathrooms. Some refreshments available. Free water and ice. Leisurely trip.

Great trip with the stunning view at Pulpit Rock

Had an amazing trip to Preikestolen, escorted by our friendly guide. Extremely hot day so would recommend going early if walking it in the summer. Kent our guide was great at allowing us to walk at our own pace. We weren’t hurried at all. The view from the top was well worth it the hike up the rocks. Would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Rasmussen was excellent and knowledgeable. Make no mistake, this hike is challenging. Appropriate footwear and clothing are a must as even on a mild day it is very cold at the Rock. Your knees and ankles will absolutely be tested. If you do decide to do it then this is the company to do it with!

Exciting way to see the fjord! The RIB is fun to ride and can get you closer to the various sites than larger, more conventional watercraft. Also, the RIB can position you again and again to see any wildlife you might encounter. Do not decline to wear the suit they offer, it will get cool and wet during your ride.

Langfoss Waterfall

It was a well organised trip , picked up directly off ship, exactly at 10.30. Lilly our guide was experienced with a through knowledge of all things we ever wanted to know. The Langfoss waterfall is definitely worth a visit with a few added stops on the way there and back. Overall I thought this trip was excellent and definitely worth every penny

A Fun and Memorable Fjord Experience

We had an amazing experience with Graham on the RIB boat tour! He was not only a highly skilled captain but also an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Throughout the trip, he shared fascinating facts, pointed out interesting landmarks, and made the whole experience both fun and informative.The high-speed boat allowed us to cover a much larger area in a short amount of time, giving us the chance to see stunning fjords and spectacular scenery that would have been impossible to reach otherwise. In just two hours, we saw so much and still had plenty of time left to explore the city afterward. Graham was also very thoughtful and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the ride. For cruise ship passengers with limited time in port, this tour is absolutely the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

A Rush of a Boat Tour

Our Stavanger RIB safari tour was a blast. It was a serious boat ride. The tour itself was more intensive than we were expecting, which was a welcomed surprise. Prepare to accelerate or blast off into the waves. We sat in the front of the boat, so we did get some spray and some airtime. (Again, no complaints on any of that). You’ll see cute little sea towns with 8 residents and no cars. The tour itself ended a bit earlier than advertised and it was more difficult to find the meeting point location. The directions provided were very poor, as we stepped off our cruise ship.

Electric Fjord Cruise to Lysefjord & Preikestolen

Fantastic fjord cruise

Great fjord cruise just a few hundred metres from the cruise terminal. We went on the 10am cruise. Ship was very comfortable and the crew were fantastic, it has TVs scattered around the area so you can view where you’re going if you don’t want to venture out on deck. Spotlessly clean and a lovely cafe on board. The visit to pulpit rock and the waterfall were the highlights Highly recommended

Easy to find the start, it’s about a 5-7min walk from the port. Alfons and his able assistant Monika were great guides. Alfons was a calm, relaxed and knowledgeable leader and I really enjoyed the experience. Bikes are stable and powerful and cater for even those not physically fit. Highly recommend

Scenic tour to Steinsfjellet, locals at Kringsjå & Rising Tide

Simon_P, Aug 2025

A great slice of Norwegian culture in a fun day tour

A beautiful trip up to the stunning countryside just outside Haguesund. Our tour started with a drive through the centre passing some of the important buildings and locations. Our first stop was at the scenic viewpoint where we had time to enjoy the view before we started the walk to the charming wooden house at Kringsjåhytta. The walk was only a couple of kilometres but did include some uneven ground, steps and inclines so wear footwear that is suitable for this. Our host at Kringsjåhytta was Tom - the star of the tour - who joyfully and proudly explains the history of the location and the work that has been completed to restore the buildings to their original appearance. We enjoyed coffee and apple cake on the sunny terrace with views down to Haguesund. We loved feeding the sheep and playing fetch with Lissie the sheepdog. A wonderful experience and one that was great fun and enhanced by the small group size. We then walked back along the scenic path the meet our driver. Our last stop was at The Rising Tide horse statues and national monument of Haraldshaugen which were both very impressive to see. This was a perfect trip and our guide Jason helped make sure everyone made the most of their time on the tour.
