Review of the guided Pulpit Rock hike from Stavanger, with route details, fitness advice, guide quality, transport, weather tips, and value.
“The views are great, but this hike is closer to strenuous than moderate. Very busy on the day that we did it (Saturday).”
Review of Stavanger’s guided Pulpit Rock hike, with pickup, small groups, scenic tunnel drive, alternate trails, costs, and practical tips.
“I absolutely loved the Pulpit Rock guided hike! Teodor is a very Knowledgeable and Fun Guide who made this day trip extremely memorable for all of us! Even though the weather wasn’t at its sunniest best, Teodor made sure we discovered the joy of hiking by taking lesser known (and hence tourist free!) routes along the trail and engage in some fun berry hunting! Thankyou Teodor for giving us memories for a lifetime :) Absolutely Recommend this hike to all !”
Review of the guided Kjeragbolten hike from Stavanger, with honest advice on fitness, weather, guides, transport, price, and what to pack.
“This is a must do tour if you're in Stavanger! My guide, Sean, was funny and incredibly insightful while articulating Norwegian customs, the mountain code, allemannsretten, and much more. The hike itself was a good workout and provided some stunning views. Once at the top, the scenery is breathtaking and the lodging of the Kjeragbolten is quite remarkable. This was by far my favorite tour and hike while in Stavanger. I highly recommend it if you're in the area!”
Review of Olden’s Briksdal Glacier hike, with mountain views, waterfalls, practical cruise timing advice, and honest value tips.
“The bus company picked us up right next to the cruise ship. Coach was very comfortable with an excellent driver. The guide was delightful and her narrative was full of interesting facts and thoughts. The scenery was absolutely stunning the whole way to the Briksdal Glacier. The walk to the Glacier is on a really well formed and wide track with a few stone steps here and there. Although quite uphill in places, there was plenty of time to pace yourself and the walk is well worth the effort. you want to stop often anyway and take lots of photos. Take your raincoat even on a fine day as one…”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
