Guided small-group hike to Norway’s Preikestolen, with hotel pickup in Stavanger, safety-focused pacing, and big views over Lysefjorden.

“We were picked up by Andrea right on time at our hotel. We were the only two people that day, so it was a private tour. Grateful that the company did not cancel the tour. Andrea was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and accommodating. The hike was moderately strenuous. We lucked out - there was not a single person on the rock when we arrived.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 180 reviews · 8 hours · from $140

Small-group guided hike from Stavanger to Preikestolen, with a quieter side trail, fjord views, and practical support for 8 hours.

“The day trip was great and the hike was truly memorable! We had to go through some tough weather at times due to heavy rain but with the right gear it was all manageable. Our guide Line was very kind, patient and helpful. At no time during the hike she was rushing anyone, and always made sure everyone in the group was doing well. She also gave us plenty of time at the top of the pulpit rock to really allow us to take in all of the spectacular views. Looking back, I could have done this trip and the hike by myself too but going with the group on…”

5.Guided hike to Kjerag and Kjeragbolten

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 166 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $182

Guided Kjerag and Kjeragbolten hike from Stavanger with hotel pickup, small group of 8, fjord views, and chain climbs.

“I have to say that this hike was more challenging than I thought. For people who don't do this kind of hiking regularly and are not well trained this might be difficult. As it was raining during our hike, some parts were quite slippery and even wet chains were sometimes slippery in hands. The trip itself was nice and our guide was fine but with dry weather without rain the hike would be much easier, however one needs to count with whatever weather in Norway. I am proud of myself that I managed that trip but I wouldn't go for that again because of its demandingness. We managed to take…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 96 reviews · 8 hours · from $219

Winter hike to Preikestolen from Stavanger with a pro guide, quiet snow trail, and hot soup lunch at Villa Rosehagen.

“This was one of the most amazing hikes we’ve ever done. We were incredibly lucky with the weather — clear skies, sunshine, and no wind, with a fresh layer of snow from the night before making the views even more magical. The trail had just enough snow to feel adventurous, but was totally manageable, and the mountain tops around us looked stunning. Our guide, Allen, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable, passionate about the area, and led us through some hidden paths and viewpoints that we’d never have found on our own. We even got to spend nearly an hour at the top of Pulpit Rock with barely any crowds…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 84 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $139Best value

Small-group hike to Preikestolen with a local guide, pickup in Stavanger, tunnel stops, photo help, and snacks included.

“Dag (I hope I spelled his name right) is an exceptional tour guide. Very knowledgeable and patient. Pulpit Rock is rated Moderate and despite what you may read, this is a Moderate hike so be prepared. We had one tour member who could not complete the hike to the top and one who did but took longer than average to complete the hike. Dag was exceptional in making sure everyone was taken care of. Beautiful hike. Stunning views. I can't more highly recommend this Tour and experience.”

Stavanger day trip that mixes a Lysefjord cruise with a self-guided hike to Preikestolen, plus easy bus links back to town.

“Barca molto bella e comoda, Bellissimo giro sui fiordi. L'autobus di ritorno ha la stessa compagnia di quello dell'andata e bisogna chiedere informazioni sugli orari di ritorno all'autista. Nel nostro caso c'erano solo due orari, 16 o 18, noi siamo riusciti a prendere il primo. Il percorso del trekking è ben segnalato e impossibile sbagliare strada.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 11 hours · from $229

Guided Kjeragbolten hike from Stavanger via glacial trough roads. Stand on the boulder and see Lysefjorden from above.

“This was a very hard hike but the views are stunning and worth the struggle. Sean is an experienced adventurer and provided us with helpful tips. I’m glad I didn’t do this hike alone and hired a professional guide. The drive out to the start of the hike is long and the way back feels even longer due to being so exhausted after the hike but we did stop by for ice cream :)”

We were provided with crampons which worked really well as some parts of the trail were quite icy and full of snow. It got easier once you past the first part of the trail, so keep going! The top was very quiet and we were lucky to have a clear and beautiful sunny day. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

SUP or kayak in sheltered Frafjord, then hike to Månafossen waterfall near Stavanger. 7 hours with wetsuits, guide, coffee.

“The activity was great. In the morning, Gabriel picked us up from Stavanger centre and we drove to the waterfall. We were only a group of four and the group dynamic worked well. We hiked to the waterfall and also had enough time to take some photos. At noon we went to the Fjord and Gabriel prepared the Kajaks while we had time to have lunch. Then we started kayaking together with Gabriel, we did the "wet" tour where we also climbed up a waterfall, drank the water and swam in the Fjord which was an awesome experience. Afterwards, Gabriel let us do our own thing, so we were able…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 9 hours · from $269

Winter Lysefjord cruise and a guided Preikestolen hike to Pulpit Rock, with spikes, small-group attention, and dramatic fjord views.

“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…”
