“We had a great time! It’s our first time snowshoeing. Our guides Gerard and Mia were super friendly, taking care of everyone and making sure we’re enjoying ourselves. They gave us clear instructions on how to use the equipment, helped us putting on our gear correctly and also gave us tips to make our walk easier. My elderly parents weren’t as fit and walked slower than others but Gerard and Mia never rushed them and would pause once in a while to let them catch up while also providing us info about the area or took pictures for us. They were just very encouraging and we are all grateful for…”

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

“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…”

“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.”

“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.”
