2.5-hour Lysefjord cruise from Stavanger with close-up views of Preikestolen and Hengjanefossen, plus legends, decks, and photo time.
“We had already hiked to Pulpit Rock the previous day. But taking the cruise was well worth it with much different views, and much less strenuous! While the option to sit inside was there, most moved freely on deck for photo ops. Beautiful scenery! Cruise was A+++ and a must.”

Stavanger RIB safari to Lysefjord with dry suits, fjord-speed thrills, and quick stops for Pulpit Rock and Whiskeyfalls.
“This was an awesome experience! One of the best excursions we took in Norway. It was so much fun and allowed us to see so many sites, some up close. Our tour guide was amazing. We were suited up and did not get wet at all. The seats were comfortable and we had a place to store phone and other small items on the boat with us. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique way to tour the Fjords. Wish I could do it again!”

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.”

RIB safari from Haugesund to Røvær and Feøy. Fast, wet, small-group fun with local island life and WWII spots.
“We’ve done RIB boat tours before—including a truly memorable one in Greenland weaving among icebergs—so we had a good idea of what to expect: speed, excitement, and great views. Unfortunately, this tour in Haugesund leaned way too far into the “speed” aspect and lost sight of comfort, interaction, and the scenic experience. Once we were suited up, we waited about 10 minutes standing on the dock for the previous group to return, and when our tour ended, the next group was already lined up waiting for us. It was clear this was a tight, commercial back-to-back operation, focused on maintaining a strict schedule. There was no breathing room to adjust…”

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…”

“Je n'ai pas pu faire l'activité. Mon bateau MSC PRESCOZA a été détourné sur Hambourg en raison des vents violents dans la mer du Nord. Je n'ai pas pu annuler car nous n'avions pas de connexions internet et téléphone. serait-il possible de reporter nos billets à Hambourg le dimanche 5 octobre ?”
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…”
