Additional Information

This journey will lead you to one of Norway’s most renowned and breathtaking hikes. The hike’s popularity among Norway’s visitors and locals is well-deserved. Located just a few hours from Stavanger, Pulpit Rock - or Preikestolen in Norwegian - is a formidable cliff plateau hanging directly over Lysefjorden. The adrenaline rush of standing (or sitting) near the brink is often the high point for hikers, though it’s certainly not easy. The summit provides unblocked views of the winding blue fjord, created by glaciers during the last Ice Age, making it an ideal site for taking photographs or enjoying a light refreshment.

Great Preikestolen trip - What an amazing hike! Taking the guided tour to the Preikestolen was definitely the best option for us - we were picked up from our hotel by our guide Sean, who was really helpful and informative, and judged the pace and fitness of the four of us very well. The early (7am) start proved to be a great move; it meant the hike and the rock itself were pretty uncrowded when we got there (great for our photos!). Big contrast to later in the day, when the coaches had arrived and the way up looked like a long queue of people. Thanks Sean!

Good memories. Great views - Sean , our guide was excellent. He managed to create the rare balance of letting group have freedom it wanted whilst ensuring everyone was safe and having a good time . Lovely hike in magnificent scenery culminating in the spectacular views from Pulpit Rock itself . Good flexibility of pick-up and drop-off pointes . A great day - thank you

Sunset hike: avoid the crowds, experience a night hike and enjoy amazing views! - We did the sunset hike with Shaun and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the stillness of the place (without dozens of tourist, lining up for an instagram shot). Going up in the dark has an adventurous feel (which is great if you want to lure two teenage daughters into doing this hike). The hike was more challenging than expected but if you take your time (which you can) it's absolutely doable. We did it in a speedy 1.40h (hooray for us). Shaun is a sociable, chatty guide and it's the first time I ever experienced a guide who was actually more enthusiastic than the guest (he kept making shots of the sunset). So overall a true five star experience, there' is absolutely nothing that could have been better. Thanks!

Great guide! - Apart from the amazing site at the end of the hike, we had a fantastic guide, a really nice, friendly woman. Before we started the hike the guide explained the profiles of the walk, which was great as the first part is quite steep and gives you a kick start at 8am. The guide was also respectful of the slower walkers and gave them opportunities to take breaks. Great company. Thanks!

Moderate Hike with Amazing Views - I had a pleasant time on this moderate hike alongside Tove and the others. We even lucked out with the weather for some incredible sights on the path

Great hike! - Magnus was very nice and a kind guide. It was very convenient being collected from our air BnB and dropped off too. Better to go early to avoid the crowds as it was packed when we left and walked back down

Go with a group! - Going up with the Viator group made a world of difference! It's a busy and challenging hike and being in a group of 8 allows you to find a hiking buddy who moves at the same speed. The guide was friendly and accessible for us all and took our pictures at the summit... super cool! I'm so happy we spent the extra money to make this day a success!

Best hike, Best Guide, Best view ever! - Sean was a fantastic guide. He’s a super athlete and I felt really safe hiking with him and he kept us at a pace where we could keep our energy up the entire way. The hike is moderate with a few tough spots but worth every moment. That view is out of this world! I came solo and the hiking group was really great. Do not miss this hike, it’s spectacular!

Never and Never Again - We booked a guided tour for Pulpit Rock Preikestolen via Lysefjorden Adventure.Our pick up time planned on 13 May at 7: AM We received the message below from them on 12 May evening at 20:21 “Hi Unfortunately we have not met minimum number of participants for tomorrow, and need to cancel the tour. However, we can reached you to Tuesday if that’s an option for you? I’m sorry for the inconvenience for you. Br Lysefjorden Adventure” I can’t tell the chaos we lived because of this company. We had no sooner prepared our backpacks for hiking than we received a cancelation message from the company.We were in Stavanger only for Pulpit Rock hike.We had purchased our return flights for the later day and they offered us a hike for two days later.I can’t believe.Do they think that all the customers of them are living in Stavanger.Since they offer hotel pick up they must know those customers are out of either Stavanger or mostly of Norway. A professional and reliable company doesn’t send a last minute message unless due to weather conditions.If you need a minimum number of participants you shouldn’t wait untill last minute regarding your customers which need enough time to make a new plan or get through with it.This is disrespectful. After that moment we couldn’t find any other company.Second option was to go on our own.We had to make a new plan,investigated the route and how to go there by bus from Stavanger.It was 2:00 AM when we went to sleep. On this company’s web site that is written: “It can be daunting as a visitor to navigate to Norway’s Pulpit Rock, so enjoy a stress-free adventure by going on a guided hike.” I warn everybody, please read below: “It can be daunting as a visitor if you book a tour via this company”
