Unique hike to a great place in the morning - The hike was a great experience for all 8 participants of our group. It was exhausting to walk to the rock from the parking lot. We were traveling for about 2.5 hours. Our hiking guide regulated the pace well so that all of us came along and we made it to sunrise. There were three climbs to master. A great view and a special quiet atmosphere in the morning rewarded us when we arrived at the destination. There were very few people on the rock and we had the complete Preikestolen for us alone. Monika our hiking guide showed us the best positions to photograph and we had enough time to take all the wonderful pictures. The view and the ascent we made together were impressive, so we didn’t think it was bad that the sunrise wasn’t particularly beautiful to see. On the descent Monika led us over another smaller and beautiful path through the forest, it offers great views. At the end of the descent many hikers met us, who expressed their admiration for our sunrise hike. A great experience and a very good guide during the hike will stay with us.

Fabulous - the beautiful views at the summit were well worth the effort of getting there! - Communication, pick up and drop off all smooth. Our guide was great, very encouraging and patient with me especially (the slowest of the group). The 3 of us really enjoyed the hike and the reward at the top was stunning.

Sunrise in peace over a wonderful summit - Great hike with an excellent guide both friendly and interesting. The idea of doing this night hike is superb and having the opportunity to see the sunrise at the summit without the crowd usually present during the day is priceless. Hiking accessible to all and the guide adapts well to the abilities of each. I highly recommend. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Norway

Breath taking Views - Wonderful visit, completed this with my partner and was guided by the fantastic Benedicta. She was great with guiding us to the top and gave us great information about lsyefjord The word breathtaking is often thrown about very loosely but it was definitely accurate for the views at the top It was great value for money and I would definitely recommended anyone who is able to do it

Unforgettable winter adventure - We went on this hike in December, not knowing what the weather conditions would be. The weather turned out to be perfect, alternating between blue skies and snow storm. Our guide Jakob was really nice and knowledgeable. Beginner hikers should be warned this is not an easy hike. There are several steep climbs and we couldn't have done it without proper equipment (crampons, hiking poles, proper clothing with several layers to adapt to the weather and not get cold or in sweat). All together this was an unforgettable experience. We barely encountered anyone on the trail which made it even more special, so in our case, doing this hike off season was a great idea. Thank you for this amazing experience!

Terrible company - Cancelled 8 hours before tour was due to start . Reason for cancelling was that not economical for tour company since I was the only person on tour.
