This trip will take you on one of Norway’s most popular and spectacular hikes. It is for good reason that this hike has gained its popularity with visitors to Norway and locals alike. Situated only a few hours from Stavanger, Pulpit Rock - or Preikestolen in Norwegian - is a towering cliff-plateau directly suspended over Lysefjorden. To stand (or sit) so close to the edge is probably the moment that hikers look forward to the most, although it is no easy deed. The top offers unobstructed views over the meandering blue fjord that was formed by the glaciers during the last Ice Age, making it a good spot to enjoy a photo session and possibly a light snack.

    Great trip to Pulpit Rock. Pick at accommodation right on time given . Very informative tour guide Ola . She was encouraging, patient , kind , did not risk us allowed us our own pace . Very knowledgeable. She showed us many interesting local edible plants. Was good to leave early at 7.00 am which avoided the crowds. Plenty of time given at Pulpit Rock. Ola kindly took many photos for us. Highly recommend this tour .

    What an incredible experience. We were picked up from our accommodation in Stavanger by our guide (the wonderful Toa) and driven up to the base of the hike to Pulpit Rock. He chatted comfortably in the way and pointed out areas of interest without being at all intrusive. On arrival he made sure we were prepared (water, waterproofs etc) and then explained the hike, including where the sections of the greatest ascent were. Throughout the hike he was careful to speak to us all and make us feel incredibly safe but excited and motivated. He was very happy for us to take lots of photos and showed us where the best views were, but also watched the weather carefully; when it looked to him that’s was closing in he hurried us along so that we didn’t miss the best views. We were incredibly grateful for this as he was absolutely right and not long after we left the rock, the rain started. That being said; at no point were any of us made to feel that we were rushed or pushed beyond our capabilities. After some time on pulpit rock, he took us up higher for a fabulous view of the rock from above and then back down an alternative route (checking that we were all happy with this) . This alone made the trip woerh every penny; this was so fantastic and we all absolutely loved this. I genuinely cannot recommend this hike or our guide Toa enough. Worth every single penny:

    The hike is mostly straight up. You will need some endurance, experience, and ability to make this climb. The view was wonderful. our tour guide was phenomenal. He was also able to give us a tour of some of the old trail that used to lead up to the rock. I definitely recommend.

    We had an exceptional experience hiking Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) with our guide, Toa from Argentina. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive—ensuring we fully enjoyed the journey at our own pace. Toa provided clear explanations, took care of all the details, and never rushed us, allowing ample time to reach the summit and appreciate the breathtaking views. The descent was also relaxed, with no pressure to hurry. Highly recommend his services for a stress-free and memorable adventure!

    Our guide from Argentina is a very nice guy. He is knowledgeable and patient to allow everyone in the small group to catch up. He also took some beautiful pictures for us. The tour experience was very exciting and rewarding. This is our high point in Stavanger!
