Iconic Preikestolen Hike with Expert Guide
Overview

Mobile ticket
This is the perfect trip for nature lovers, photographers, and experienced hikers hoping to avoid the busier main tourist path and take time to focus on a deeper immersion into nature.
The hike starts with a short, steep climb from the car park before we detour into a rarely used hidden trail that winds its way through the forests, mountains, and lakes. As we hike, your guide will take time to highlight and sample different species of plants, berries, mosses, and lichens, and provide insights into local fauna and cultural heritage.
The final section of the hike culminates in a mountain top with spectacular views of Stavanger, the Lysefjorden and Preikestolen from above - views not seen by the majority of hikers! After enjoying these views, we descend down to the Pulpit Rock to enjoy peering into the fjord below. After a relaxing break here, we choose our preferred return route back to the trailhead.
Can be adapted to suit cruise shore excursions.

5.00Thank you very much for this tour. The tour is wonderful. The guide Stephan is wonderful and knowledgeable. He told me a lot of things about Norway, helped me to take pictures and videos. The food of lunch is also delicious in a cozy restaurant. Although it is only me on the tour today but the tour still runs without cancellation.

5.00Sean communicated clearly with me before the hike. The day before, he suggested amending the departure time from Stavanger to allow for the weather and on the trail he made a couple of changes which we appreciated. I felt Sean was always conscious of the conditions as well as our comfort and safety. The weather was not the best but getting off the busy main track was a joy (as was the cup of hot tea and chocolate when we reached the top). Sean was informative and interesting and the hotel pick-up was on time. All in all, I would highly recommend this trip. Avoiding the busy main track was wonderful.
Unforgettable wonderful tour with the best guide ever

5.00We had an unforgettable hike to the Preikestolen, off the beaten path through the quiet woods. Our guide led us along an old trail where it was just us and the sounds of nature. Reaching the viewpoint in such peace made it our best adventure yet! What a perfect tour, perfect guide, perfect day thank you 🙏🫶🏻 looking forward to come back and join fjordhikes for a wonderful tour so close to nature with such a great guide, perfect vibe and spirit again
