This exciting day trip includes a two-course meal, all transport, and a local, passionate guide. It is a perfect day out for those who wish to taste the very best of the Stavanger region.
After a scenic drive by the beautiful Frafjord, we will hike a short but steep climb to the breathtaking Månafossen (the region's largest and most powerful waterfall). After our hike, we will enjoy a traditional meal made from locally sourced products at Byrkedalstunet. This historic dairy farm has been converted into a hotel and restaurant, features its very own candle factory, and has become one of the most important tourist destinations in the region.
There will be time to explore Bykedalstunet and learn about Norwegian culture and history. Afterward, we will drive into the UNESCO Geopark to Gloppedalsura, the site of a famous WWII battle, and take in the majestic cliffs and stunning views over the largest boulder field in Northern Europe.
Can be adapted to suit cruise shore excursions.

A Pleasant Bit of Adventure

5.00Wonderful day trip without the crowds! A couple of preparation notes: Bring proper hiking boots with good grip on the soles. This hike is not a nature stroll. Hiker must be comfortable with rocky and uneven footing. Also must be comfortable with inclines and descents over stone using the chains and ladders provided on the trail. Don't stop at the beautiful falls! Keep going to the Mån farm; it's picture perfect! The hearty Norwegian lunch I ordered (meat patties with potatoes, carrots, and lingonberry jam) is perfect after the hike (the other options on the menu, including gluten-free options, were also tempting). The candle factory and the grounds are very pleasant to walk around (say hello to the goats!). The candle shop has better gift and souvenir options than the typical tourist shop. The geopark visit at the end rounds out a perfect outdoor day trip. My guide, Sean, was welcoming and hospitable; picked me up from and dropped me off at my hotel. Sean was very knowledgeable of the area and its history and happy to answer any questions I had. Highly recommend this tour!
