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.

Amazing - Amazing hike. Unfortunately, the view from the top of Preikestolen was a little bit (absolutely) foggy, so it was impossible to see the Lysefjord from that side. Anyway, even foggy, rainy and cloudy, the day was beautiful, and it was possible to enjoy a very calm hike! Nice tour, the guide was very nice too, and the views on the way are extremely pretty. Even foggy, it is possible to take some funny pictures at Preikestolen. Nothing to complain about, very calm and nice hike, 5 starts tour!

Amazing views - Great saying hiking up to the top. Kent our guide was great and provided some fun facts about Norway. Kept a great pace throughout the hike and allowed for a good amount of time at the top. It was a bit cloudy when we got there but then cleared up enough to see the majority of the fjord.

Preikestolen is a must - Great hike, awesome guide, beautiful views and norwegian weather, can't get any better. Hike wasn't that difficult, a few steeper parts and slipper parts but nothing challenging or dangerous. Always be a little bit more cautious in the rain.

Hike to the Top - The hike was challenging for this 70 year old, fairly in/shape male. Periodic rain made the rock path quite slippery. We started at 8 and were ahead the the later arriving hikers. Fantastic feeling of accomplishment to reach the top! Photo opps were incredible.

Highly recommended - Great experience! The guide was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting facts about hikes, habits and life in Norway. I would repeat for sure. The hike was not too hard and it has great infrastructure on the start point.

Great hike with stunning view - Absolutely great experience with our guide Marius. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He is quite a traveler himself and shared a lot of interesting information about Norway during this hike. He was also very attentive to make sure that we move our own pace and kept us safe.

Disappointed - In the description on the booking.com they stated there will short boat trip and after this hike to the Preikestolen . In reality the guy just picked us up with their private bus and we went to the base camp . We payed for boat trip and hike but got the hike only . My advice - if you want save some money don’t go with them - just by tickets and go with regular bus - they going to the base camp every day from Stavanger .We asked our guide - what about boat trip? - he said wow I hear this for the first time ! I need to ask my boss ( he never did ) . By the way the hike was great but little bit disappointed about the boat trip to the fjord( never happened) . ( I have screenshots of the description - for the case if they change or delete it ).

The Basics. Nothing more, nothing less. - The guide did the minimum. He picked us up, drove us to Pulpit Rock, climbed with us, brought us down then drove us back. He never even introduced himself when we got picked up so we do not know his name. When got picked up, there was not greeting or introduction. He just asked for our names. No commentaries or safety tips during the climb. When we got to Pulpit Rock, he just laid down and rested with no communications on how long are we staying there. When asked how long do we have at Pulpit Rock, he said as long as we want since he gets paid by the hour. When dropping us off, he did not even got out of the van to open the door for the first guest to be dropped off.
