Off the beaten track to Pulpit Rock. - Amazing hike to Pulpit Rock with Kenny and a small group. We took the path less travelled and that really did make all the difference. We hardly saw a soul on our trail, whilst the main path was quite over crowded. We had the chance to have a picnic lunch above the rock with magnificent views over the fjord. Kenny was knowledgeable, accommodating, caring and entertaining throughout. I'd thoroughly recommend booking. Thank you Fjord Hikes for a fantastic memory.

Preikstolen with Kenny was fantastic (even when the weather wouldn’t cooperate)! - We hit the jackpot with Kenny as our guide. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He took us off the beaten path to arrive above Preikestolen. Although the weather wasn’t fully cooperating to allow for the dreamy views we had hoped to experience it was phenomenal to create some great family memories in the process! Kenny truly went above and beyond to make this adventure special and we were extremely grateful. We would recommend this tour (especially with Kenny) again and again!

Best hike to see Preikestolen! - Highly recommend this hike! Preikestolen is very busy so if you want a hike away from the crowds, be part of nature and see more beautiful scenery; definitely go with Fjord Hikes! Kenny was a great guide! Really enjoyed the hike!

Amazing day with a great guide - What a wonderful experience with Sean as my guide. He is ao knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and flexible in terms of giving his group the best experience for them. On the way up we took a beautiful hidden path and were the only people on it. Had lunch above Pulpit Rock with amazing views. Sean had great ideas for photos without waiting in line for vantage points. Thoroughly recommend this tour company

A lifetime experience 🤩 - Kenny was a SUPER-DUPER tour guide! He brought us up to Preikestolen on a different way through the woods. I personally really appreciated it, because this way was way less crowded. He showed us every iconic, scenic spot, and also made very good photos of us if we asked him. What I appreciated particularly is that he was always there where he had to be. He leaded the group on the front sometimes, but also went back to the last person and provided support. When I was a bit slower downhill because of my painful toenail, he always waited for me with the group ahead. A very supportive, very thoughtful and very experienced tour guide! My friends and I would go to any other hike with him. 🙌

Spectacular and beautiful hike - We took the side trail and saw almost no one the whole way up, a miracle for such a busy hike. Kenny was a terrific guide, friendly, encouraging, and informative and right on time for pickup. Really fun outing

Great hike - Our guide Erlend was fantastic!. He made an excellent hike and gorgeous view even better. Rather than taking the standard trail up we took what seemed a private trail. We experienced sites that the orderly hikers would never see. I highly recommend this company for your next hiking adventure.
