Hike Preikestolen from Stavanger with a local guide, a quieter side trail, fjord views, transport, hot berry juice, and a small group.
“Although the hike up was tiring for me, the views and the experience were worth it. Our guide Erland and his dog made the 2 hour hike worth it, even though the Lysefjord was covered with fog by the time we got up to the top. If I could do this again with more hiking experience I would definitely come back and hopefully then the view isn't covered by fog”

Review of Stavanger’s Preikestolen hidden trail hike, including canoeing, lunch, local guides, mountain views, difficulty, and value.
“I would highly recommend the hidden trail hike, it surpassed all my expectations. A very different experience to the main trail and well worth it as long as you can manage some uphill hiking and a few bits of climbing. It was tiring but plenty of rests and incredible views made it very worthwhile. Alan was an excellent guide sharing so many interesting facts about the trail and the mountain's wildlife.”

“We had a great time and our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. It was a once in a lifetime experience and a beautiful view. The hike was challenging but manageable and our guide gave us lots of breaks for water. Make sure you bring an extra jacket, hat and gloves for the top. We had great weather but the top is freezing and very windy. Overall, a great experience and we loved our guide!”

“Our tour guide Anna was truly excellent. My sister and I had always wanted to kayak the Fjords and today we did just that. Our guide took the time to teach us about the history of the area, seeing the wildlife there and even a little head rub with a local goat on the side of the fjord. Highly recommend !”

Hike snowy Preikestolen from Stavanger with a small group guide, hotel pickup, crampons, and sweeping Lysefjord views for $149.35.
“A great trip up Preikestolen. The guide, Helga was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. We were provided with crampons which worked really well as some parts of the trail were quite icy and full of snow. It got easier once you past the first part of the trail, so keep going! The top was very quiet and we were lucky to have a clear and beautiful sunny day. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”
