On the Ground
Despite being in the upper price segment, a majority of guests describe this tour as the highlight of their Norway visit and it is Bergens' most popular private tour because:
1: The knowledgeable skipper: The tour is led by an experienced skipper who provides humorous and informative commentary on the history, culture, and natural environment of the region, adding depth and context to the scenic views.
2: Great for people on a cruise ship: The tour is organized so cruise travelers with a short stay in Bergen get away from the crowds and back in time for departure.
3: The stunning scenery: Previous travelers have praised the incredible views of the well-hidden fjords and shoreline they are taken to during this tour. No swarming bus tourists are to be seen anywhere here!
4: The excitement: Travelers have described the thrill of cruising through the fjords at different speeds, adding extra excitement to the tour in water mostly without waves.
This trip will take you on one of Norway’s most popular and spectacular hikes. It is for good reason that this hike has gained its popularity with visitors to Norway and locals alike. Situated only a few hours from Stavanger, Pulpit Rock - or Preikestolen in Norwegian - is a towering cliff-plateau directly suspended over Lysefjorden. To stand (or sit) so close to the edge is probably the moment that hikers look forward to the most, although it is no easy deed. The top offers unobstructed views over the meandering blue fjord that was formed by the glaciers during the last Ice Age, making it a good spot to enjoy a photo session and possibly a light snack.
Embark on this comprehensive tour of Oslo and explore all its must-see attractions with a licensed guide at your side.
