Fjord walls, island trails and a summer that never quite gets dark. These 15 guided walks are compared on boat transfers, snow-free window and price, since half of them are unreachable before June.

“We had a lovely time hiking through the thick snow to reach a wonderful viewpoint at the very top followed by a lovely homemade sandwich and some chai tea/coffee. Our guide was very informative, friendly, took lots of great photos during the hike & just generally lovely to chat to. I would definitely reccomend to anyone.”

“Fantastic experience! My partner and I did the snowshoe hiking while it was snowing and it was an incredible experience. The two tour guides we had were very nice and considerate. We love hiking but since Tromso was full of snow, we couldn’t go on a long hike. Instead, we opted for snowshoe hiking and I 100% recommend this. 10 out of 10! Also, the huskies were incredibly cute and friendly, and quite energetic!”

He even brought cookies to share along with hot water to make coffee or tea which was great since it was very cold! He made a connection with everyone in our group and you can tell he is passionate about his job. 5 stars! We loved the tour!”

She also was extremely knowledgeable about Norway’s history and wildlife which was fascinating to learn about. The view from the top is incredible and absolutely worth the trip. Would highly recommend. Thank you Else!”

“Excellent day with Theo the Berry Hunter at Pulpit Rock. Theo took us the secret hidden route which meant we didn’t see a single other tourist on the trail (despite it being a busy day) and he made sure we walked at a good pace and took pauses for snacks, water, photos etc. We saw some exceptionally beautiful sights and ate lots of wild berries”
Meet Tore, Mats, or another local guide at Stavanger’s cruise terminal for a six-hour Preikestolen trip. Ride through the subsea tunnel, hike about four hours over rocky ground and stone steps, and enjoy fjord views from Pulpit Rock. Snacks are included, but bring water, food, and rain gear.
“The day trip was totally awesome all thanks to Tore who was absolutely amazing throughout the hike and before and after that. He gave us lots of information before and during the hike, waited and listened patiently as we slowly worked our way to Preikestolen. As for the Pulpit Rock and the accompanying views, simply breathtaking and out of this world. Tore went over and beyond all the way including helping us out with something challenging after the tour. My wife and I can’t express our gratitude enough to him. Best tour guide we have ever had and we are in our late 50s and have been on many a…”

“What an amazing day! I got extra lucky and ended up with a private tour- just Erlend (I hope I spelled that right!), his adorable and wonderfully well trained dog and myself. I was picked up a little bit early and we got to the trailhead in good time thanks to the great driver. The trail itself was so fun- hard but worth every step for the views at the top. Erlend was friendly, helpful and kept the conversation going while talking about the trail, the flora and the fauna in the area. He was a perfect photographer (thanks for all the great shots!) and overall just went above and…”
