Fjord Days · WESTERN NORWAY FJORD TOURS
Good western norway fjord tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join Trolltunga Adventures for a two-day hike to Norway’s famous cliff, with an overnight stay, three included meals, and a return visit after breakfast. Guides including Anton, Ola, Marianne, and Hilde lead small groups of up to 10, helping you enjoy Trolltunga with fewer daytime crowds.
“Once in a lifetime experience, cannot recommend it highly enough. Anton and Ola took extremely good care of us!”
Join Trolltunga Adventures for a guided 12-hour hike to Norway’s famous rock ledge. Guides such as Sander, Markus, Lilith, and Camila have led recent outings, with mountain views, Ringedal Lake, snacks, lunch, and coffee included on some departures.
“Sander and Markus were incredible guides. Lunch was great, snacks were too. Can’t beat the view but they made sure everyone in the group got there.”
Start before dawn from Stavanger, hike by headlamp with a small group and guide, and reach Preikestolen for sunrise over Lysefjorden. Guides including Christian, Erlend, Stephan, Hege, and Allan lead the route. After the descent, enjoy breakfast at Preikestolen Fjellstue.
“La llegada al Púlpito cubierto de niebla, a las 5 de la madrugada, fue mágica. No vimos el amanecer obviamente, pero no había casi nadie a esas horas. Nuestra guía era un encanto y entendió perfectamente que éramos mayores y además con una lesión en la rodilla, nos llevó hacia arriba y hacia abajo con sumo cuidado. ¡Felices de haber llegado hasta allí! Tendremos que repetir sin lesión y sin nubes :)-”
Join Hardangerfjord Adventure at 3:30 pm for a 90-minute RIB ride from Øystese. Guide Thor-Arvid has led the trip, which combines fast fjord travel with stops at Kvamsøy, Herandsholmen, and Botnen. A flotation suit, goggles, gloves, and life vest are provided.
“Spaßige Tour mit acrionreichen und informativen Elementen bei wahnsinnig schöner Aussicht, sehr kundiger tourguide. Wir hatten unsreren ursprünglichen Termin leider verpasst, und eine Umbuchung war kulanterweise möglich. Vielen Dank!”
Paddle Lysefjord with Nordic Paddling for about six hours, stopping at Fossånåfossen and Hengjanefossen, viewing Pulpit Rock from below, and entering Fantahålå cave. Sebastian is one guide named in the feedback. Gear, snacks, and photos are included. Bring lunch and water.
“This tour was amazing. We had Sebastian we our gracious guide and host for this tour. Sebastian was very helpful and had great conversation/stories to tell. The experience itself is breathtaking and the fjord water was very calm for a relaxing pace kayak adventure.”
Start with a 45-minute pickup drive from Stavanger, canoe across Refsvatnet, then hike a quiet trail to viewpoints above Preikestolen. Guides including Stephan, Chris, and Allen adjust the pace for the group. Lunch, equipment, and return transport are included.
“Allen and Chris are really good tour guides. They have done this hike multiple times and are one of the fittest people I have ever met. I was just stumped after I heard Chris's fitness stories. They make sure all tour people feel ok, if anyone is hurting and make adjustments on the go. Most importantly, they are also nice people. Thanks guys!”
Join Trolltunga Adventures for a 10 to 12-hour winter hike from Skjeggedal. You’ll follow a snow-covered route with snowshoes, poles, and spikes, reach the iconic Trolltunga formation, eat lunch, and return with an English-speaking guide. Asbjørn is one guide known for warm hospitality and hot chocolate at the top.
“The first part is very steep But absolutely worth it! The guide was amazing!!!! Hot chocolate at the top which really hit the spot!”
From Forsand, your English-speaking captain takes you close to Lysefjord’s cliffs, Preikestolen, and Hengjanefossen waterfall. You will sample fresh waterfall water, enjoy local apple juice and snacks, and return to the marina after about two hours. The boat holds no more than 13 people.
“This was such an amazing experience. Me and my girlfriend booked the trip because we wanted to experience the fjord up close. This is for sure the best way to do that. The small boat was very comfortable and was able to get close to the beautiful rock formations. We even got to drink from a waterfall. Our guide took his time to show us the wonderful little hidden spots in the fjord. And he truly made the magical landscape come alive with his stories about the people and wildlife who live there. We even got some apple cider and chocolate during the trip. This was a unique experience and…”
