8.Guided Sunrise Hike to Pulpit Rock

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · from $156

Leave Stavanger around 1:00 AM for a guided 4-kilometer climb to Pulpit Rock. Your English or Norwegian-speaking guide leads a group of up to eight through the dark, rocky trail. At the top, you have time for sunrise photos and your own packed meal before hiking back and returning to Stavanger around 8:00 to 10:00 AM.

“The tour was very worthwhile. On a good day, up to 4000 people hike up here. With a sunrise tour you can elegantly avoid the rush hour. The path is good but you always walk on big stones. Sticks can help. The tour description is partly outdated. You take the minibus from Stavanger through the new tunnel to the starting point. The start time was also not entirely clear everywhere. Pick up time in summer was 01:00. Gloves and a hat are highly recommended. Once you are up there waiting for the sun it gets chilly and cold.Read more”
