Guided snowshoe hike from Tromsø with a husky partner, then meet 200 huskies and puppies at a warm Arctic camp with cake.

“Honestly the best thing we did by far in Tromso. It was truly the best day. We had a minor mishap with the bus on the way and a replacement bus arrived in no time. The centre was incredible. You could tell how much they love their dogs and how well they are treated. We did a beautiful snowshoe walk with the dogs and were kept nice and warm with their snow boots and snow suits. We stopped half way for hot juice and cookies and swapped who was walking the dogs, so everyone had the chance to walk them. When we got back to the centre we learnt about…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 390 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $149Top rated

Guided early hike from Stavanger to Preikestolen, Pulpit Rock over Lysefjorden. Small group, hotel pickup, photos, and steep views.

“Erle was a superb guide! She shared a lot of interesting and useful background information not only regarding the scenic route but also on Norway’s history and culture. It made for a very enriching and enjoyable hike, boosted by a Norwegian hiking favourite — Kvikk Lunsj (the better version of Kit Kat!). Erle also made sure to take note of everyone’s pace and allowed for ample water breaks so that the way up and down was smooth-sailing. Hiking up to Pulpit Rock is incredible, especially when doing it with a group of lovely fellow travellers led by a wonderful guide without worrying about transportation and other logistics. Would highly recommend…”

“This was a magnificent day, were picked up at the cruise terminal by our guide Tore in his Mercedes Benz mini bus, transported to pulpit rock (approx 40 mins) then we were given a brief safety guide, and he also checked with the harbour master when the cruise ships were departing so he could guarantee to have you back in time. The hike up pulpit rock was very nice but it was very busy with people passing both ways. Tore was always on hand and let people do it at their own pace not as a group if reqd. We chatted with him a few times, his knowledge and experience…”

Stavanger winter hike to Preikestolen with a local guide, quiet views over Lysefjorden, and hot soup lunch at Villa Rosehagen.

“This was a 50th birthday treat to myself and it surpassed expectations. I was concerned about overall ability to do the hike beforehand even though I do walk a fair bit and go to the gym but the reassurance from the guide, Alan put me at ease. The hike is challenging no doubt but Alan clearly loves his job and talking to people, and knows the pathways incredibly well. He was able to make this an extra special experience and we were lucky not so many people so could grab classic photos. The lunch was very welcome afterwards but I am glad I personally took a guide as there’s some…”

“Dag (I hope I spelled his name right) is an exceptional tour guide. Very knowledgeable and patient. Pulpit Rock is rated Moderate and despite what you may read, this is a Moderate hike so be prepared. We had one tour member who could not complete the hike to the top and one who did but took longer than average to complete the hike. Dag was exceptional in making sure everyone was taken care of. Beautiful hike. Stunning views. I can't more highly recommend this Tour and experience.”

“Barca molto bella e comoda, Bellissimo giro sui fiordi. L'autobus di ritorno ha la stessa compagnia di quello dell'andata e bisogna chiedere informazioni sugli orari di ritorno all'autista. Nel nostro caso c'erano solo due orari, 16 o 18, noi siamo riusciti a prendere il primo. Il percorso del trekking è ben segnalato e impossibile sbagliare strada.”
