Rainy Day Hike

5.00We had a great guide in a small sprinter van teach us about the area on the way up. He stayed with us during the hike and left no one behind. He even offered to take photos at the top. Johannes was a great guide even through our rainy hike.
Amazing day - it's a must

5.00What an amazing trip!! Our guide was lovely and the walk was at the pace of everybody on the trip - we stopped when needed and never felt rushed at any point. It was a lovely small group - 6 people. The walk was steep but the stops helped and the views were absolutely worth it. We arnt avid walkers so this will probably be easy for people who hike regularly but id say its suitable for most people. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our fjords cruise!

5.00Not an easy trek, but worth every minute of sweat. Highly recommend it. There were folks who turned around half way up and gave up, DON’T GIVE UP!!
The hike is worth the view!

5.00WOW - Stunning views when you finally get to the top! The hike is very steep and you should be in decent shape to take this on. When we started I thought this will level out at some point - Nope! But man, when you get to the top, it is so beautiful and peaceful. For the hike you can go your own pace so don't have to stick with the group. They also stop and get you lunch (and bottle water provided) (basically 3 different 1/2 sandwiches to try) that you can enjoy at the top with the views. This was a wonderful experience to do while we were in town on cruise port stop. Drive to get there was about 50 mins. I asked if they could drop us off in town (verses going back to ship) and they were happy to do so, that way we were able to check out a few shops before we had to walk back to ship (wasn't a close port).

4.00I am not an expert and normally hike about 2 times a month. For me, hiking shoes and polls were essential. The view was breathtaking!

5.00We had a fantastic experience on this hike. The group was a little larger than anticipated, with several buses meeting at the refreshment stop, but ultimately each group spread out along the trail and there were certainly no crowds. Two of us had ordered gluten free meals, and been assured that wouldn't have been a problem. However, despite celiacs on the other buses receiving their meals, we did not get ours which was disappointing - though we never travel without snacks! A fantastic day, weather wise, meant we had stunning views the whole time we were hiking. Our guide was friendly, attentive and informative, and spent time with each member of the group, ensuring at all times that nobody was too far ahead or left behind. This was a fairly steep hike from the outset and requires a certain level of fitness (Norwegians are fitter than many North Americans) but was well worth it for the views. Other guides at the top were assisting with getting the best possible photos, which ours didn't do, but if we'd been solo travellers he may well have offered that service too.
Worthwhile trip that...

5.00Worthwhile trip that doesn’t take too much out of your day. Still a couple hours left to explore Haugesund before boarding the cruise. Although could have spent more time out on the top, beautiful views! The hike up is a little steep, so wear good shoes. The alternate route down the hill through the forest is a must! It starts right after the second gate on the way down. Potentially could have included it as part of the way up. Great job Howard!
Efficient pick up, great tour guide, clean van, beautiful hike. Nothing negative .

5.00Great chance to escape shopping and to go inland. Hike is steep, but short. Take your time - it is worth it
Lovely, peaceful walk with stunning views at the top

5.00An excellent tour - really enjoyed Elizabeth's commentary on the journey there and back. Walk, although uphill, was an wide graveled paths and suitable to all with reasonable fitness. Fantastic views throughout and wonderful photos at the top. The picnic lunch was good too. Thoroughly recommend - nice to get away from the cruise ship herds! Small group size a bonus
Great tour guide !
