Guided hike to Kjerag and Kjeragbolten
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
The fjord adventure would be incomplete without a guided trip to Kjerag bolt. The five cubic meter glacial deposit is mysteriously suspended between two rocks, with the location being a world of its own. It inspires to humbleness and gratitude for having been allowed the privilege to experience nature in its utmost purity, from the top of the world. Standing on the boulder itself is not for the faint of heart and visitors to Kjerag should be reminded that what this place has to offer is more than just an impressive boulder. Chances are you will be in awe of nature’s unmistakable beauty the entire trip, culminating with the breathtaking vistas over the Lysefjord. BASE jumpers challenge their limits on a regular basis from this majestic location and visitors may get the chance to see the “flying” daredevils in action.

Cannot recommend this tour for the following reasons. - One guest was not picked up at all and forgotten at her hotel, despite waiting at the front of her hotel at the bus stop. The company called our guide while the mini-bus was already on the motorway and had to turn back. This cost the group one hour. It seems the guide had no list of guests/names per location. - The guide played wih the SatNav a lot, telling us he didn't want to get lost and didn't know the way very well. Also mentioned that our tour was only his 5th. - After starting the hike trail, the guide had to return to the car because he'd forgotten the first-aid kit. - No information on local history/flora/fauna etc during the whole day - Seven of the eight members of the group completed the hike entirely alone because the guide accompanied one member of the group who took 2 hours longer to complete. This is broadly fine and can happen during every tour, but it is just not worth the money for the other 7 guests. - The end of our hike was followed by a 2 hour wait in the cold car, as the cafe was closed and we needed to wait on our guide and 8th guest to return. We arrived back in Stavanger at 10:30pm. - During the 3-hour drive home, the guide asked the group if they had Facebook or Instagram, which everyone avoided answering. He then asked one guest if she'd like to go hiking again with him some time (privately). Later, when parked directly outside her AirBnB, he asked her the same question again. I've paid for several guided hikes before and the high price often provides some local knowledge, hiking reassurance, and importantly, convenience. I cannot recommend this tour because it is so expensive and, while I did end up loving the day, everything I enjoyed was unrelated to the tour, e.g the views, hike, chats with locals. When I ask myself what the tour contributed, I can say I paid approx. €130 for an overpriced and unreliable taxi service and nothing more. Others on the tour had been messed around by the company on previous days, being told that tours were spontaneously rescheduled, but not receiving replacement tickets/schedules, and then not receiving answers to any correspondence. If you have a way to get to Kjerag by yourself, do that instead. The trail itself is very busy and well-marked so you won't get lost. Other hikers on the trail are helpful, chatty and friendly. You should DEFINITELY bring gloves because you will need to use the chains a lot. This is not comminicated well by the company and it was then necessary for half of our party to rent gloves before climbing (€10 per pair). As a hike, the views are stunning and I would absolutely do it again (independently).Benjamin B

My favorite trek in Norway, maybe the harder especially by rain (all our way to going there), very slippy but nice accommodation to help you for going there but it’s expensive, Absolutely stunning !

The guide Toa was really helpful for people from young to old. He even made good decisions; 1. let a lady give up in the first stage who were not prepared at all for the tough hike, 2. made it through successfully to the end for the other people in bad weather condition. トアという名のガイドさんは本当によくやってくれまし...

The guide was very very helpful. He took care everyone of the group and helped with the difficult steps. The hike would be more difficult without the guide.

We had really bad weather (so do not underestimate Norway weather conditions) but none the less the tour and the guide was great.
