Taking the day trip from Stavanger to Pulpit Rock was the highlight of our trip while cruising…read morethrough Norway. We took the Boreal bus tour that takes you directly to the trail base ant takes about 50 minutes each way. The trail is well maintained and offers beautiful views of the mountains and Fjiords around the area. It took us about 4 hours to hike round trip with some breaks in between but not a lot of extra time for a picnic or longer breaks. It gets a little crowded on the top and there is a huge line for the iconic top of the rock photo, but it was very organized . Cannot recommend it enough!

We stopped in Stavanger as part of a cruise and decided to venture out of the city to Pulpit Rock…read more We took a bus from Stavanger (booked in advance) to the Pulpit Rock trailhead, about a 1 hour drive. The hike was about 3 hours round trip, mostly uphill on the way there and downhill on the way back. The views at the top of the trail are spectacular. I highly recommend visiting here and doing the hike if you're able to - it's a beautiful spot to visit.
