“Wow! What an amazing experience, I am so so happy I did this! My tour guide was great, the views were incredible and the trip was well organized but most importantly, I felt safe. I will warn you, if you have bad knees this could be a very very very difficult hike for you, especially on the way down. I am in my 30s and my knees spasmed at the end - I've never had that happen but my years of soccer caught up to me on this hike! If you're out of shape this will be tough, but not impossible just take breaks. My iPhone said I climbed 143…”

“I absolutely loved the Pulpit Rock guided hike! Teodor is a very Knowledgeable and Fun Guide who made this day trip extremely memorable for all of us! Even though the weather wasn’t at its sunniest best, Teodor made sure we discovered the joy of hiking by taking lesser known (and hence tourist free!) routes along the trail and engage in some fun berry hunting! Thankyou Teodor for giving us memories for a lifetime :) Absolutely Recommend this hike to all !”

Ride from Olden cruise pier through the Olden Valley, then hike roughly 45 to 60 minutes each way toward Briksdal Glacier. You’ll see waterfalls, meltwater streams, Olden Lake, and snow-capped peaks. Guides such as Sam, Anna, Alyssa, and Elisabet have led recent departures, with English commentary and a cruise-friendly return plan.

“The bus company picked us up right next to the cruise ship. Coach was very comfortable with an excellent driver. The guide was delightful and her narrative was full of interesting facts and thoughts. The scenery was absolutely stunning the whole way to the Briksdal Glacier. The walk to the Glacier is on a really well formed and wide track with a few stone steps here and there. Although quite uphill in places, there was plenty of time to pace yourself and the walk is well worth the effort. you want to stop often anyway and take lots of photos. Take your raincoat even on a fine day as one…”
