A Pleasant Bit of Adventure - Wonderful day trip without the crowds! A couple of preparation notes: Bring proper hiking boots with good grip on the soles. This hike is not a nature stroll. Hiker must be comfortable with rocky and uneven footing. Also must be comfortable with inclines and descents over stone using the chains and ladders provided on the trail. Don't stop at the beautiful falls! Keep going to the Mån farm; it's picture perfect! The hearty Norwegian lunch I ordered (meat patties with potatoes, carrots, and lingonberry jam) is perfect after the hike (the other options on the menu, including gluten-free options, were also tempting). The candle factory and the grounds are very pleasant to walk around (say hello to the goats!). The candle shop has better gift and souvenir options than the typical tourist shop. The geopark visit at the end rounds out a perfect outdoor day trip. My guide, Sean, was welcoming and hospitable; picked me up from and dropped me off at my hotel. Sean was very knowledgeable of the area and its history and happy to answer any questions I had. Highly recommend this tour!

Tour was fantastic and uncrowded with an incredibly knowledgeable guide Sean who took us from hiking to eating local food to bouldering all the whole weaving local history into the tour. Highly recommend!

Sean is your guy. - I arrived to Stavanger to hike with my mum, her once-in-a-lifetime adventure to see the fjords. Our day trip to Manafossen was our first in a line of trips scheduled in for the week. Sean was very reassuring in his messages and quick to respond before the day, he arrived right on time to pick us up from our hotel and we immediately settled into his confident and kind vibe. We are unexperienced hikers but with Sean's careful and patient guidance we managed to do our first short climb while having a laugh in the pouring rain - something mum was dreading! The view of the waterfall was absolutely breathtaking. Sean also took us to a viewpoint, to the geopark and to a local restaurant with authentic, delicious, locally sourced food, while telling us stories and anecdotes (both personal and folklore!) His love and dedication for the landscape and the wildlife is a beautiful thing to witness and tagging along someone who genuinely enjoys sharing the experience is unbeatable. We ended up rearranging our schedule and booked another private trip with him, where he took us deep into the wilderness, completely isolated from the "touristy" spots. He knew our physical fitness by then and he tailored the trip to match it perfectly. We climbed a hill with a view of Stavanger from above and the entrance of 2 fjords - having lunch there with him translating the hikers' rules printed on the inside of the wrapping of Kvikk Lunsj, with the stunning view all around and his pup wagging his tail happily under our feet will be a momemt both mum amd I will cherish for long years to come.

Great day out! - This was a wonderful day trip from Stavanger. Sean's knowledge of the region, stories, and love of nature made this trip memorable. The trail was one I do not think I would have tried on my own and he patiently helped me navigate it. Note that it is not a long trail but it is steeper than anything I normally do. During the hike he pointed out various plants and views, making it even more interesting. The stop at the fjord on the way out from Stafanger and at the geopark on the way back, along with a delicious lunch definitely added to the trip. I will definitely book with Sean and his company Fjord Hikes again the next time we are in the area.

Premium Trip to Pulpit Rock - Preikestolen - Highly recommend a premium trip, I did the Pulpit Rock with Fjord Hikes and we went off the beaten track that only the Professional Guides know, avoided the crowds and had the most amazing scenery and botanical insight to the Fjord landscape. 5🌟
