Sunrise hike-A hike that always be remembered ! - It was an amazing experience and I want to share it with all the people that are thinking to do this hike.Please do not hesitate to book the Preikestolen hike with Explore Lysefjorden!!! We were a small group of people that wanted to do the sunrise hike.They came to pick us up exactly on time ,we had a car ride for about 40 minutes and our guide Erlend was extremely friendly and made us all feel comfortable.He has an amazing dog that followed as through the hike and we all loved him!His nickname is Baba. The sunrise hike is amazing because it feels more mysterious and calm at the same time and the scenery changes hour by hour.We had head lamps that helped us during the first hour of hiking but to be honest after that we didn’t use them at all.As you go through the colours of the scenery around you are amazing and Erlend took some beautiful photos for us.Finally when we reached the Preikestolen it was the time that the sun was rising so we saw all this beauty from the beginning and Erlend gave us snacks and hot berry juice that we really enjoyed!We took breath taking pictures ,we saw a marriage proposal ,enjoy the morning sun with the few people that were there at that time (that’s another privilege of the sunrise hike )and started to go back.We enjoy the nature with the morning light and we had a delicious breakfast provided with the hike at the Preikestolen base Camp with an amazing view at the fjord! It was an experience that I will always remember and I thank Erlend ,Baba and Explore Lysefjorden for that.It was my second hike (first was reinebringen but I find Preikestolen more easy and interesting ) SUNRISE HIKE IS THE BEST!Weather makes a big impact to the hike as well!We were extremely lucky with that!So check the weather forecast and if you have time and days to spend choose the best weather option . Enjoy hiking in Norway because is the best!

Wonderful experience, beautiful hike! - Wonderful experience, beautiful hike, loved it!! We were there almost on our own (with the guide! And no one else) Then we went back via a different trail, a mountain trail, it was a true hike experience with amazing views and magical sunrise! And a Great breakfast after the effort of an early rise and hike. Thank you!

Top 10 Life Experience! - The Sunrise Hike to Pulpit Rock was an incredible experience. Erlend and his dog, Balder, were the best guides. While the hike can be done without a guide, so much would have been missed without Erlend’s expertise. Also, there’s something so very special about hiking with a dog - Balder brought so much joy to the day. Erlend was attentive to our capabilities and went out of the way to take many gorgeous pictures - two which are attached to this review. Of course, it helped that the weather was on our side, but even without perfect conditions, the view would have still been a stunner. We were allowed all the time we desired to absorb the beauty of the sunrise. After the hike, we visited a local bakery for the most delicious meal. The bread in Norway is out of this world. I highly recommend doing this specific tour. Definitely in my top 10 experiences!

Awesome hike, great company and stunning views! - This trip was incredible and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go. Erlend is an amazing, friendly and knowledgable local guide. His dog is adorable and made the trip even better. The trip was very well organised; and I was catered for at breakfast as a coeliac (gluten free) without any hassle.

A MUST DO! Perfect start to the day! - The experience was really awesome. The pickup was sharply on time. Hege knows everything about hiking in that area and was accommodating to all of our different needs. I was deciding between this sunrise tour and the normal daytime one and I'm happy to report that the sunrise one is the BEST decision. You arrive when noone is there yet and got time to leisurely enjoy the view and take as many photos as you want. No waiting in line. It was so peaceful and incredible. The view is absolutely stunning, as gorgeous as the photos appear or even better. The hike was pretty easy and I estimate if hiking alone you could do it in 1.5-2hr since it's only 4km each way and low elevation. I did it on the first week of October and once you arrived at breakfast they already started to clear everything up since it's a little late so you get a sandwich instead of the proper buffet breakfast - but honestly the sandwich was surprisingly so good - i think it must be even better than having the generic breakfast spread that you'll get if you do the tour in the summer! Overall, highly recommend!

You need to try it! - Hiking in the dark with a torch towards the brightening sky was magical! With each overcome hill, more and more beauties of local landscapes opened up around us. And, most importantly, without any crowds of tourists striving to fill all the free space. We were able to fully appreciate it, having already descended, watching the caravans of people starting their ascent.

So worth going at this time to miss the crowds. - Would love to have given it 5 stars but unfortunately we were given the incorrect meeting time so that didn’t set us up for a great start. All correspondence said 12am but really it should have been 1.10am. Apart from that the hike was great, our guide was excellent, didn’t get our sunrise but felt fortunate to have views. Loved having the rock to ourselves and got some awesome pictures!!
