Stavanger: Preikestolen Hidden Trail and Canoe Adventure｜Norway

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Step into an unforgettable day of adventure as you are collected from one of several convenient meeting points in Stavanger. En route, you will stop at Skafferiet to pick up a carefully prepared, packed lunch (dietary needs happily catered for). At Preikestolen Basecamp, you have time to prepare, use the facilities, and settle into the experience ahead before setting off.

From here, the journey becomes truly unique. Equipped with life vests and paddles, you walk down to the shores of Lake Revsvatnet. After a clear introduction to canoe safety, you paddle quietly across the lake, leaving the crowds behind. Reaching the far shore, you step onto land and follow a hidden, historic trail known only to a select few.

This rarely used route offers a sense of true exploration, far removed from the busy main paths. As the day unfolds, the landscape transforms around you—skirting the lake, weaving through deep forest, crossing soft wetlands, and rising into open alpine terrain. Each transition reveals new perspectives, culminating in breathtaking views stretching across the Lysefjord.

The hike is taken at a comfortable, considered pace, with plenty of time to adjust layers, enjoy water breaks, pause for photos, and savour your lunch in peaceful surroundings. After roughly three hours, you arrive at Preikestolen itself. Standing on the world-famous cliff edge, towering above the Lysefjord, the vast panorama before you delivers a powerful sense of achievement and awe.

Once you have had time to relax and absorb the moment, the return journey begins. The walk back to the parking area takes around two and a half hours, allowing time to reflect on the day’s highlights. As you settle back into the vehicle and head toward Stavanger, you carry with you the satisfaction of having experienced Preikestolen in a way few ever do!
