You step from Stavanger's harbor into the low hum of a fjord ferry, salt spray stinging the back of your neck as cliffs loom like old gods rising from glassy water. The boat threads Lysefjorden, and waterfalls dare you to count their rivulets. By evening the group slips ashore at a fjordside farmhouse — Bakken Gård — where a wood stove warms damp boots and a shared dinner of reindeer pizza tastes of place and patience.

Good aerobic fitness and steady hiking experience; comfortable walking 10–15 km with elevation gain.
The tour includes the Lysefjorden cruise, transfers, one night at Bakken Gård farmhouse (shared), breakfast, lunch, dinner on the itinerary days, a guided hike, and pickup from selected Stavanger hotels.
The guided route covers about 12 km with roughly 600 meters of ascent; it’s physically demanding but non-technical and suitable for hikers with moderate to good fitness.
Accommodation is in a traditional farmhouse and is shared; expect communal sleeping arrangements and shared facilities.
The fjord is cold year-round but some travelers swim in summer; be cautious of currents and cold-water shock and check with your guide before entering.
The operator may cancel for bad weather; see the policy: full refund if you cancel at least 6 days ahead, 50% between 2–6 days, and no refund within 2 days.
This tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers and may be challenging for young children due to terrain and the physical demands of the hike.
The Lysefjorden region was shaped by glacial carving and sustained by small mountain farms that moved livestock seasonally; many trails follow routes used for centuries.
Visitors are asked to follow leave-no-trace principles, stick to durable surfaces to prevent erosion, and respect private farmland and grazing livestock.
Fjord Hikes operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
