Our Guides

  Booked 2 hikes with Outdoorlife Norway (Kjerag Summer Hike and Preikestolen Off the Beaten Track-Sunrise), the Flørli 4444 hike was fully booked so I couldn't do it with them. I... read more did both hikes with Erlend, a professional guide and photographer, who also holds a Masters in Biology.

I really enjoyed both hiked, I would have given more than 5 stars if that was possible!

If I could sum up the 3 reasons why it's a great choice to book with them, those would be:
1- Photography: the photos our guide took were stunning, way better than the ones we would have taken ourselves
2- Fauna and Flora: our guide knew everything about the animals, insects, plants, flowers, fruits we came across during our hikes and brilliantly answered all our questions
3- Professionalism: this company is very professional (Top 1 in the Stavanger area), always responsive and punctual. Everything went smoothly from the booking until the end of the hike. Our guide was super comprehensive, empathetic and flexible. He adapted the pace of the hikes according to our physical capabilities and managed to keep a really nice atmosphere during and after the hikes. Overall, you can tell he really loves what he does.

Erland, Thanks again for these amazing experiences! Hope we meet again in the future 🙂

  A great experience from pick up to drop off, friendly knowledgable amazing guide, couldn’t ask for more, definitely recommend

  I organized my trip to Norway around the hikes I wanted to do. After researching companies, I ran into Outdoor Life Norway on Instagram and the first thing that caught... read more my attention was the good pictures they have. I love photography and that was such an important factor to take my decision. Also, their website is well organized and all relevant information is available.

As I travelled during the pandemic, I appreciated very much their flexibility around cancellation or change in the dates. I interacted a lot with them via e-mail to discuss details and all my questions were answered quickly and clearly.

I did my hike with Fabrizio and it was super fun! He knows a lot about the region and he is very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. And also very attentive to details and always ready to offer the best advice along the hike. So not only fun, the hike was very safe from my perspective.

I do hikes from time to time in different countries and I always appreciate guides who are full of energy as if they were doing it for the first time, even though in reality they do it a few times per week for instance. Fabrizio has that kind of energy that I appreciate and it made a huge difference in my Kjerag day.

Thank you so much for everything! Keep rocking, guys!

  We really enjoyed our sunrise tour and can only recommend it! The team around Johannes is super friendly and helpful and all in all it was a wonderful experience!

  Last month I finally found a perfect weekend for attempting the Pulpit Rocket. As a total novice in hiking, I decided to book a hike with Outdoorlife Norway for the... read more following day. After having received a confirmation from the organizer I booked a flight and hotel and went to the airport. I then received a mail from the organizer saying that due to a clerical error I should not have been able to book this tour. 30 minutes later another mail confirmed that the tour was booked, and they would pick me up at my hotel the following morning. Then yet another mail saying that no there was no trip, by now I have arrived in Stavanger. Outdoorlife Norway offered me the money back or a different tour that started at 3.15 am. I have never hiked or climbed anything, so my first time was not going to be in darkness, therefore I chose the money back. The following day I took the normal bus to The Pulpit Rocket and climbed on my own during the daytime. Don’t get me wrong the hike is fantastic, and I am sure that the people that work for Outdoorlife Norway are really good when they do their hikes. However, my advice is to save your money and do it on your own as it is a fairly easy hike as far as hikes go.

  The Sunrise Hike to Preikestolen was a great experience. I had amazing views during all the hike. And we had plenty of time on the top to enjoy the sunrise.... read more I also recommend the photo package. Our guide Erlend is very friendly, helpful and also a great photographer. He also know a lot about the nature of the area. I fully recommend this tour, which also allows you to avoid the crowds.

  Guide Erlend was fantastic in helping out and showing us the sights. Probably one of the best tours I've ever done overall. No complaints at all. Just too amazing.

  Visited the famous Preikestolen and Kjerag with the Outdoorlife. This tour company is very professional. The two guides Sol and Hilde are very polite serious and professionals. Told us many... read more informations for the two famous rocks and for the Norwegian nature. Helped me to hiking. Helped to feel the nature. Grazie!

  This is the second time i hiked with Outdoorlifenorway and they proved once again that they are the best at what they do.We had a fantastic experience with our guide... read more Fabrizio who made sure the whole hike was enjoyable. Actually there were hardly any people when we reached Kjeragbolten. I would rate it 10/10 and recommend all to take the Kjerag- Beat the crowd hike with Outdoorlifenorway since its full value for money and the pictures were super amazing.

  I would highly recommend booking hiking tours with Outdoorlife Norway if you're looking for unique guided hiking experiences outside of the often crowded beaten tracks to popular destinations such as... read more Preikestolen. I had the great pleasure of going on the "Preikestolen - off the beaten track" tour with their guide Sal who was engaging, informative and attentive all the way. The brilliant combination of canoeing, challenging tracks and climbs with varied stunning views made the trip quite special. I could not have asked for a better guide or hike to Preikestolen!

  So many great spots and we didn’t meet any other group of people. A perfect day with Sal as the best guide you could get, so good to give everybody... read more in the group attention and sensing how to motivate everybody

  We had booked a sunrise hike and turned out to be the only ones for that day.

Our guide Sal was great and we had a fantastic experience!... read more The weather was not great and we didn’t see the sunrise, but it didn’t take anything away from our experience at all!

It was amazing to walk in the dark and use other senses that your sight - once we got to Preikestolen, we had it all to ourselves and I think that’s a little unusual, but it gave us some great photos!

We cannot recommend this trip enough - I know it’s early, but it affords a unique experience for sure!
