| 1. We want to see Lysefjord and walk to
Pulpit Rock - how long does it take? The two trips are quite separate, even though you can see the boats 604 metres below you from the rock (Preikestolen in Norwegian), and can look up on the rock from the boat. The Pulpit Rock hike is a full day, and Lysefjord boat trips are half a day or a full day - Find out more about Pulpit Rock and Lysefjord here |
|
| 2. How can we travel between Bergen and
Stavanger? There is a fast boat service (foot passengers only) that takes 4 hours called Flaggruten run by TIDE (previously called HSD), a regular coach service called Kystbussen that takes 4.5 - 5.5 hours, and domestic flights taking about 20 minutes. The quickest road for cars is the E 39, with undersea tunnels, bridges and ferries - it takes 5 or 6 hours - longer if the ferry queues are long. It is NOT possible to take the DFDS or Colorline car ferries - they take international traffic only - what a pity that Hurtigruten does not extend down to Stavanger. |
|
| 3. How do I get to Stavanger or Bergen
from my Ryanair flight to Haugesund? Kystbussen runs coaches to Stavanger and Bergen that meet the Ryanair flights - and it only costs 130 kroner to Stavanger and 180 kroner to Bergen |
|
| 4. Why don't you show hotels by star rating? At the moment there is no star rating for hotels in Norway, but it is being worked on. We will let you select based on star rating as soon as it is possible to do so. |
|
| 5. Why don't you let me select hotels based
on price range? Many of our hotels have a wide range of rooms and standards available, from single room to full suite, so it is not possible to put them into any one price category. |
|
| 6. Is it difficult to find hotel rooms in
Stavanger at the weekend? - I have heard the hotels are full You can usually find a lot of good deals on weekend breaks in Stavanger - there are plenty of available rooms. The summer season is also surprisingly good. It is true though that on many weekdays there are few if any rooms available. |
|
| 7. Do you have info on the Ålsheia
skisenter near Sinnes in Sirdal? Yes we do - Aalsheia skisenter can be spelt as Ålsheia or Aalsheia, but we have also seen people looking for Alsheia Alesia Asheie and Åhlsaia - it is the biggest ski resort in Sirdal, just two hours from Stavanger, whichever way you want to spell it! |
|
| 8. How do we get from Stavanger to
Haugesund? There is a fast boat service (foot passengers only) that takes about 1.5 hours called Flaggruten, run by TIDE (previously called HSD) and a regular coach service called Kystbussen that takes 2 hours. There is no direct flight. The quickest road for cars is the E 39, with undersea tunnels, bridges and ferries - it takes about 2 hours. You can also take the ferry from Mekjarvik (just north of Stavanger) to Skudeneshavn at the south end of Karmøy and take RV 47 to Haugesund (there is a bridge at the north end on Karmoy). It is NOT possible to go on the DFDS car ferry - it takes international traffic only. |
