Summary:
An absolute must do if visiting Stavanger.
Fernando was an amazing host who went the extra mile to make the journey from our cruise liner to the heliport and back special, stopping off at 2 or 3 spectacular viewpoints for photo shoots.
The helicopter flight was awesome and the best way to see Pulpit Rock by a long mile.
Would definitely book with Active Norway again.
