Can I trust Pulpit Rock ferry/bus timetables?????

[GeneBK]

I am on an upcoming cruise, which is stopping in Stavanger for nine hours (eight and a half hours passenger time off ship). Based on the ferry/bus schedules, I can in theory attempt to go up to Pulpit Rock, with 4:45 on foot for the roundtrip hike (I am experienced and energetic). That would put me back in Stavanger 40 minutes before “all aboard”.

 

My concern is the consistency of the ferries and buses to be on schedule. (IF this trip depended on regional jets flying through Newark, I’d forget about it instantly. High probability of delays. If it depended on Swiss trains, I’d feel comfortable.)

 

Can I trust the schedules to be followed “like clockwork”?

 

Thanks

They are reasonably on time. Maybe five minutes off here and there, but 40 minutes should give you plenty of buffer.
