Tour description
Go on a scenic island-hopping adventure on the Oslofjord using the city's all-electric public ferries, just like the locals. A guide meets you at the dock and stays with you throughout, so there's no worrying about which boat to board.
Discover a quieter, more natural side of Oslo as you cruise across the open waters. On a series of short, peaceful crossings between stops, take in wide views of the islands and charming seaside cabins with hills in the background.
Step ashore on two unique islands, each full of character and rich in history and natural beauty. On one, wander coastal paths through forests, meadows, and past quiet beaches while your guide shares fascinating stories of human activity here spanning more than 1000 years. Learn how the island's landscape and resources have shaped local traditions over time.
Dive into Norway's cabin culture among colorful wooden cottages and blooming gardens, where these simple retreats have long been a place to slow down.
Along the way, your guide leads you to viewpoints that are perfect for pausing, snapping photos, or simply enjoying the moment.
Cruise back into the city by ferry with front-row views of Oslo's waterfront, including the lively harbor of Aker Brygge.
This Island Hopping tour is a perfect way to spend a summer's day in Oslo!
