Itinerary
After a quick briefing, we will walk down to Aker Brygge, Oslo’s buzzing waterfront district. With its trendy restaurants, stylish shops, and breath-taking views of the Oslo Fjord, it’s the perfect launch point for our adventure!
After just 15 minutes on an electric ferry, we’ll reach the first island, filled with nature and beautiful scenery. Wander through the island paradise while your guide tells you about Norwegian culture and nature, all while soaking in stunning fjord views. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take a refreshing dip at one of the tranquil beaches—just don’t forget your swimsuit!
Next, we’ll ferry over to explore a charming island known for its picturesque coastal cottages—a beloved weekend retreat for Oslo locals. As we cruise past several other islands, you’ll get a glimpse of authentic Norwegian island life, where colorful cabins line the shores and locals embrace the slow, scenic pace of the fjord.
After soaking up the island charm, we’ll board our ferry back to Aker Brygge, giving you one last chance to marvel at the beauty of the Oslo Fjord. Back on land, you can choose to stay to explore the vibrant waterfront district, or wrap up this adventure with a smooth tram ride back to the city center with your guide. This is the ultimate way to experience Oslo’s island paradise, rich history, and stunning nature, all in one incredible trip. Pack your swimsuit, grab your camera, and get ready for an experience you’ll be talking about long after you leave Norway!

5Such a fun experience,...
Such a fun experience, easy walks around the island and a super friendly and knowledgeable guide! The break on the boat between islands was so nice!
5A fun day!
We loved our island hopping tour! Our guide Miles was informative and fun. We learned more about the Norwegian history and culture. Would recommend this!
5Beautiful late summer tour
Very interesting and fascinating day. We were blessed with decent weather and our guide was very informative and helpful. We went to 2 islands, first stopping at the large Hovedøya which is uninhabited but is popular in the summer but has a very interesting history. Then we stopped off at the stunning Nakholmen which is inhabited and dotted with lots of small colourful little houses and beautiful views. A wonderful tour and really fascinating
5Island excursion
The tour uses the ferry very efficiently Peter gives a detailed tour of both islands with a minimal wait time for the ferry. The islands are unique with great views
5Nice way to see a very different Oslo
Visit 2 islands via public ferry. Tour is more a hiking tour than a boat tour so be aware. But very nice way of seeing 2 local islands where Norwegians relax. A wonderful visit showing a very different part of Oslo. And the 2 guides (I forget their names) were very friendly.
1Couldn’t get to the...
Couldn’t get to the meeting point on time as we were told that it would take 15 minutes to get there from the ship, but it actually took 30 minutes.

About Oslo
Oslo is Norway's capital at the head of the Oslofjord, a green city of sculpture, Viking ships, polar-ship museums, an opera house and forests for skiing.
Oslo sits at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills and dotted with islands, and it is one of Europe's greenest capitals. The waterfront has the Opera House, a white marble building with a sloping roof that visitors can walk on, and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle above the harbour. City Hall, a brick building with large murals, is where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.
