Explore Oslo’s fjord islands on a guided island-hopping tour and discover a quieter, more natural side of the city. Travel across the Oslofjord by public ferry and enjoy fresh sea air, calm water views, green islands, and beautiful coastal scenery.
During the tour, you will visit two different fjord islands, each with its own atmosphere. One part of the tour takes you close to nature, with easy walking paths, forest areas, open coastlines, quiet beaches, and scenic viewpoints. Another part shows Oslo’s local summer island life, with traditional wooden cottages, colorful gardens, small beaches, and a relaxed island atmosphere.
Your guide will share stories and local insights about the islands, nature, history, and everyday life around the Oslofjord.
You will also have the opportunity to enjoy your own picnic lunch outdoors, and on warm days there may be a chance to swim in the fjord.
Return to Oslo by ferry with beautiful views of the waterfront, Akershus Fortress, Oslo City Hall.

Excellent excursion!!

5.00This was an excellent excursion! Our guides, “M,” Evan and Roy (such a good boy) were very organized, friendly and informative. We appreciated the history of the islands and especially enjoyed the opportunity to sit and enjoy the gorgeous view and have a snack at the end. I would highly recommend this tour!! Make sure to read ALL their instructions on when and where to meet - the time to meet the guide on the pier was forty five minutes before start time. It might be helpful for the tour company to make that information more prominent.

1.00According to the street address provided by the tour operator, this tour meets in a large plaza near the ferry docks in Oslo. The only other instructions were to meet someone in a blue vest. On a sunny Sunday morning, there were lots of people in the area, and other tours meeting to go on the ferry. Despite arriving early, and searching the plaza, we could not find the guide and missed the tour. If you decide to book this tour, insist on more detailed directions on where to meet so you don't have the same experience we did. Sorry to give a tour we missed just one "star" but I have no basis for rating a tour we missed.
So bad

5.00Really nice trip! I would advise to get lunch on the third island instead of the second since there's a lovely full restaurant while on the second it's just a little shop
Very good
