Please note that from Apr-Aug this tour is 4-4.5 hours long and we visit 3 islands. From Sep-Mar, this tour is 3-3.5 hours and we visit 2 or 3 islands depending on the weather and the boat schedule.

Discover the majestic islands of the Oslofjord, hopping on and off ferries to hike the forests, cliffs, charming villages and historic sites of 2-3 islands (season dependant). With a local guide, explore the ruins of a 900 year old abbey, picnic on a cosy beach (Oct-Mar, a small stop with hot drinks will be provided) and stroll through a village of colourful wooden cabins and flower-lined paths. The stunning views of Oslo and its hills provide a scenic backdrop, with photo spots at every turn. Don't forget a swim suit in the Summer months to bathe in the surprisingly warm waters of the Oslo fjord! Time for a picnic is included and participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Good walking shoes or trail shoes are recommended as the hiking is done on dirt paths, gravel and stones.

    Very informative tour with insight into things that you certainly won't otherwise experience. As always in Norway, the price is of course quite high...

  • A guide on the island adds so much more to the visit !

    Patrick (Hovedoya) and Jon (Lindoya) both did a great job ! I also bought a 24 hour ferry ticket so then explored Gressholmen on my own.

  • Wonderful day walking...

    This was a great excursion. We met by the ferry boat and went to the first island and explored the monastery ruins and walked more. Then took the ferry to another island which had cute little houses. Ate lunch (which we brought) by a lovely fjord and explored more. Patrick the guide was great! Lovely views of Oslo from the islands. Perfect day!

  • Good experience visiting...

    Good experience visiting different islands and experiencing quite different activities. But if you have limited time in oslo, there are better things to do.
