What To Expect
Aker Brygge
After a quick briefing, we’ll hop aboard an electric tram—"trikk," as the locals call it— and glide through the vibrant city streets 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!
Hovedoya
After just 10 minutes on an electric ferry, we’ll reach Hovedøya, an island where history and nature collide. Wander through the hauntingly beautiful ruins of a 12th-century monastery, explore scenic forest trails, and soak in stunning fjord views. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take a refreshing dip at one of Hovedøya’s tranquil beaches—just don’t forget your swimsuit!

Great way to get out of city and enjoy nature while learning about area

5.00Lin provided an excellent tour. We learned about the city, the islands and her personal experiences summering on one of the islands we visited. It is a lot of walking at a leisurely pace
Delightful

5.00This was a fun, inexpensive way to familiarize myself with the ferries and the islands. We had a small group and it was a relaxing charming way to spend the afternoon. Our guide was quite knowledgeable. Plus we got to keep the 24 hour city pass! A great deal all around.
Great Tour

5.00Awesome way to see 2 of their islands and learn their history. The tour guide was great as well. Be sure to pack a snack though while on the tour in case you get hungry.
It’s a hike around 2 small Islands… not what I thought it would be.

2.00This was not as it appeared to be at the time of booking unfortunately. I thought this was going to be a boat tour through some scenic fjords with minimal walking as we were traveling with our friends who have someone that has trouble walking, but nope. This was literally hop in a ferry, get off at an island, hike around the island, hop back in the ferry and go to 1 more island and repeat. The guide was nice and knowledgeable but the experience itself was a complete let down because it was such a different experience than what the description led you to believe it would be.

5.00Peter was an excellent guide who managed to keep us pretty dry on a very rainy day. Very informative
Disappointing very outsized price.

2.00Excessive price for walking tour and public ferry transfers with a simple zone 1 ticket. I do not recommend it at all, only 2 islands are visited. It is one thing that in Oslo it is all expensive and another thing is this very unconscionable price for walking walks, . I'm not saying it's a hoax because they don't promise much a priori, but I suggest looking for alternatives that offer better Service at much more reasonable prices.
Walking in the fjord.

5.00Non-committal excursion between the islands of the fjord. Thanks to a sunny day, our guide made us walk between 2 islands explaining local curiosities and customs. Numerous toilets available but no breaks anywhere to refresh yourself so get a snack before you leave. The guide speaks only English. You can also take a dip in the sea if you want. You don't need hiking shoes, just comfortable shoes. Thank you for the great experience.
Animal experience, which can easily be done on your own.

3.00We could just as well just bought a 24-hour ticket even for 132kr, and explored the islands at a pleasant pace. We were a small group of 4 pieces. It was told something by the guide, but had poor time on each island. Guide said that we could only be left on the islands we wanted ourselves, to get back on our own. We did, that was so much better. Then we had time for both swimming and a glass of wine on Gressholmen, before we took the boat ourselves to Nakholmen, also further back to Aker Brygge.
