Hovedoya

Your journey kicks off near Backstube Opera cafe right next to Oslo Central Station. 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 unforgettable island-hopping experience! In just 10 minutes, 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.
