What to expect

Your adventure begins at a tour centre in Oslo, where a knowledgeable guide will greet you. From this point, you'll board an electric tram, or "trikk" as the locals fondly refer to it, and glide through the lively city streets towards Aker Brygge. This bustling waterfront district, with its fashionable restaurants, chic boutiques, and awe-inspiring views of the Oslo Fjord, serves as the ideal starting point for your unforgettable island-hopping journey.

A brief 10-minute ride on an electric ferry transports you to Hovedøya, an island where history and nature beautifully intertwine. Meander through the magnificent ruins of a 12th-century monastery, traverse scenic forest paths, and admire the spectacular fjord vistas. If you're up for a bit of excitement, why not take a refreshing dip at one of Hovedøya’s serene beaches? Just remember to pack your swimming gear.

Next on the itinerary is Nakholmen, a delightful island renowned for its picture-perfect coastal cottages. As your ferry glides past several other islands, you'll catch a glimpse of authentic Norwegian island life, complete with colourful cabins dotting the shores, and locals savouring the leisurely, scenic pace of the fjord.

After soaking up Nakholmen’s charm, board the ferry back to Aker Brygge and enjoy one last chance to marvel at the beauty of the Oslo Fjord before hopping back on the tram for a smooth ride to Jernbanetorget.
