Island-Hopping Ferry Boat Tour around Oslo

Embark on a wonderful adventure in the Oslo Fjord and learn about the history, culture, and landscapes of the Norwegian capital on this amazing island-hopping ferry boat tour around Oslo! The Oslofjordis a 120-kilometre fjord in southeastern Norway, which stretches up to the country's capital. With over 40 islands populating its waters, the Oslo Fjord is a Natural wonder worthy of a visit if you pass by Oslo. During the tour, you'll visit Hovedøya, known for its forests, beaches, and 12th-century monastery, and Nakholmen, which mostly serves as a vacation and weekend destination for Oslo's residents.

On the day of your island-hopping ferry boat tour around the Oslo fjord, you'll need to arrive at the meeting point in the When In Norway Oslo office. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will confirm your identity and give you a quick safety and itinerary briefing, so you know how the activity will work and what to do to have a great time. Next, you'll take a tram or "trikk" toward the beautiful Aker Brygge neighbourhood, where you'll enjoy the lively waterfront atmosphere for a moment before heading to the ferry.

Once it's time, you'll hop on the 100% electric ferry and start the adventure! After about 10 minutes of sailing, you'll reach Hovedøya and disembark the ferry. You'll get to explore the ruins and buildings of a 12th-century medieval monastery, where you'll learn about the island's history. You'll also get to explore the island's natural trails, which pass through beautiful forests and reach one of the beautiful beaches of Hovedøya to take a dip in the water if you wish to. You'll return to the ferry and spend around 25 minutes travelling toward Nakholmen. There, you'll get to feel the vacation atmosphere, since the island has over 180 picturesque coastal cottages where people from Oslo come to spend weekends or full vacation periods. You'll return to Oslo with stunning views of the fjord as you ride the ferry for another 20 minutes. Finally, the experience will end exactly where it started, and you'll say goodbye to your expert instructor to continue your day in the beautiful Norwegian capital.

Don't forget to bring comfortable clothes and shoes to the experience, and always keep a jumper or jacket in hand to keep you safe from Oslo's Nordic air. You should also think about bringing water and snacks (and more food if you want to), since the islands have certain food stands and restaurants, but they are not always open and your instructor can't guarantee that you'll be able to buy food on-site. Finally, if you want to swim during this wonderful 4-hour island-hopping tour in the Oslo Fjord, you should know how to do so and bring your own swimsuit on the tour.
