Itinerary
Oslo is beautifully situated at the head of the Oslo Fjord and the best way to appreciate its beauty is on a relaxing sightseeing cruise. On this three hour tour, discover the scenery the way Norwegians prefer, on a powerboat. You’ll sail past numerous islands, including Hovedøya and the Dyna Lighthouse, through narrow inlets and into sheltered bays so that you can capture the capital on camera from different angles. We can also tailor the tour to any wishes or ideas you might have!
Iconic Landmarks: Get a front-row seat to Oslo's iconic landmarks from the water. Capture stunning views of the Oslo Opera House, Akershus Fortress, and the striking Barcode skyline, offering a fresh perspective on the city's architectural wonders.
Scenic Islands: Explore the fjord's idyllic islands, each with its own unique culture and charm. You'll discover secluded coves, and all the favourite areas citizens in Oslo tend to swim and vacation during summer.
We'll cruise around beautiful Ormøya, under Ormsund bridge and into Paddehavet, to see Nordstrand, Ulvøya and the some of the best seaside real estate Oslo has to offer from the sea.
We'll pop by the entrance to Bunnefjorden, giving us an opportunity to watch the life on the bird sanctuaries of Skjælsholmene. Then we'll get our speed up as we cruise out into the Oslofjord again.
These beautiful historical islands at the entrance of the Oslofjord are steeped in history. Our guide will tell you all about it.
Middagsbukta is an extremely popular anchoring and swimming spot where you can experience local life on the water. People come here with all kind of boats to play music, dance, picnic, swim and more.
Get closer than anyone else can bring you to the beautiful Dyna Lighthouse. If you're hungry we can even stop at one of the nearby restaurants that are only accessible by boat.

Without a doubt, one of the best experiences we had in Oslo. The trip through the fjord was simply wonderful: the boat, the views, the atmosphere, and every detail made it a truly special afternoon. But what made the experience even better was our captain. From the first moment, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and fun. Furthermore, he speaks Spanish perfectly, which was a great surprise for us and made us feel even more comfortable. He explained many things to us, we chatted throughout the entire trip, and in the end, we felt that not only had we had an excellent captain, but we had made a new friend in Oslo. ❤️ We were able to relax, have a drink, enjoy the scenery, and get to know the fjord in a much more private and special way. We never felt like it was just “a tour”; it felt like spending an incredible afternoon sailing with a friend who knows Oslo perfectly and wants you to enjoy every moment. 100% recommended. If we return to Oslo, we would definitely do it again. Thank you for giving us one of the most beautiful memories of our trip through Norway. 🇳🇴🥂✨
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable day — and the perfect place to propose Without a doubt, this was one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences of our entire trip to Norway. We spent six incredible hours exploring the Oslo Fjord on a beautiful private boat. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the boat was perfect, and our captain took us to some truly spectacular places that we would have never discovered on our own. But this day became even more special for us because this was the day I proposed to my girlfriend, Jenny. Choosing to propose to her during this private boat trip through the fjords was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I honestly could not have imagined a more beautiful setting for such an important moment in our lives. Surrounded by the incredible Norwegian scenery, on the water, with complete privacy and such a peaceful atmosphere, everything felt absolutely perfect. It is a moment we will remember for the rest of our lives. And a huge part of what made the experience so special was our captain. From the very beginning, he made us feel completely welcome and comfortable. He was not only an excellent captain and guide, but also genuinely wonderful company. We had great conversations throughout the day, he shared stories and local knowledge with us, showed us beautiful hidden places, and made the entire experience feel personal rather than simply another tourist excursion. By the end of the six hours, it honestly felt like we had spent the day exploring the fjords with a friend. The boat was beautiful, the views were spectacular, the tour was incredible, and the captain was a 10/10. If you are visiting Oslo and looking for a private and truly memorable experience on the fjord, I cannot recommend this enough. And if you are considering doing something special — an anniversary, a celebration, or even proposing to the person you love — I cannot imagine a better place or a better experience to do it. Thank you for being part of one of the most important and happiest days of our lives. We will never forget it, and we hope to come back and see you again someday!
This was an excellent three-hour cruise through parts of the Oslo Fjord. It included a stop for a swim plus great views of the landscape. Our guide and captain, Simon, was pleasant, informative and competent. I would recommend this trip highly.
We had an amazing day on the water with Simon!! The boat was just beautiful and Simon was super knowledgeable about the area and history of Norway! He took us to a wonderful cove for swimming and even picked us up at a super convenient dock near our home! Highly recommend Simon and his company for a 5 star experience!!!
It was great! Sunny day and calm sea. We took the 6 a.m. trip. After a tour in the fjord near Oslo, we sailed to Drøbak to make a quick shopping stop at Santa's house 🎅🏻 and then had a meal at Haøaja. To try the goat/Halloumi burger 😋😋😋 We decided not to make any stops for swimming to prioritize exploring, but that was our choice. That's what's cool, the program isn't set in stone. Simon is passionate and he gave us plenty of explanations about Norway and its history, the fjord, and the Vikings. Super interesting, and the best part is that he spoke French very well. If you want quality explanations, a chill outing with family and/or as a couple on a magnificent boat, you are in the right place.
This was by far the highlight of our trip! Are was a knowledgeable captain and host. The boat and scenery are both gorgeous. Easy pick up and drop off. Clear communication. Could not ask for better a better experience. Thanks so much!!
Our captain Simon was extremely charming, informative, and considerate! More than just a private tour of the fjords, it was a lovely time spent zooming around, relaxing on the bow of the ship, listening to Simon’s colorful descriptions and Norwegian hit songs, swimming in the cove, and enjoying snacks and drinks! We all had an absolutely wonderful time, highly recommend!
Mark, glad you liked the Norwegian hits — most people just tolerate them. Come back and I'll update the setlist. — Simon
We had a great afternoon trip with skipper Simon. Riding the waves, and swimming in a beautiful bay. Salt water in our hair and laughter in our hearts!
"Salt water in our hair and laughter in our hearts" — can I use that as our tagline? What an afternoon. Hope to see you back on the water. — Simon
Absolutely wonderful day with a luxurious boat and a great knowledgeable captain. A true Norwegian summer experience.
