After a quick briefing, we will walk down 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!
After just 15 minutes on an electric ferry, we’ll reach the first island, filled with nature and beautiful scenery. Wander through the island paradise while your guide tells you about Norwegian culture and nature, all while soaking in stunning fjord views. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take a refreshing dip at one of the tranquil beaches—just don’t forget your swimsuit!
Next, we’ll ferry over to explore a charming island known for its picturesque coastal cottages—a beloved weekend retreat for Oslo locals. As we cruise past several other islands, you’ll get a glimpse of authentic Norwegian island life, where colorful cabins line the shores and locals embrace the slow, scenic pace of the fjord.
After soaking up the island charm, we’ll board our ferry back to Aker Brygge, giving you one last chance to marvel at the beauty of the Oslo Fjord. Back on land, you can choose to stay to explore the vibrant waterfront district, or wrap up this adventure with a smooth tram ride back to the city center with your guide. This is the ultimate way to experience Oslo’s island paradise, rich history, and stunning nature, all in one incredible trip. Pack your swimsuit, grab your camera, and get ready for an experience you’ll be talking about long after you leave Norway!

Such a fun experience, easy walks around the island and a super friendly and knowledgeable guide! The break on the boat between islands was so nice!
Thank you for taking that adventure with us! We are happy that you had such a great time!
We loved our island hopping tour! Our guide Miles was informative and fun. We learned more about the Norwegian history and culture. Would recommend this!
Very interesting and fascinating day. We were blessed with decent weather and our guide was very informative and helpful. We went to 2 islands, first stopping at the large Hovedøya which is uninhabited but is popular in the summer but has a very interesting history. Then we stopped off at the stunning Nakholmen which is inhabited and dotted with lots of small colourful little houses and beautiful views. A wonderful tour and really fascinating
The tour uses the ferry very efficiently Peter gives a detailed tour of both islands with a minimal wait time for the ferry. The islands are unique with great views
Look. Simple trip that goes to two islands. We walked around them with the guide explaining. Nothing much. Cherish contact with rustic nature. But I found it dispensable and tiring.
Thank you very much for booking a tour with us! The tour was conducted exactly as described. This is a very popular tour, and the majority of our guests greatly appreciate this close encounter with the Oslo Fjord and the islands.
Had a beautiful island hopping excursion: two beautiful islands that were very different from each other. An experience not to be forgotten, thanks to the captivating stories of the enthusiastic guide! And we also had beautiful weather with it.
Visit 2 islands via public ferry. Tour is more a hiking tour than a boat tour so be aware. But very nice way of seeing 2 local islands where Norwegians relax. A wonderful visit showing a very different part of Oslo. And the 2 guides (I forget their names) were very friendly.
Couldn’t get to the meeting point on time as we were told that it would take 15 minutes to get there from the ship, but it actually took 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for booking a trip with us! We tried calling you repeatedly so that we could meet you at a location other than the original meeting point. If you had answered our call, or contacted us directly, we could have arranged for you to join us. Everyone who participated loved the trip and the experience!
A wonderful afternoon with our guide Lin who personalized the tour with her knowledge and experience. Worth making sure you come prepared for rain and that food options on Sunday in Oslo are limited.
Description does not match the tour. No tram, but a walk to the landing stage. Unprepared tour, rudimentary explanations. A lot of room for improvement. Absolutely overpriced.
Thank you so much for booking a tour with us! And it is very sad that you experienced it the way you describe. The guide explained why you could not take the tram, but had to walk the 10 minutes down to the quay. She has led this tour many times, and always gets very good feedback. The fact that the description of the tour is not correct must be due to a misunderstanding. You are welcome to contact us directly.
