After a quick briefing, we take a short stroll through the lively city streets toward 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 Gressholmen, an island nature reserve, famous for its 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 Gressholmen’s tranquil beaches—just don’t forget your swimsuit!
Next, we’ll ferry over to explore Nakholmen, 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 Nakholmen’s 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!

Local guide with a great understanding of the area. Aside from excellent information during our tour we got many great suggestions for how to spend the rest of our time in Oslo
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Kirsti was a great guide with so much information! The tour was relaxed yet informative, saw some scenic areas I would not have seen otherwise.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I don’t believe it was worth the price but we did enjoy it! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The islands were beautiful and unique. I think this trip would be a little different if it was during the summer but we really did enjoy it and learned a lot about Norway as a whole, Oslo as a city, and the surrounding islands.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
The guide never showed up. Beware of this irresponsible company. They never responded to my texts nor the Viator operator call.
Good morning. I see that you booked this tour 4 July. This booking has never been sent from Viator to our booking system. We did not know that you had booked a tour yesterday. I am really sorry about this, and I willcontact Viator to understand what happend. They will refund you money.
Wonderful opportunity to view Oslo from a different vantage point. We enjoyed strolling around these two small islands.
Thank you, very happy you liked it!
Lots of photo opportunities and good footwear required. Great having local guide to point out local points of interest.

Was a great way to see the islands and visit local culture first hand. Our guide, Lynn, was great fun, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend.
Thank you, very happy you liked it!
This was a wonderful to see a different part of Oslo. The walks in the forests on the islands were beautiful and peaceful and we learned so much about Oslo, and Norway’s history with our excellent guide.
Thank you, very happy you liked it!
