What to expect

Embark on an exciting island-hopping adventure with local guides. Discover some of the most charming destinations and natural features of the Oslofjord. Explore hidden beaches and birch forests and enjoy views of idyllic summer cabins and wooden houses as you hop from island to island.

Hop on a local ferry and head to Hovedøya, a captivating island steeped in history. Discover the fascinating story of English monks who arrived here to Christianize post-Viking Oslo, setting up a mighty abbey almost a millennium ago. Explore the remarkably preserved ruins on the island.

Wander through sheep pastures and picturesque birch forests, making your way to old ramparts and cannons dating back to the 19th-century Napoleonic Wars. Take in the rugged beauty of the coastline and stop at stunning hidden beaches and lookout points before catching the next ferry.

The second island is a delightful summer retreat with traditional wooden homes and flowery gardens that create a lovely contrast against the surrounding fjord. Hike up to the island's summit for breathtaking views. If you want, pick up some delicious treats at a local food store for a picnic lunch.

Continue your journey by boarding another ferry and sailing to the last island, a nature reserve that boasts thick forests, dramatic sea cliffs, and secluded beaches, providing a serene and mesmerizing atmosphere to enjoy a drink before catching the ferry back to Oslo city center.
