The Ultimate Oslo Island-Hopping Adventure
Your journey kicks off from Oslo city center, where you will meet your expert guide. From here we will hop aboard an **electric tram—"trikk," as the locals call it—**and glide through the vibrant city streets 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 unforgettable island-hopping experience!

In just 10 minutes, we’ll reach Hovedøya, an island where history and nature collide. Wander through the hauntingly beautiful ruins of a 12th-century monastery, explore scenic forest trails, and soak in stunning fjord views. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take a refreshing dip at one of Hovedøya’s tranquil beaches—just don’t forget your swimsuit!
Discover Nakholmen – A Hidden Gem of Cabin Culture
Next, we’ll ferry over to 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.
⛴️ One Last Fjord Cruise & A Scenic Ride Home
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. Then, we’ll hop back on the tram for a smooth ride to Jernbanetorget, wrapping up this unforgettable 4-hour adventure.
