Descripción
Oslo's islands hold monastery ruins, WWII history, and colourful cabin villages - all reachable by a public ferry. Explore them with a Private Licensed Guide and private transfer included.
Oslo's islands sit just minutes from the city by ferry, but most visitors never make it out there. This Private Island Hopping Tour with Rosotravel takes you to three of the archipelago's most beautiful and historically rich islands, led by a Private Licensed Guide. Book your place today.
Book a 4-hour private island hopping tour of Oslo's archipelago, starting with a private transfer from your accommodation to the ferry dock. From there, you board the public ferry and head out into the Oslo fjord, leaving the city behind within minutes.
Your first stop is Hovedøya, the closest island to Oslo and the most historically layered. The ruins of a 12th-century Cistercian monastery sit quietly in the forest here, one of the oldest surviving structures in the Oslo region. Your guide brings the story of the monks who built it to life, alongside the island's later role as a military outpost and gunpowder store.
From there you continue to Gressholmen, a protected nature reserve and one of the most peaceful spots in the archipelago. The island played an unexpected role in aviation history — it was the site of Norway's first seaplane base in the 1920s and 1930s, and the old terminal building still stands. Your guide explains what happened here while you walk through a landscape of wildflowers, birds, and open water views.
The final stop is Lindøya, known for its colourful wooden summer cabins that have been in the same families for generations. It is a side of Norwegian life that most visitors never see — quiet, unhurried, and genuinely charming. Your guide closes the tour here with the story of how Oslofjord island life shaped the city's relationship with nature and the sea.
Book your place today and discover the Oslo that exists just across the water.
