🌟 The Ultimate Oslo Island-Hopping Adventure

Your journey kicks off at Jernbanetorget, where your expert guide will meet you by Backstube Opera outside Oslo Central Station. After a quick briefing, we’ll 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!

🚢 Set Sail on a Fully Electric Ferry

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.

🔥 Don’t Miss Out

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!
