Escape the city and dive into the fresh air, salty breeze, and natural beauty of the Oslofjord on this exciting island-hopping adventure. With a friendly local guide to lead the way, you’ll discover three of Oslo’s most beautiful and contrasting islands — each with its own charm, scenery, and atmosphere.

Hovedøya
Your journey begins with a short ferry ride to Hovedøya (“Main Island”), where wild nature meets ancient history. Step straight into the past as you explore the impressive ruins of a 12th-century abbey, tucked among grassy meadows and quiet forest trails. Your guide will point out highlights and hidden corners, leaving space for you to wander, snap photos, and take in the views at your own pace. The coastline offers rugged beauty with crystal-clear water, small beaches, and scenic lookout points.

Gressholmen
Hop on the ferry again and sail to Gressholmen, a laid-back island where Oslo’s wild side shines. This peaceful nature retreat is full of open fields, forest paths, and quiet inlets perfect for exploring. Follow your guide along easy trails as you breathe in the fresh fjord air and take in the unspoiled landscapes.

Lindøya
We continue our island adventure on Lindøya, a true summer paradise. Here, colorful wooden cottages peek out from flower-filled gardens, and narrow footpaths wind past stunning views of the surrounding fjord. Your guide will lead you to some of the best lookout points and picnic spots.

Return to the city
Finish your day with a scenic ferry ride back to the city center, cruising past Oslo’s most iconic waterfront landmarks — including the medieval Akershus Fortress, the striking City Hall, and the lively Aker Brygge promenade.
