Please note that from Apr-Aug this tour is 4-4.5 hours long and we visit 3 islands. From Sep-Mar, this tour is 3-3.5 hours and we visit 2 or 3 islands depending on the weather and the boat schedule.

Discover the majestic islands of the Oslofjord, hopping on and off ferries to hike the forests, cliffs, charming villages and historic sites of 2-3 islands (season dependant). With a local guide, explore the ruins of a 900 year old abbey, picnic on a cosy beach (Oct-Mar, a small stop with hot drinks will be provided) and stroll through a village of colourful wooden cabins and flower-lined paths. The stunning views of Oslo and its hills provide a scenic backdrop, with photo spots at every turn. Don't forget a swim suit in the Summer months to bathe in the surprisingly warm waters of the Oslo fjord! Time for a picnic is included and participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Good walking shoes or trail shoes are recommended as the hiking is done on dirt paths, gravel and stones.
