Colorful wooden cottages, medieval ruins and peaceful coastal scenery await just minutes from central Oslo. Join a guided 4.5-hour island-hopping tour and experience three of the Oslofjord’s finest islands by local public ferry.

On Hovedøya, walk through green landscapes to the atmospheric ruins of a Cistercian monastery founded by English monks nearly 900 years ago. Hear fascinating stories of medieval Oslo and see historic fortifications, old cannons and beautiful fjord viewpoints.

On Gressholmen, enjoy the capital’s quieter, wilder side as forest and coastal paths lead you through unspoiled nature towards the lighthouse. On Lindøya, stroll past colourful summer cottages, flower-filled gardens and charming lanes while learning about the island lifestyle loved by generations of Oslo residents.

Relax between stops with fresh sea air and panoramic views from the ferry. With history, nature, local stories and unforgettable photo opportunities, this is the perfect escape from the city.
