Oslo Island Hop: Nature Walks & Fjord Views
255
Overview
Oslo Nature Walks: Island Hopping lets people discover the Oslo fjord islands like a local. This tour uses public ferries to visit two or three islands, depending on the season. A local guide leads the way through forests, along sea cliffs, and through charming villages.
Explore the old ruins of a monastery that's almost 1000 years old. From April to September, enjoy a picnic on a hidden beach (bring your own lunch). From October to March, there's a cozy stop for hot drinks. Walk along flower-covered paths in a village with colorful wooden cabins. The views of Oslo and the water are amazing, with lots of chances to take pictures. Key stops include the Ancient Monastery Nature Preserve, Oslo Bird Sanctuary (Former Airport), and Cabin Island.
If it's summer, bring a swimsuit for a dip in the Oslo fjord. The water is surprisingly warm! This tour includes a ticket for the public ferries and a guided tour. It doesn't include lunch (but there's a picnic stop from April to September). Good walking or trail shoes are a good idea because the paths are dirt, gravel, and stones.
