About this activity
Combine a scenic Oslo ferry journey with a social BBQ and guided nature walk on Hovedoya, a serene fjord island just minutes from the city center. Your host provides the setup and local storytelling while you bring your own food and drinks for an intimate outdoor gathering surrounded by coastal beauty.
Colorful summer cottages, historic monastery ruins, quiet coastal paths, fresh sea air, and beautiful fjord views set the scene for this relaxed island-hopping tour through the Oslofjord.
Travel by public ferry like the locals and experience Oslo from a calmer, more scenic side. Visit Lindøya, where traditional wooden cottages, colorful gardens, narrow paths, and small beaches reflect local summer island life. Continue to Hovedøya to explore medieval monastery ruins, green open spaces, old fortifications, and peaceful coastal paths.
Enjoy time for photos, fresh air, and fjord views before returning to Oslo with beautiful city skyline views throughout the relaxing journey.
