Oslo: Guided Winter Island Tour with Ferry Ride & Hot Drink｜Norway

Begin your adventure by boarding Oslo's public electric ferry, which silently whisks you away to another world that feels far from the city.

On Hovedøya, walk the frozen paths to a nearly 900-year-old abbey, followed by a stunning view from the old ramparts that encompasses the snow-covered forest, city skyline, and moody fjord waters in the winter.

Next, head to Lindøya, an island famous for its colorful cabins and amazing coastal scenery. The summer village is sleepy in the winter, and the small frozen alleys between the cabins create the perfect winter backdrop.

Cross a small footbridge to an even smaller island, and enjoy a warm winter drink and gingerbread break, surrounded by the fjord's amazing winter scenery.

During this tour, spend a little more than 2.5 hours on the islands and about 30 minutes on the boat. If the weather is extremely cold, the guide can adjust to enjoy more time on the boats and a bit less time on the islands.
