When the temperature in the city rises, head for the sea to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet, feel the cool breeze on your skin, and relish that true holiday feeling. With an ever-increasing number of activities, everyone can enjoy a day out on the fjord, no matter the budget.
Here are some of our favourites.
Go on a cruise
Lean back and enjoy your exploration of the Oslo Fjord. Full speed ahead on a RIB, silent on an electric ferry, or even grandiose and elegant on an old sailing boat. Find the boat that best suits you!
Go kayaking
Are kayaks boats? Of course they are! Normally, you need a licence to paddle around on the Oslo fjord. However, with a guided tour, everyone can explore the natural beauty of the fjord and Oslo’s hip waterfront whilst getting a good workout.
Fly on the water with Efoil
Are kayaks and oars a little too slow to your taste? Experience the Oslo Fjord at full speed, feet planted on the electric Efoil board, while your own sense of balance determines your height and direction on the water. Adrenaline rush guaranteed!
Rent a Viking rowboat
If you want to feel like a Viking, you can rent a traditional færing from Åretak, right next to the Opera house, and go plundering on the Oslo fjord. The Vikings built færing-type boats using the same techniques they used for building their famous Viking ships. To rent them, you don’t need to believe in Odin and Thor, you just have to be able to swim.
