Two sides of Oslo in one day
See the best of Oslo's nature from the forest and from the fjord, all in a single day with a local guide. In the morning, join our small-group guided hike through quiet forest trails just 20 minutes from the city centre, with lakeside views and a coffee break along the way. In the afternoon, step aboard a silent, electric fjord cruise and glide past islands, lighthouses and Oslo's waterfront landmarks.
It is a relaxed, unhurried way to experience both the calm of the Norwegian forest and the beauty of the Oslofjord, the way locals love it, away from the crowds.
