Discover the beautiful Hovedøya

Come with me on one of the small ferries that travel between the islands in the Oslo fiord We disembark at Hovedøya and walk together, surrounded by 400 years of history. We'll visit the ruins and hear the exciting stories about the munks and the monastery that once was here. You'll learn about the time when the island was used for quarantine during epidemics, and how it served the Germans during their occupation of Norway under the Second World War. After the tour is finished we return to the city together. In the summertime we can bring food and a bathingsuit, as the area is great for picknicing and swimming It's also possible to turn this tour into a jumping from island to island experience. We'll need more time, 5-6h depending on how many islands we visit. The maximum number we can reach by ferry is five, and it's beautiful to cover it all, because then you see the differences. Three are covered with small cottages and summer houses, and two are totally wild; I really recommend this tour!
