Oslo Islands Ramble – Guided Walking Tour

Having taken in the 'city-centre highlights', many Oslo visitors are delighted to discover boat trips cruising around the islands at the the top of the fjord. But why just look on when you can explore the islands yourselves? The Oslo Islands Ramble is steeped in history, strewn with wild flowers and filled with bird song. Get the low-down on the ruins of the 12th century monastery, take in the views from the island tops and, in spring, breathe in the scent of lily-of-the-valley and wild garlic. Listen too for the mating call of the Eider ducks! Maybe explore the wildest of the islands, Gressholmen and Rambergøya, (orchids if you know where to look), or experience the remarkable tranquility of cabin life on Lindøya. The whole trip can be organised to suit you, depending on your timetable and your interests. Perhaps you want to stop and take a swim or train a lens or two on flora and fauna? Then that's what we can do; it’s your holiday after all!
