Boat Trips and Tours in Oslo with Salty Beard

Are you looking for an unforgettable way to experience Oslo? Salty Beard offers exclusive and personalized boat trips and tours from Oslo that combine natural beauty, local culture, and maritime adventure. Our custom-made boat tours provide the perfect escape from the ordinary.

Oslo is one of the few capital cities in the world where the wilderness meets the sea. The Oslofjord, with its tranquil waters, rugged islands, and panoramic views, offers a unique backdrop for both relaxation and adventure. A boat trip in Oslo allows you to explore this urban archipelago in comfort and style, giving you a completely new perspective on the city.

From the famous Opera House and Akershus Fortress to remote islets with hidden beaches, our tours show you the real Oslo — the one you can’t see from the streets.

Our boat tours from Oslo are customizable, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, organizing a company outing, planning a romantic evening, or just want a spontaneous escape into nature.

We offer several suggested routes, but you’re always welcome to design your own adventure:

• Island Hopping in the Oslofjord

Visit the iconic inner fjord islands like Hovedøya, Gressholmen, and Langøyene. Ideal for swimming, picnics, or sunset views.

• Sunset Cruise with Champagne

Perfect for couples or small groups. Enjoy golden hour light on the water with drinks and music.

• Nature and Wildlife Safari

Spot seals, eagles, seabirds, and maybe even porpoises and dolphins while we cruise the outer parts of the fjord.

• Cultural City Tour from the Water

Pass Oslo’s waterfront landmarks — the Munch Museum, Barcode skyline, Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen — from a unique maritime angle.

We’re not a big tour operator. We’re a small, local company built on passion for the sea and personal service. Our skippers are not only certified and experienced but also know where to find the hidden gems of the fjord and some of the stories that bring them to life.

With Salty Beard, you don’t just get a ride. You get a personalized boat trip that’s equal parts relaxation, adventure, and local insight.

Our Boat – Comfortable, Stylish, and Safe

Our vessel is a modern and stylish Nimbus 26 Nova, a swedish-built adventure boat known for its versatility, safety and comfort. Designed to handle all weather conditions, it includes:

• Seating for up to 6 passengers
• Enclosed canopy with heating for cooler days
• Open deck fore and aft for sun and fresh air
• Bluetooth speaker system for your music
• Onboard fridge for drinks and snacks
• Outdoor fresh water shower

Whether you’re planning a summer swim or a cozy autumn cruise, our boat ensures you’ll have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Most people think boat tours are for summer only — but the Oslofjord is magical all year. Here’s what you can expect by season:

• Spring: Blooming nature, longer days, fewer boats on the water. Great for peaceful exploration.
• Summer: Peak season for swimming, sunshine, and vibrant island life. Our most popular period.
• Autumn: Crisp air, golden light, and unique photo opportunities. Ideal for romantic cruises.
• Winter: Oslofjord covered in morning mist or snow. A calm, quiet experience for the adventurous.

Group Sizes and Events

Salty Beard specializes in small groups for a personal and intimate experience. We typically accommodate:

• Couples and small families
• Groups up to 6 people
• Micro-weddings or proposals
• Business partners or clients
• Solo travelers wanting a tailored tour
