Oslo Fjord Exploration: Overnight Trip with Island Glamping
Oslo Fjord Exploration: Overnight Trip with Island Glamping
Welcome aboard for an Oslo Fjord overnight adventure!
A family friendly, hassle-free island glamping experience.
Day 1:
We start this adventure with a gentle cruise of the beautiful Oslo waterfront passing all of the main sights, including Oslo City Hall, the Akershus Fortress, Bjørvika with the fabulous Oslo Opera house and Edward Munch Museum. Continuing past Sørenga, we will proceed to take in the views of some of the picturesque islands of the inner Harbour area, including Hovedøya, Bleikøya, Gressholmen, Langøyene and Lindøya. The journey continues across the bay to the Sandvika archipelago where we will get up close to the many water front houses along the shoreline and islands there. At this point, we may want to stop for a swim to cool off before we pick up the pace and set course for Håøya to visit the very friendly cashmere goats who spend their summers there.
Håøya has a charming cafe and bakery and the best island served cinnamon buns in the Oslo Fjord, along with other speciality foods (and ice cream, ofcourse).
Once we feel ready to move on, we will keep heading south through the sound of Drøbak, heading for Løvøya island, where your glamping host will welcome you and get you settled in. Løvøya has beautiful hikes, beaches for bathing, activities for kids, and a cafe.
For dinner, you have the choice of the local cafe which has an informal, varied menu, or visit one of the restaurants in the nearby towns of Horten or Åsgårdstrand. High-end dining is available, and can be booked on your behalf upon request.
Day 2:
After a pleasant evening and a comfortable nights sleep, breakfast at the cafe will get us set up for another magnificent day on the water. We may begin with a tour of the inner harbour of Horten, before we head due east towards Moss, and pass through the quirky little channel. Continuing north through Mossesundet, a seafood lunch in the town of Son may tempt us, either as a sit down or a take away, before we head for Oscarsborg.
The history of what happened in the Oslo Fjord when Norway was invaded April 9th 1940 is present in many of the places you will visit, but none more than Oscarsborg Fortress where the shots that sunk german warship Blucher were fired from. An interesting visit for both young and old. Professional guide available.
Eventually, we'll have to turn the bow north towards Oslo and enjoy the Oslofjord sunset as we make our way back to the city.
Getting closer, we wiill pass the iconic Dyna lighthouse, Tjuvholmen with the Astrup Fearnley museum, and Aker Brygge before we arrive at our final destination in front of the Oslo City Hall, expecting to disembark around 17.00.
Informal commentary, local facts and history provided by your skipper while you can relax and enjoy time on the water.
Looking to go further? Add a second night, and let's plan something spectacular somewhere in the outer islands of Færder, Hvaler or both.
