“Great experience from beginning to end. Amazing scenery and great hospitality. No matter the weather the scenery won’t disappoint”
Sail Oslo Fjord for two hours from Rådhusbrygge 3 on an authentic sailing ship. You’ll pass Hovedøya, Dyna Lighthouse, narrow inlets, colorful island cabins, and the Opera House, with English narration, warm blankets, a bar, and optional Bygdøy museum access in winter.
“It was pleasant enough but not fantastic. I liked the English guide and many of the facts were so interesting but there’s just so much time taken leaving the harbor. I know it can’t be helped but I guess I was clueless as to what to expect.”
Paddle from the fishing village of Muo toward Prčanj and Stoliv with an English-speaking guide such as Tony. Expect calm water, Old Town views, local stories, a beach break, swimming, and snorkeling. The group is limited to five, and the route covers about 6 kilometers.
“The activity was a great relaxing start to the day. Our guide, Tony was very knowledgeable and made the experience much better. We stopped off for a nice swim in a bay. Would definitely recommend!”
Spend two hours cruising Alta Fjord toward Kåfjord, once used by the German battleship Tirpitz. Your small group may spot seals, porpoises, birds, or whales while a guide such as Einstein or Timo explains the area. Warm coveralls, safety gear, tea, coffee, and biscuits are included.
“It was absolutly amazing. Very nice tour guide (Timo) and good introduction by Icecube. We received good thermo clothing. The tour was very nice and we got a lot of information and interesting facts. Thank you again Timo and Icecube. We can absolutly recommend this tour and Icecube of Aurora.”
