Island hopping in the Oslo Fjord

Take a ferry and go island hopping between the islands in the inner Oslo Fjord!

With a regular public transportation ticket or an Oslo Pass you can easily get on and off any of the ferries going between Aker brygge, Hovedøya, Lindøya, Nakholmen, Bleikøya, Gressholmen and Langøyene.

The islands are popular places to go swimming in the summer, but each island has its unique character and history worth exploring. Bring a picnic basket and a blanket and enjoy the peace and quiet just minutes away from the city centre.

Ferry lines from Aker brygge
Linje B1: Hovedøya > Lindøya øst > Gressholmen > Bleikøya > Nakholmen > Lindøya vest > Hovedøya (June-August)
Linje B2: Hovedøya > Gressholmen > Langøyene (June–August)

Ferry line from City Hall Pier 3
Route B9: Dronningen > Bygdøynes (Mar/Apr–Sep/Oct, covered by the Oslo Pass, but not by the regular tickets)

Check ruter.no for updated timetables.

Note: Do NOT miss the last ferry back from the islands to the city centre! There is no water taxi service available in Oslo. The Norwegian Society for Sea’s main purpose is to save lives at sea and help people in need. The same goes for the police and fire department: they are NOT transportation services. On rare occasions, the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue can transport people back to the city centre but the fee for this journey will be a minimum of 5.000 NOK.
